Hi Team, I’m able to access download URLs and when the download URL is pasted into the browser it is downloading the mp4 file. The same URL from server side (c# language) return invalid URL. How can I access the URL from server side. Is there any method to download the video file ? Sample Download URL - [REDACTED] Thanks Fremin Francis ---

Hey @Fremin, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. First, check that you’re using an `access_token` when downloading the URL, as show in the [Get Meeting Recordings API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/cloud-recording/recordingget): ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/d/c/dca5351365c38b51b77df5329fcd76a2c9523cce.png) Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

Hey @Fremin, When I navigate to the URL, I’m seeing the following error: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/3/b/3b2aab8303fcae8e3d55d23135cf8b2866fb6134.png) Please make sure that the account you’re using to make these requests still has access to Cloud Recording for these requests to work. We don’t have another API that you can use to download the recording but you should be able to make a GET request to the download URL (with the access\_token) and receive the recording file in response. Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

Hey @Fremin, Thank you for clarifying! It seems this is related to the C# code itself and not something that we can change on our end. Looking at the documentation for the [GetAsync()](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.net.http.httpclient.getasync?view=net-5.0) function, we can see a bit more about the issue that I think you’re encountering: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/4/b/4ba216ad3b38e9c3c5ad279fccd67c708120cde4.png) I was also able to find a stackoverflow post covering this that might be helpful: > Let me know if that helps.
