**Description**  
Hi team, wanna ask you regarding this Zoom Meeting API: [Zoom Meeting API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/recordingGet)  
Is this a synchronized API? especially the field “recording\_count” i.e. The moment the meeting ends, the recording count will be populated accurately? Cuz the recordings themselves can take a long time to be available in Cloud.  
If not, do we have any idea when the recording count be populated? within several mins or the moment recordings are available in Could?  
Thanks.

@mtz Hope you will be fine.

It sounds like you’re setting up real-time synchronisation for Zoom meetings and recordings. The `recording.completed` webhook is indeed a key event for handling when a recording is completed and proceed. This webhook will notify your application once a Zoom cloud recording is processed and available for access.

If you have any specific queries or need further assistance with integrating this webhook or managing the recorded data, feel free to ask!

Hi @freelancer.nak , thanks for sharing the information. We are evaluating the  
Zoom Meeting API integration with our app and in our use case, we only care about data of meetings that have been recorded so I think we can leverage on this Zoom Meeting API: recordingGet and the `recording_count` field to know whether a meeting has been recorded or not.  
Does the `recording_count` field be available after `meeting.ended` or `recording .completed` webhook?  
Thank you

@mtz

You have **recording\_count** when **recording.completed** is triggered.
