FIXED: using a server-to-server app, you can just add your JWT to the headers in the normal way and it seems to work.

How can I fetch a transcript through the API?

When I get a webhook, it includes a download token that I can use in conjunction with the download URL of the transcript to fetch it. But it doesn’t look like the API exposes this token.

So, if my server has been down for a month or two, how can I fetch the transcripts through the API to patch my data?

@dsmurrell hope you will be fine.

You need cc at real time or once meeting ended as file?
