Steps
Generate an API key once from the Whereby dashboard and send it as Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> on all API calls
POST to https://api.whereby.dev/v1/meetings with at minimum endDate (ISO 8601) set — this is the only required field
Optionally set roomNamePrefix (up to 39 alphanumeric characters), roomMode (defaults to "normal", capped at 4 participants), and isLocked
Read roomUrl and meetingId back from the response
Embed the meeting with either an <iframe src="{roomUrl}"> or the <whereby-embed room={roomUrl}> web component, loading the embed script/package (@whereby.com/browser-sdk/embed or the CDN v2-embed.js)
Use the DELETE /v1/meetings/{meetingId} endpoint to clean up meetings you no longer need
Known gotchas
endDate is mandatory — the API will not create an open-ended meeting without an expiry
roomMode "normal" caps participants at 4; check current docs before assuming a higher-capacity mode applies under the same field value
Recording, transcription, and insights each live under their own separate endpoints (/v1/recordings, /v1/transcriptions, /v1/insights) — creating a meeting does not implicitly enable any of them
