Hi,

Is there any endpoint that allows us to download zoom cloud recordings? Given, we have:

- A shareable link of the form: https : [//us02web.zoom.us](https://us02web.zoom.us) /rec/share/yf5SN4\_36HpJU6ucbsdvMJ630T6a81HQe\_KYNasdbg5q7lfQbHxaPNNBAMhdn
- A passcode: 8K#JmrF

I found the video SDK endpoints that allow downloading your own account’s recordings but could not find it for the shared recordings. Help would be appreciated. Thanks!

You need to provide the access token

> Hi @mamaheshwari, Thanks for reaching out! Do download the transcript file returned by our Cloud Recording endpoints, you will need to use the download\_url and append the download\_access\_token to the url as follows: https://api.zoom.us/recording/download/e2ed-dlkjgdfkgh-kslsdbsjf1a?download\_access\_token={token} Let me know if this helps!

Another option but I wouldn’t do it
