Play_url and share_url values from API don't match links from the Zoom Web UI

API Endpoint(s) and/or Zoom API Event(s)
v2/users/me/recordings

Description
the share_url and play_url values that I receive for past recordings from the Meetings API doesn’t match the /rec/play/x or /rec/share/y URLs we get in the Zoom Web UI. I’m trying to back up all our old recording files and want a way to match up old links with where I’m putting the archived files. But since the share_url and play_url values I’m getting from the API don’t match the links that my users have already shared … these hundreds/thousands of existing links won’t be translatable.

Is there any way to get the same URLs that are used in the Web UI from the API?

Error?
Specific example:

from the API: https://x.zoom.us/rec/play/N4B52Xd_sVqbXSycTZaBKPsy3stLqcC1ewD0NDgSI-2k5o3uA3uowP-ogNsihjE6DbHy9zIXuzc41JfE.REoIHtiHJp5YURgX

from the web UI: https://x.zoom.us/rec/play/EhEvvFnenqt4ZMwAy3i0W7YeNz3Mt5MNi9uWq67wCMyH7i3Fwv--Mo4DzVtu5j-lzId0_2KppODuYfiU.KsnMiX0LUtML41hX?autoplay=true

(These URLs both go to the same recording file, and obviously don’t match even after removing the “?autoplay=true” string)

How To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a recording from Zoom Admin → Account Management → Recording Management
  2. Get the details about the same recording from the Zoom Meetings API → List all Recordings endpoint
  3. Compare the play URLs … in my case they’re not matching

Urgency because our Cloud Recording is scheduled to be disabled tomorrow

for context, basically I made a big spreadsheet with a row for each meeting and each recording file, including the play/share URL … however these all have different IDs from the URLs I get when opening the same videos in the Web UI…

I was expecting the play_url from the API to match the links that my users have been sharing.
This is foiling my big plan to create a self-service “link translator” tool for them
