I’m trying to download cloud recording via API v2 (python)

1. Getting a list of user recordings

2.&nbsp; Parse download\_url for each recording

1. GET request to ‘download\_url’ with token

2. Get Empty response&nbsp; status code:401  
{  
“status”: false,  
“errorCode”: 401,  
“errorMessage”: null,  
“result”: null  
}

&nbsp;

Tried to use the same token or generate another one. Result stays the same

Hi&nbsp;NiNiSpeech,&nbsp;

Can you confirm with your admin, to check on their account settings page to check to see if the cloud recording option is enabled or not?&nbsp;
