Hi @tommy ! Hope you’re having a great day. As you seem to have replied to many of the threads involving downloading VTT files, I was wondering if you could give an update on how to do so with Oauth?

I’m using axios, my accessTokens are not expired, I have password protection turned off in my recording settings, and my zoom app has read and write recording scopes. However, when I go to the download link provided by my app’s webhook, I am still asked for a passcode.

I have tried sending axios requests to the file link, with Bearer AccessToken in the header, I have tried appending the transcript file’s passcode to the url where i send the axios request, I’ve tried using the download_token provided by my webhook as a replacement for my access token in my accios request, but still no luck.

Here is a sample of my code so far, this is the code I’ve used the variations of that I listed above:
const downloadUrl =
‘Passcode Required - Zoom’;
const accessToken = ‘eyJzdiI6…’;
const passcode = ‘*8n55bh3’;
const download_token =
‘eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJpc3MiOiJodHRwczovL2V2ZW50Lnpvb20udXMiLCJhY2NvdW50SWQiOiJXbDJhaWVoZVJXU2VrZzQ1SEJ6X0RRIiwiYXVkIjoiaHR0cHM6Ly9vYXV0aC56b29tLnVzIiwibWlkIjoiNzlDc3lWQ2dRWUtlTmFTK2dBRHJ5dz09IiwiZXhwIjoxNjkzNTg3NTIyLCJ1c2VySWQiOiJna09mcmNWS1J3eTNVOFVMaFlxclNBIn0.fC5pNDVY8xif054KXD2DMQLLl6viI4AHbA-JZZoJ72nWCBuN9xzlOJPQct6uNe1YlEF40H80I2-KF_NTnyhZ5w’;

try {
	const response = await axios.get(downloadUrl, {
		headers: {
			Authorization: `Bearer ${accessToken}`,
		},
	});

The recording that this is to was a test recording and does not include any sensitive data. Thank you for your help! Appreciate you and the zoom developer team :slight_smile:
