I read the article ([https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002212983-Closed-Captioning-with-REST-API](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115002212983-Closed-Captioning-with-REST-API)) on how to use the CC article, we are interested in connecting with closed captioning but are looking for a way we can access the CC API URL programmatically if the host has given our system access to their account or meeting. Is this something feasible today? ---

Hi @rishavj, Yes, that’s possible. But you would need to create a custom implementation for the same. You can refer to the example provided in the documentation: `https://wmcapi.zoom.us/closedcaption?id=200610693&ns=GZHkEA==&expire=86400&spparams=id%2Cns%2Cexpire&signature=nYtXJqRKCW` Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks, Ojus ---

Hi @ojus.zoom, In what way could it be fetched, here do we mean a custom implementation using the SDK where the host will have to authorize ? (We are still exploring the Zoom APIs so not very familiar with the ecosystem yet) ---

@rishavj, My sincere apologies. I reached to the concerned team, and at this time unfortunately it is not possible to obtain the url programatically. That being said, I will file this as a feature request, and forward it to our engineers so that they can consider to add these features in our future releases. You can follow our [changelog](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog) and [developer roadmap](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/stay-up-to-date/roadmap) to see the latest updates. Thanks ---

@ojus.zoom Thanks for checking with the team, would be great if it gets added in the near future roadmap. ---

Are there any updates on the priority of implementing this feature? I wasn’t sure which element on the roadmap represented this feature request. ---
