How to know what the occurrence_id on recording_completed webhook?

[rishpandey]

I am sorry as this has been asked before multiple times but I still can’t nail this.

I am using the recording_completed webhook to move recordings from zoom cloud to S3. After the meeting has ended and recordings are ready I receive the webhook with some data like this

   [
     "uuid" => "Z42qqXvzQk6oCRnkfxwTjw==",
     "id" => 83286273790,
     "account_id" => "",
     "host_id" => "",
     "topic" => "",
     "type" => 8,
     "start_time" => "2021-04-08T23:24:23Z",
     "timezone" => "Asia/Calcutta",
     "host_email" => "",
     "duration" => 0,
     "total_size" => 208552,
     "recording_count" => 2,
     "share_url" => "",
     "recording_files" => [
       [
         "id" => "",
         "meeting_id" => "",
         "recording_start" => "2021-04-08T23:24:25Z",
         "recording_end" => "2021-04-08T23:24:31Z",
         "file_type" => "MP4",
         "file_extension" => "MP4",
         "file_size" => 113599,
         "play_url" => "",
         "download_url" => "",
         "status" => "completed",
         "recording_type" => "shared_screen_with_speaker_view",
       ],
       [...],
     ],
   ]

I need to know the completed recording’s meeting_id and occurrence_id.

I get the meeting_id with payload[‘object’][‘id’]. I understand that the occurrence_id is not present and we need to use the UUID somehow.

What I want to know is what exact API call can I do and with what parameter (I am guessing meeting_id in recording_files array.) to get to the occurrence_id.

Thanks in advance.

Hey @rishpandey,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Once a meeting has occurred, you can use the UUID to refer to an instance of a meeting. When trying to access occurrence_ids Try using the occurrences array from the Get a Meeting API in order to see occurrence IDs of a meeting.

Participant join/left webhook doesn't send occurrence id as well as actual meeting session start time for recurring meeting

Hey @pritam1, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. This is a great question! It’s difficult to map occurrences to UUIDs for some of the same reasons that you mentioned here. For instance, let’s say we have the following meetings: occurrence 1: 03/01 occurrence 2: 03/03 occurrence 3: 03/05 Let’s say that the meeting hosts forgets to start the meeting on March 1st and then starts the meeting on March 2nd. It’s difficult to say which occurrence this belongs to. Is it 03/01 st…

Let me know if that helps.

Thanks,
Max
