Agora Unable to Start Cloud Recording

Question

        options1 = {
            'method': 'POST',
            'url': 'https://api.agora.io/v1/apps/' + appID + '/cloud_recording/resourceid/' + resourceId + '/mode/2/start',

              })

        };

        request(options1, function (error, response, body) {
            if (error) throw new Error(error);
            console.log(response.statusCode);

I referred to the Agora's Cloud Recording API. Authentication and resourceId work fine. The response.statusCode is always 404. Unable to locate the error. I tested on Postman and the URL is not working as well. May I know if any attributes are entered wrongly? Does the user have to join the channel before the recording can start?

Answer 1

In your url, you have specified mode/2/start. It should be mode/mix/start.

You can refer the documentation here for more information: https://docs.agora.io/en/cloud-recording/cloud_recording_api_rest?platform=All%20Platforms#parameters-1
