Recording
For Customers building HIPAA-compliant workflows with Recordings, we require customers to enforce at least HTTP Authentication. To learn more about building for HIPAA compliance, please visit the latest requirements here.
A Recording resource represents the recording associated with a voice call, conference, or SIP Trunk. Using the Recordings REST API you can fetch, start, stop, pause, resume, and delete voice recordings.
You can initiate a recording for your call, conference, or trunk via one of the following methods.
- TwiML中の<Record>
- TwiML中の<Dial record>
- TwiML中の<Conference record>
- Record=true in an outbound call via the REST API
- Enable recording on an elastic SIP Trunk in the Twilio Console
- Post to Recording resource of an in-progress Call SID
Once a recording is initiated, you can optionally pause, resume, or stop the recording

Fetch a Recording resource
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.json
Because the URLs that host individual recordings are useful for many external applications, they are public and do not require HTTP Basic Auth to access. This allows you to embed the recording URL in a web application without revealing your Twilio API credentials.
Twilio's recording URLs are quite long and difficult to guess, so the contents of the recordings should be reasonably private unless you distribute the URL. For added security, you can enforce HTTP basic auth to access media using your AccountSid and Authentication token via the voice settings page in the console.
パラメーター
| Parameters in REST API format | |
|---|---|
account_sid
Path
|
The SID of the Account that created the Recording resource to fetch. |
sid
Path
|
The Twilio-provided string that uniquely identifies the Recording resource to fetch. |
include_soft_deleted
オプション
|
A boolean parameter indicating whether to retrieve soft deleted recordings or not. Recordings metadata are kept after deletion for a retention period of 40 days. |
Fetch recording metadata
Recordings Resource Metadata can be returned in either json or xml by appending the either the '.json' or 'xml' suffix to the URI.
Fetch a recording media file
It’s only possible to fetch a recording media file when recording has status “completed” and the media is stored at Twilio. If the media associated with the recording resource is not available, is deleted or was uploaded to external storage, the request returns Not Found.
WAV
拡張子なし、または「.wav」の場合は、MIME-Type が「audio/x-wav」のバイナリ WAV 音声ファイルを返します。 たとえば、次のようになります。
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXX.../Recordings/RE557ce644e5ab84fa21cc21112e22c485
WAV files have a bitrate of 128kbps
MP3
URI に「.mp3」をつけると、MIME-Type が「audio/mpeg」 のバイナリ MP3 音声ファイルを返します。 たとえば、次のようになります。
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXX.../Recordings/RE557ce644e5ab84fa21cc21112e22c485.mp3
MP3 files have a bitrate of 32kbps
Download dual-channel media file
Call recordings are stored at Twilio in dual-channel by default. The media file associated with the recording resource of a two-party call has two channels and contains the audio from each call leg in a separate channel. The requestedChannels query parameter can be used to specify whether the file should be downmixed to a single channel or if the file should be downloaded in its original, dual-channel format.
For backward compatibility, if the requestedChannels query parameter is not specified, the downloaded file's format will be the format that was specified when the recording was created.
For voice recordings in which dual-channel is not supported, like those created with <Conference> or <Record>, all audio from a recording will be saved in a single channel file. If a dual-channel recording is explicitly requested for download in these instances, the response will be Not Found.
Example: Download MP3 media in dual-channel format
Append .mp3?requestedChannels=2 to your Recording's URL
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXX.../Recordings/RE557ce644e5ab84fa21cc21112e22c485.mp3?requestedChannels=2Example: Download WAV media in dual-channel format
Append .wav?requestedChannels=2 to your Recording's URL
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/ACXXXXX.../Recordings/RE557ce644e5ab84fa21cc21112e22c485.wav?requestedChannels=2Fetch a Recording's Transcriptions
Each Recording instance resource has a Transcriptions subresource which represents the set of transcriptions generated from the recording (if any):
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{RecordingSid}/Transcriptions
This will return the set of transcriptions available for the recording identified by {RecordingSid}. See the Transcriptions resource documentation for properties and response formats.
Read multiple Recording Resources
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings.json
This API call returns a list of Recordings, each representing a recording generated during a call or conference for the given account. The list returned includes paging information.
The list of Recordings is protected by your account credentials like most parts of this API. You must use HTTP basic auth to access the Recordings list resource.
You can also get a list of Recordings from a specific call or conference by including the call or conference SID in your request like so:
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls/{CallSid}/Recordings.json
GET https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Conferences/{ConferenceSid}/Recordings.json

サンプル
Update a Recording resource
POST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Calls/{CallSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.json
POST https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Conferences/{ConferenceSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.json
An active call or conference recording can be paused and resumed. Additionally, an active call recording can be stopped which will end the recording immediately. (stopped not supported for conference recordings)
パラメーター
| Parameters in REST API format | |
|---|---|
account_sid
Path
|
The SID of the Account that created the Recording resource to update. |
call_sid
Path
|
The Call SID of the resource to update. |
sid
Path
|
The Twilio-provided string that uniquely identifies the Recording resource to update. |
status
必須
|
The new status of the recording. Can be: |
pause_behavior
オプション
|
Whether to record during a pause. Can be: |
例：
Note in examples below that the API responses for updates to the recording resource will provide a more detailed inflight 'status' including paused, in-progress, or stopped but a fetch on the recording resource will only show processing or completed.
In the following two examples, note the use of Twilio.CURRENT to reference the currently active recording without requiring an explicit Recording SID.
Twilio.CURRENT can be used for pause, resume, or stop actions on calls with only one active recording.
Note that if your use case has multiple or concurrent recordings for a call or conference, you will need to use the Recording SID to reference the correct one. Using Twilio.CURRENT to reference a recording on a resource that has multiple recordings will result in an error that the request failed because there is more than one recording for the given Call.
Delete a Recording resource
DELETE https://api.twilio.com/2010-04-01/Accounts/{AccountSid}/Recordings/{Sid}.json
Deletes a recording from your account. Once the recording is deleted:
- You will no longer be billed for storage of those minutes
- The recording is set to a status of
deleted - The metadata is preserved for a period of 40 days, during which time the metadata is still visible in the Console and API.
- The recording media cannot be recovered.
If successful, DELETE returns HTTP 204 (No Content) with no body.
Please note that only completed recordings can be deleted. Recordings with any other status are not available for deletion.
| Parameters in REST API format | |
|---|---|
account_sid
Path
|
The SID of the Account that created the Recording resources to delete. |
sid
Path
|
The Twilio-provided string that uniquely identifies the Recording resource to delete. |
To to delete a large set of Voice Recordings, you can use the bulk deletion capabilities available in the Twilio Console.
