Hey @skinner.cheng

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:

> Hi, I saw this article online: [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) But it seems as though the closed captioning API might be deprecated?

> [@Downloading Closed Captions](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/7869):

> We are using V2 API. We recorded a meeting yesterday and we requested closed captions. They day after I checked the API in Postman: /meetings/:meetingId/recordings uuid “NzygAVdoTGuBFL6g63o0nw==” and I see there is two recording\_files, one with recording\_type: shared\_screen\_with\_speaker\_view and one with audio\_only. Can we ever expect to see a closed caption file here in the API for download or if not where can we programmatically get the download URL from?

> [@Difference between audio transcript and closed captions](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/6035):
>
> Description/Error The meeting recording APIs show that a meeting can contain closed captions files (type CC) and audio transcript files (type audio\_transcript). Both are reported to be VTT files. What is difference between the two? Who or what creates the audio transcript? (human created/machine created).

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,
