Hi!

Sorry if I’m posting at the wrong place.

I wanted to know if there is a way to use any API just to check if a zoom recording is password protected. I have hundreds of new zoom recordings every week and checking them one by one is extremely time-consuming.

thanks a lot!

Adriano

@adriano.silvestre I Hope you will be fine.

Yes, you can by using Zoom Cloud Recording REST API.

Here is the session

→ [Zoom Cloud Recording Settings - (REST API)](https://youtu.be/9r2AJJBSrjk)

You need to build a get request to ` /meetings/{meetingId}/recordings/settings` and in the response if `on_demand:true` ← and → `password is not empty` then the recording is password protected.

Hello again,

Would it be possible as well to change a recording password via API? I would like to remove the password of all recordings fed to the API.

Thank you!
