Implementation

Step 1: Create a bot

Mixed video is enabled by default, so there are no additional parameters needed in your request.

curl --request POST \
     --url https://us-east-1.recall.ai/api/v1/bot \
     --header 'accept: application/json' \
     --header 'content-type: application/json' \
     --header 'authorization: YOUR_RECALL_API_KEY' \
     --data '
{
  "meeting_url": "YOUR_MEETING_URL"
}
'


const response = await fetch("https://us-east-1.recall.ai/api/v1/bot", {
  method: "POST",
  headers: {
    "accept": "application/json",
    "content-type": "application/json"
    "authorization": "YOUR_RECALL_API_KEY" // Update this
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    meeting_url: "YOUR_MEETING_URL", // Update this
    recording_config: {
      video_mixed_layout: "gallery_view_v2", // Add this to your request body
      video_separate_mp4: {} # Add this to your request body
    }
  })
});

if (!response.ok) {
  throw new Error(`Error: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`);
}

const data = await response.json();


import requests

response = requests.post(
    "https://us-east-1.recall.ai/api/v1/bot",
    json={
      "meeting_url": "YOUR_MEETING_URL", # Update this
      "recording_config": {
	      "video_mixed_layout": "gallery_view_v2" # Add this to your request body
		    "video_separate_mp4": {} # Add this to your request body
      }
    },
    headers={
      "accept": "application/json",
      "content-type": "application/json",
    	"authorization": "YOUR_RECALL_API_KEY" # Update this
    }
)

if not response.ok:
 	errorMessage = f"Error: {response.status_code} - {response.text}"
  raise requests.RequestException(errorMessage)
  
result = response.json()

Step 2: Retrieve the recording

Once the call has ended, you can retrieve its recording with the Retrieve Bot API endpoint.

curl --request GET \
     --url https://us-east-1.recall.ai/api/v1/bot/YOUR_RECALL_BOT_ID/ \
     --header 'Authorization: YOUR_RECALL_API_KEY' \
     --header 'accept: application/json'
     

const recall_bot_id = 'YOUR_RECALL_BOT_ID' // Update this
const recall_api_key = 'YOUR_RECALL_API_KEY' // Update this

const get_recall_bot = async (args: { recall_bot_id: string, recall_api_key: string }) => {
    const { recall_bot_id } = args
    const bot_response = await fetch(`https://us-east-1.recall.ai/api/v1/bot/${recall_bot_id}`, {
        method: "GET",
        headers: {
            "accept": "application/json",
            "content-type": "application/json",
            "authorization": recall_api_key
        }
    });

    if (!bot_response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`Error: ${bot_response.status} ${bot_response.statusText}`);
    }

    return await bot_response.json();
}

const recall_bot = await get_recall_bot({ recall_bot_id, recall_api_key });


import requests

recall_bot_id = 'YOUR_RECALL_BOT_ID'  # Update this
recall_api_key = 'YOUR_RECALL_API_KEY'  # Update this

def get_recall_bot(args: dict):
    recall_bot_id = args.get("recall_bot_id")
    recall_api_key = args.get("recall_api_key")
    
    url = f"https://us-east-1.recall.ai/api/v1/bot/{recall_bot_id}"
    headers = {
        "accept": "application/json",
        "content-type": "application/json",
        "authorization": recall_api_key
    }
    
    response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    
    if not response.ok:
        raise Exception(f"Error: {response.status_code} {response.reason}")
    
    return response.json()

recall_bot = get_recall_bot({"recall_bot_id": recall_bot_id, "recall_api_key": recall_api_key})

The bot will have an array of recordings in the bot.recording field as defined in the Retrieve Bot 200 response.

The mp4 recording itself is located in the video_mixed object in the media_shortcuts field of the recording object. In the data field, you'll see a download_url. You can download this recording or use the download_url as the source for an HTML video element in your application's UI. For detailed implementation examples and best practices, see our Video Playback Guide.
