According to zooms api documentation, i should be able to get recordings from as far back as 6 months. However when i make an api request for data more than a month old, it always returns data for exactly one month. Is this a bug? Attached is a screen shot.

Hey @speakwrite,

Please also pass in the to query parameter and make sure it is within one month of the from parameter.

`?from=2020-06-01&to=2020-07-01`

Thanks,  
Tommy

Hey @speakwrite,

You can go back further than one month, but the `to` and `from` query parameters have to be a one month range. Checkout my post here:

> Hey @lane, It appears that endpoint only returns data in one month increments. In order to return all the data from the past 6 months you will need to make the requests in the following ways: [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/recordings?to=2020-03-19&from=2020-02-19](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/recordings?to=2020-03-19&from=2020-02-19)[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/recordings?to=2020-02-19&from=2020-01-19](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/recordings?to=2020-02-19&from=2020-01-19)[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/recordings?to=2020-01-19&from=2019-12-19](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/recordings?to=2020-01-19&from=2019-12-19) And so on… Let me know if that works! Thanks, Tommy
