1. API Description

Domain name for API request: trtc.intl.tencentcloudapi.com.

This API is used to query the status of a recording task after it starts. It works only when a task is in progress. If the task has already ended when this API is called, an error will be returned.
If a recording file is being uploaded to VOD, the response parameter StorageFileList will not contain the information of the recording file. Please listen for the recording file callback to get the information.

A maximum of 20 requests can be initiated per second for this API.

We recommend you to use API Explorer
Try it
API Explorer provides a range of capabilities, including online call, signature authentication, SDK code generation, and API quick search. It enables you to view the request, response, and auto-generated examples.
