Fireflies GraphQL Performance Tuning

Overview

Reduce Fireflies latency and quota use through field minimization, bounded pagination, caching of non-sensitive metadata, and asynchronous webhook-driven retrieval.

Prerequisites

• The target repository or integration path and the requested operator outcome.
• The Fireflies principal, team, environment, and data classification for the work.
• Current Fireflies documentation, credentials only when needed, and an accountable approver.

Current Contract

GraphQL performance starts with smaller field selections and fewer calls. transcripts pages at most 50 records; cache only approved metadata, never assume summaries or sentences are immutable while processing, and prefer Webhooks V2 over aggressive polling.

Authentication

For authenticated operations, inject FIREFLIES_API_KEY from an approved secret manager and send it only as Authorization: Bearer REDACTED_KEY to https://api.fireflies.ai/graphql. Never print, commit, place in a URL, forward to a browser, or include the key in evidence. Webhook signing secrets are separate credentials and must not be reused as API keys.
