Hi,

&nbsp;

Is there a way to get the audio content from a password protected cloud recording from the API? If the recording is protected by a password, fetching the download\_url responds with an HTML error page.

&nbsp;

Thanks

Hi, there are no options to override downloading a password protected recording file.&nbsp;

Thanks
