- API key from Fireflies.ai dashboard

## Instructions

### Step 1: Install SDK
```bash
# Node.js
npm install @fireflies/sdk

# Python
pip install fireflies
```

### Step 2: Configure Authentication
```bash
# Set environment variable
export FIREFLIES_API_KEY="your-api-key"

# Or create .env file
echo 'FIREFLIES_API_KEY=your-api-key' >> .env
```

### Step 3: Verify Connection
```typescript
// Test connection code here
```

## Output
- Installed SDK package in node_modules or site-packages
- Environment variable or .env file with API key
- Successful connection verification output

## Error Handling
| Error | Cause | Solution |

const client = new Fireflies.aiClient({
  apiKey: process.env.FIREFLIES_API_KEY,
});
```
