How to Bulk Export Fathom Meetings (2026)

Q: Does MeetCrate store my Fathom key?

Only in your browser’s extension storage; disconnect removes it. Delete the key in Fathom to revoke it.

How do you bulk export Fathom meetings?

Method 1 — Fathom’s own tools

Fathom lets you work with individual meeting recordings and transcripts in its product UI. For a full archive as separate files you own, many people either download meetings one by one or use Fathom’s official API with their own key.

Method 2 — Fathom official API (your key)

Fathom exposes an official API. You create a personal API key in Fathom (Settings → API Access), then call the API yourself or with a tool you trust. You keep control of the key; revoke it in Fathom anytime.

Method 3 — MeetCrate bulk ZIP

MeetCrate is a Chrome and Edge extension. You paste your own Fathom API key; the key stays in your browser and is only sent to Fathom’s API to read meetings:

Install MeetCrate from the Chrome Web Store or Edge Add-ons.
In Fathom, open Settings → API Access and create an API key.
Paste the key into MeetCrate’s Fathom card. Your browser asks once to allow access to api.fathom.ai.
Select meetings (or only new since last export), pick Markdown, TXT, SRT or JSON, and download one ZIP with an index.csv.

Free: 25 exported meetings in total (any connected notetaker). Pro: US$29 one-time (as of Oct 2026), one license also covers Read AI, up to 3 browsers. Fathom’s free plan does not include AI action items, so those exports have none. Privacy policy.

No. MeetCrate is an independent product by LGD Ventures. Not affiliated with Fathom.

Can I export Read AI too?

Yes. Connect Read AI with its official sign-in in the same extension. See the Read AI export guide.

What about action items on Fathom Free?

Fathom’s free plan does not include AI action items, so MeetCrate exports from that plan have none. Transcripts and other fields your plan provides still export.
