In the marketplace document in the api of :  
/meetings/{meetingId}/recordings,  
It is said that if uuid include “//” or starts with “/” we need double encoding.  
But what i found was, one of the UUID contains “//” and it was double encoded but it still throw error.  
I tried with single encoding and it worked.

Is this bug in zoom or the document is not updated ?

Hey @sudip.bolakhe,

Thanks for pointing this out—this may depend on whether the UUID starts with the slash or just contains it. Was it the latter for you in this case?

Thanks,  
Will

Hey @sudip.bolakhe,

Please send an email to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with a link to this thread. In that email, please include the UUID as well as the encoded version that worked and the one that didn’t

I’ll use that to look into this.

Thanks,  
Max
