Hello @eliasd ,
Thanks for contacting over Community Forum and thanks for your patience so far!
Unfortunately, we don't have any Webex Recording API to start or, create a Recording (or, vice versa) of a meeting and the only available list of MeetingRecording API is here - https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/recordings
The reason behind it is - Recording a meeting is such an incident which needs manual control. Because you might need to start the recording from the beginning of the meeting or, might be at a variable point of the meeting which is not fixed for sure.
Also, you might need to stop the recording as well at the middle of the meeting or, at a specific variable point which needs manual control once again.
So, recording is something which can't be fully automate and scripted.
And even in your case, since you want a Bot to do the recording, it would be not a very good idea since a Bot can't even join a meeting. So, the Bot can't take a full control of that meeting being outside of it.
Start the meeting recording using a Bot still could have been possible using Webhook - where Bot could read from Webhook whenever a meeting is getting started by a specific User and after 5 min of the meeting start (just leaving initial 5 min as introduction time of the meeting) - bot would start the recording of that meeting, but I think the process design wouldn't be so good and we can't proceed with that idea since we don't even have a create-a-recording API.
If you still think there should be one such API for Recording create, you can raise a Feature request in our AHA portal here - https://ciscocollabcustomer.ideas.aha.io/ and our Product team will review it further.

Sandip
