Fathom Rate Limits

Limits

| Aspect | Value | |--------|-------| | Rate limit | 60 requests per minute | | Scope | Per user, across all API keys | | Higher limits | Not available |

Backoff Pattern

import time

def fathom_request_with_backoff(client, path, max_retries=3):
    for attempt in range(max_retries):
        try:
            return client.session.get(f"{client.config.base_url}{path}")
        except Exception as e:
            if "429" in str(e):
                delay = 2 ** attempt * 5
                time.sleep(delay)
            else:
                raise
    raise Exception("Max retries exceeded")

Batch Processing

import time

def process_all_meetings(client, meetings):
    for i, meeting in enumerate(meetings):
        transcript = client.get_transcript(meeting["id"])
        process(transcript)
        if (i + 1) % 50 == 0:
            time.sleep(60)  # Pause before next batch
