openminutes get

Purpose

Export one Minute as transcript text or subtitles.

The exported content is printed to stdout by default. Use -O, --output to write it to a file. Output files are created exclusively and existing files are never overwritten.

Usage

openminutes get TOKEN [flags]

Arguments

Argument	Description
TOKEN	Required object token for the Minute to export. Exactly one token is accepted.

Flags

Flag	Default	Description
--file_type string	txt	Export format. Supported values are txt and srt.
--speaker	false	Include speaker names in the exported text.
--timestamp	false	Include timestamps in the exported text.
-O, --output string	empty	Write exported content to this file path.
--json	false	Print structured JSON instead of plain text or the default saved-file message.

Global flags such as --config and --verbose are also available.

Examples

openminutes get m_abc123
openminutes get m_abc123 --json
openminutes get m_abc123 --file_type srt --speaker --timestamp -O meeting.srt
openminutes get m_abc123 -O transcript.txt --json

Output

Without --output, plain output is the exported content. OpenMinutes adds a trailing newline when the exported content does not already end with one.

With --output, plain output confirms the saved file:

Saved m_abc123 to meeting.srt

With --json and no output file, the exported content is included inline:

{
  "object_token": "m_abc123",
  "file_type": "txt",
  "speaker": false,
  "timestamp": false,
  "bytes": 128,
  "content": "Transcript content"
}

With --json and --output, the content is written to disk and the JSON contains metadata:

{
  "object_token": "m_abc123",
  "file_type": "srt",
  "speaker": true,
  "timestamp": true,
  "bytes": 256,
  "output_path": "meeting.srt"
}

Errors And Notes

• Requires a valid config and cookie.
• TOKEN is required and must not be blank.
• Only one token is accepted.
• --file_type must be txt or srt.
• If --output is passed with an empty value, the command fails before the API call.
• If the output path already exists, the command fails before the API call.
• If writing the output file fails, OpenMinutes removes the partial file.
