Hi @aadistudio ,

Are you trying to get cloud recordings for your Zoom client, or from a Video SDK application you’ve created? If the latter, you do need a separate Zoom developer account for working with the Video SDK.

Hi @rehema.zoom

Can you help me with how to use the Zoom Client?
Are you referring to the npm install command for Zoom?
There is limited documentation available on the internet.
Could you please guide me on how to fetch cloud recordings using the Zoom Client?

Thanks,
Aadithya

Hi @aadistudio ,

Zoom Client is in reference to the downloaded application on your computer, not an npm package. Where are you initiating these recordings? Is it in an application you created yourself, or in a Zoom meeting? If you’re able, you can send a screenshot of the record button you’re clicking to give me a better idea.

Just in case, here is documentation on retrieving recordings with the Zoom Client.

Thanks,
Rehema

I found the answer to the problem of accessing Zoom Cloud Recordings using the API Reference. To achieve this, you need to follow these steps:

  1. Create a server-to-server OAuth application on the Zoom Marketplace by logging in with an account that has access to the cloud recording feature. Make sure to enable the necessary scopes for reading recordings.

  2. Implement API calls as follows:

    a. Use a POST request to https://zoom.us/oauth/token to fetch the access token for the account.

    b. Use a GET request to https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{user_id}/recordings?from=1958-03-15&to=2023-09-20, replacing {user_id} with the email of the host who created the meeting.
