Can't get meeting recording by uuid when uuid has slashes?

[scottjg (Scott)]

Description
I am trying to fetch a meeting recording by uuid via the /meeting/(recordingUUID)/recordings endpoint. In my case the meeting uuid has slashes in it: /ckQyTrqRFKXZHz0/PmVxQ==, so i try to GET /meeting/%2FckQyTrqRFKXZHz0%2FPmVxQ%3D%3D/recordings

Error
{“code”:3301,“message”:“This recording does not exist.”}

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
OAuth

Which Endpoint/s?
/meeting/%2FckQyTrqRFKXZHz0%2FPmVxQ%3D%3D/recordings

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
GET /meeting/%2FckQyTrqRFKXZHz0%2FPmVxQ%3D%3D/recordings

Additional context
In my UI, i display a list of recordings (/users/<user_id>/recordings) and allow the user to select one. I keep the recording UUID in the list, and try to download that recording with /meeting/(recordingUUID)/recordings. Is there a better way i should be doing this? I can’t use id from the recordings list because that seems to always pick the latest recording in that meeting.

Hey @scottjg

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:

meeting recording for developer account

is cloud recording disabled for developer account? I am trying to download a meeting recording that I had conducted, using https://api.zoom.us/v1/recording/get but i get ‘there is no recording for this meeting message’. I am passing the uuid as the meeting id. The meeting recording did get saved on my local machine when the meeting ended but I cannot retrieve the recording to test the get recording service.  

Uuid ignored in Create Meeting

We would like to specify the uuid when creating a new meeting using the api.  This was available in v1, but does not seem to work in v2.  The uuid value specified in the post data is ignored and a new uuid is created and sent back. Can we no longer specify the uuid for a meeting? 

If these threads did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.

Thanks,

Hey @scottjg,

Can you please try double url encoding the meetingUUID?

It would become this: %252FckQyTrqRFKXZHz0%252FPmVxQ%253D%253D

Thanks,
Tommy

It worked! Is that in the docs and I just missed it?
