Retrieve a Recording.
GET/Accounts/:AccountSid/Recordings/:Sid
Retrieve a single recording media or its metadata.
This endpoint supports two different access methods with different authentication requirements:
Public Access (No Authentication Required)​
Recording audio files can be accessed directly without authentication. This is useful for external applications to embed recording URLs without exposing SignalWire API credentials. SignalWire recording URLs are long and random, making them difficult to guess or exploit unless you reveal the URL.
Retrieve WAV file
When a recording URI has no extension or a .wav
extension, the request
will return a binary WAV version of the recording file.
GET https://example.signalwire.com/api/laml/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{Sid}
GET https://example.signalwire.com/api/laml/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.wav
Retrieve MP3 file
Setting an extension of ".mp3" on the URI returns a binary MP3 version of the recording. For example:
GET https://example.signalwire.com/api/laml/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.mp3
Authenticated Access (Voice Scope Required)​
Retrieve Metadata
A recording's metadata, such as duration, cost, time, can be returned by
setting the Recording URI's extension to .json
. This requires authentication
with a Voice-scoped API token.
GET https://example.signalwire.com/api/laml/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.json
Permissions​
The API token must include the following scopes: Voice. This permission is only required for authenticated requests to retrieve recording metadata (.json extension).
