Do recording's play_url and download_url expire?

Hi, I have some questions about the play_url and download_url of recordings.

When I call GET /meetings/{meetingId}/recordings, I receive play_url and download_url of the recording.
But, I’ve noticed that the URLs keep changing every time.

Does that mean the URLs have lifespans? If so, should I get new fresh URLs whenever I want to play or download the recordings?
And I also wonder why the URLs keep changing in the first place.

Thanks.

Thanks for your response.

Wow, I’m surprised that the URLs do expire… So, here is one more question.

Because of the lifespans, It seems that I can’t store the URLs in my database and reuse them later. But, I want to access the recordings of finished meetings after their meetingIds are expired.

Can I store the UUIDs of the finished meetings (the IDs of past meeting instances) in my database and use them to query new play_url and download_url, so I can play and download the old recordings after a couple of years?

Thanks.

Hi @hyw793
Thank you!
I apologize, I meant to say that the download_token that you receive with the recording. completed event expires.
Not the play_url, nor the download, but they do change everytime you query a new one using our API

Hi @elisa.zoom
Thanks for your response again.

I’m glad to hear that because I don’t have to change my business logic. LOL

I’ll select your last response as the solution.
