Using API to download recorded meeting files

[rbobbsemple]

Hello all,

I am looking to see if I am doing the right thing. I am trying to download recorded meeting files from people within my company, so we could have them all in one place. Is this the correct target URL (playback recorded events) hubspot.webex.com/hubspot/m.php?AT=PR when I use this URL with the parameters hubspot.webex.com/hubspot/m.php?AT=PR&AE=acarpenter@hubspot.com&FN=Adam&LN=Carpenter all I see is a blank page? Will I need a different target URL? Are these the wrong parameters? Is there an easier API where I could download them in bulk?

Thank you,

Rizel

Hello, This guide is the way to go for this issue. https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/guides/access-meeting-resources-guide

I want REST API to download recorded meeting files.

A rest API is not available currently, however the web services NBR API for Meetings recording management/access is available which shouldn't be too difficult to use (SOAP based.)

Hi Rizel,

I have built a PHP package for NBR API. Please visit this URL for more information GitHub - rsathishtechit/webex: PHP WebEx package for XML and NBR API's

Hope it helps.

If you're amenable to using the Webex REST API, it's pretty easy to list/retrieve recordings: https://developer.webex.com/docs/api/v1/recordings

The URL API is not designed for programatic downloading, its designed for end user consumption with a web browser.

For Recordings we have the NBR WebServices API.

This is exactly right - we can currently programmatically download recordings ONLY via the SOAP based NBR webservices (XML) api. However, as far as I see, this is being retired starting Jul 2023 without any rest api equivalent (crucially the download url accessible from the rest api does not allow programmatic download, even by admins). Is there any solution / workaround for admins to programmatically download recordings once the NBR api is disabled??

[dstaudt · Accepted solution]

The recording details resource does include direct, temporary download URLs designed for programmatic access:

@dstaudt : Will this API work for TrainingCenter Type as well?

It does not seem to be working for the recordings that we are trying, We want to ensure if we are passing  the right payload

Thank you for sharing this: I take it all back! I must have missed this when testing the rest api previously, apologies... Confirmed working perfectly for programmatic download (and happy to see rest support for this over the previous NBR api)... Appreciated!
