Hey,

To check which users have access to view a specific recording, you can use the **Recording Access API**. Although there might not be a direct API endpoint explicitly named for this purpose, you can achieve this by querying the user permissions associated with the recording.

Here’s a general approach you can take:

1. **Fetch the Recording Details** : Use the API to get the details of the recording, including its unique identifier.
2. **List User Permissions** : Use the API to list all the users and their permissions for the specified recording. This might involve fetching user roles or access lists related to the recording.
3. **Filter by Access Type** : Filter the users based on their access type to determine who has view permissions.

If the API documentation doesn’t provide a straightforward way to do this, you might need to combine several API calls or contact your API provider for more specific guidance.

Here’s a pseudocode example:

# Pseudocode

recording\_id = “your\_recording\_id”

# Step 1: Fetch recording details

recording\_details = get\_recording\_details(recording\_id)

# Step 2: List user permissions

user\_permissions = list\_user\_permissions(recording\_id)

# Step 3: Filter users with view access

view\_access\_users = filter\_users\_with\_view\_access(user\_permissions)

print(view\_access\_users)

If you need more detailed assistance, please provide more context or specific API endpoints you are working with, and I’d be happy to help further.

Best regards,

But I can find an API to get recording permissions by recording id.

How to find API. As a newbie we can’t find the exact one so easily

Hey @basika0911 , so there is no such zoom API to retrieve user list permission per recording id?

In other words, do I need to pass through all users and check what recording they can access in order to build the list of users who can view a recording ?

Thanks
