**Description**  
Currently we have a requirement from business to analyze cloud recording data from sales meetings regularly.  
One method I thought is to create a PowerAutomate flow to download a meeting recording (to be more exact, what we want is an audio file for the recording) for specific sales users each day, and store it to a cloud file service and feed it to analyzing software.  
Is it possible with Zoom API to accomplish such idea?  
I’ve learned it is possible to get a “download\_url” with below API:  
/v2/accounts/{accountId}/users/{userId}/recordings  
Is there any other way to get the actual cloud recording file as binary data, not a url link?  
Also, in our tenant cloud recording passcode is mandatory.  
Is it possible to download a specific user’s cloud recording file with a passcode?

Hi @anan.m,

Thanks for reaching out about this, and good questions.

First, I should note that you can retrieve cloud recordings based on either Meeting ID or User ID:

> **[Get meeting recordings - Cloud Recording - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget)**
>
> Get all the recordings from a meeting or a Webinar. The recording files can be downloaded via the download\_url property listed in the response.

> **[List all recordings - Cloud Recording - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingslist)**
>
> When a user records a meeting or a webinar by choosing the Record to the Cloud option, the video, audio, and chat text are recorded in the Zoom cloud. 
> ...

To clarify, however, all of our endpoints return the download\_url, there is not another method to download the recording.

Regarding downloading password protected recordings, this is possible—you just need to append an access token to the download URL:

Let me know if this helps!
