Only one recording is associated with a given meeting therefore CloudRecordings.GetRecordingsAsync should be singular

[flydart]

When I use CloudRecordings.GetRecordingsAsync, I'm getting back only one recording instead of the list of recordings as the name suggests.

For the only recording returning, there is ShareUrl, but there's no passcode to access the recording.

How is everything getting a list of all recordings for a given recurring meeting?

You're right, GetRecordingsAsync currently returns a single recording. It should return a paginated response if Zoom supports pagination for this API call or an array of Recordings if pagination is not supported. I'll fix that.

As for the passcode: either I completely missed this when I wrote the CloudRecordings resource or this information was added to the API response relatively recently and ZoomNet simply needs to be adjusted accordingly. Either way, I'll look into adding it to the Recording model class.

By the way, a little while ago I applied to become a Zoom ISV partner in order to get access to Zoom's entire API and therefore be in a better position to continue improving ZoomNet but haven't heard back. If you know anybody at Zoom who can influence their decision to accept my application, please put in a good word for me. Thanks!

I researched this situation a little bit more and what I originally said is not correct. There is only a single recording for a given meeting and therefore it makes perfect sense for GetRecordingsAsync to return a single Recording object. There can be multiple files associated with the recording and the ZoomNet recording class has a RecordingFiles property to give you access to each of these files.

Having said that, I realize that the name of the method leads to confusion. The fact that GetRecordings is plural can certainly lead a reasonable person to conclude that multiple recordings can be associated with a given meeting, which is not the case. So, I propose renaming the method to remove the confusion: GetRecordingAsync.

Also I discovered that passcode is not the only missing property (for instance, we are also missing an array of audio files) so I will raise a separate issue.

As if this wasn't confusing enough, the Zoom API documentation uses "recordings" and "recording files" interchangeably.

In an effort to dispel confusion, I will be renaming the following methods on the CloudRecordings resource:

• To make it clear that we are retrieving information about a meeting recording (which includes recording files and audio files)

  • GetRecordingsAsync renamed to GetRecordingInformationAsync

• To make it clear that the following methods affects recording files

  • DeleteRecordingsAsync renamed to DeleteRecordingFilesAsync
  • DeleteRecordingAsync renamed to DeleteRecordingFileAsync
  • RecoverRecordingsAsync renamed to RecoverRecordingFilesAsync
  • RecoverRecordingAsync renamed to RecoverRecordingFileAsync

@flydart I published a pre-release version on my MyGet feed. Let me know if you can try it out and if you find the method names less confusion. Also, you should be able to access the missing "password" property.
