Hello,

I need to download the full transcription text of a meeting via the API.

I do not use Cloud Recording.

I’m able to retrieve the summary using the endpoint /v2/meetings/(UUID)/meeting\_summary. However, I require the complete transcript text, which is accessible through the GUI at /user/meeting/transcript.

Is there a way to obtain the full transcript text, rather than just the summary, through the API?

Thank you!

Hi @anek777  
Thanks for reaching out to us and welcome to our Zoom Developer forum!  
Right now, the only way to get the complete transcript via API is using the Get meeting recording endpoint

Thanks for answer!

But Get meeting recording endpoint works only if cloud recording enabled, right?

Is this still true? Zoom recently launched the feature to transcribe meetings from Google Meets and Zoom without recording, how can I access those?
