API access to your Recall knowledge base

The API would allow you to access all your Recall data as well as add more content and edit existing content.

API access is critical. Integration with tools like n8n would be a game-changer for the usefulness of this app.

Api access in general. Integration with n8n and other automation platforms

I'll jump in and ask for API too, just to raise the profile of it! Would be awesome. Didn't see it on the roadmap, which was sad.

The more I rely on Recall, the more it's a dead-end without an API to interact with it.
I'd love to set up automations to store my life in Recall. Use it to store links to read later, auto-summarize YouTube videos I add to a certain playlist, etc.
And with a tool like n8n, I can with Notion and others. But not Recall... :-(

jeff I'm in the same boat... claude + obisidian notes is really nice!
but i would feel OP with recall + claude working together on a central repo.
Praying this gets bumped to top priority... sad to see it get missed in the last run of features being reviewed.

Merged in a post:
Enable programmatic access to Recall knowledge base via API & API keys
C
Craig Myers
I’d like to request a secure public API for Recall that allows users to access their saved content (transcripts, PDFs, YouTube highlights, blog posts, etc.) programmatically.
Why this matters:
I want to integrate Recall with automation tools like n8n, Zapier, or custom scripts.
This would enable me to use Recall as a true knowledge brain in workflows, for example:
Feeding Recall content into AI generation pipelines (e.g., writing long-form posts with GPT).
Automating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) for chatbots or custom GPTs.
Keeping Supabase or vector DBs synced with Recall content for advanced semantic search.
Suggested functionality:
Authentication: Issue user-specific API keys.
Endpoints:
GET /documents → list all saved content (with filters: by type, tag, date).
GET /documents/{id} → fetch full content & metadata.
POST /documents → (optional) allow creating new entries.
GET /search?q=… → full-text or semantic search against stored data.
Rate Limits: Reasonable daily/monthly caps with option to request higher limits.
Benefits for Recall:
Expands Recall’s ecosystem — users can build custom integrations, increasing stickiness.
Makes Recall the single source of truth for knowledge workflows (instead of exporting/importing manually).
Adds enterprise appeal for teams that need automated, auditable data flows.

I'd be happy if it started with a simple offering like an API to add a new note.

If this is really an AI based product, the acid test would be does it really have all of the basic AI components one would expect. Like an API and MCP. Let’s go team. These are basics!! Time to get in the game!!
