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?

Hey @minuslr, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

An easy way to programmatically get a meeting transcript is via the [Transcript Completed Webhook](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/recording-events/recording-transcript-completed) which contains the `download_url`.

The Transcript should also be retrievable from the [Cloud Recording endpoints](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingslist).

Thanks,  
Tommy
