Recording → Get Access Link
AI-generatedOverview
This node integrates with the Whereby video conferencing API to manage recordings. Specifically, the Get Access Link operation for the Recording resource retrieves a URL that provides access to a specific recording. This is useful when you want to share or embed a recording without exposing the full recording data or metadata.
Common scenarios include:
- Automatically fetching access links to recordings after meetings end.
- Sharing recording URLs with participants or external users via automated workflows.
- Embedding recording access links in emails, websites, or other communication channels.
Example: After a meeting finishes and its recording is processed, use this node to get the access link and send it via email to all attendees.

Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Whereby API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Whereby API endpoints.
- Proper configuration of the API key credential in n8n is necessary.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Recording ID: If the provided recording ID does not exist or is malformed, the API will return an error. Verify the recording ID is correct.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems may cause request failures; check network access to the Whereby API.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests might be throttled; consider adding delays or handling rate limit errors gracefully.
If the node throws an error message related to "access denied" or "not found," verify the recording ID and API credentials.
