Hey @drm4u

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question.

Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for:

Webhook Recording for Cloud only?

Description/Error Question/Clarification. Does the new webhook for recordings only fire for cloud recordings? For example, if user has the meeting set to record local, I would like to still get recording started, recording completed, etc. Will the webhook still fire for local recording? Which Endpoint/s or App Types webhooks - recording

Cloud recording not record

I have activated the option to record the meetings automatically, but it does not record them.

Hey @drm4u,

You can use the Get Users Cloud Recordings endpoint to see if the user has cloud recording/s.

If that does not answer your question, please share your use case so I understand what you are trying to do.

Thanks,
Tommy

Tommy, I looked at that option but that endpoint will only check a month at a time. If I have a user that has had an account for 3 year I have to iterate through it 36 times just to answer the question Does this user have any cloud recording? That may not be to bad for a few users but often I am checking thousands of accounts.

All I really want to know is does a user have any recordings. I do not need to see them I just want to know if any exist.

A field on the User Export function in the portal that contained a value that indicated a user had a recording or the number of recordings would give me what I need but since it does not I need to find a way to do it with API calls.

Hey @drm4u,

Gotcha thanks for clarifying your use case.

Please submit a feature request here: #feature-requests to add a recording_count property to the Get User API.

Thanks,
Tommy
