  }

  async listMeetings(limit = 20) { return this.get<{meetings: any[]}>("/meetings", {limit: String(limit)}); }
  async getTranscript(id: string) { return this.get(`/recordings/${id}/transcript`); }

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning | Action | |--------|---------|--------| | 401 | Invalid API key | Regenerate key | | 404 | Recording not found | Verify recording ID | | 429 | Rate limited (60/min) | Backoff and retry |
