# ⚡️ zoom-recording-downloader ⚡️
## ☁️ Now with Google Drive support ☁️
[](https://www.python.org/) [](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ricardorodrigues-ca/zoom-recording-downloader/master/LICENSE)
**Zoom Recording Downloader** is a cross-platform Python app that utilizes Zoom's API (v2) to download and organize all cloud recordings from a Zoom Business account to local storage or Google Drive.
## Screenshot ##
## Installation ##
_Attention: You will need [Python 3.11](https://www.python.org/downloads/) or greater_
```sh
$ git clone https://github.com/ricardorodrigues-ca/zoom-recording-downloader
$ cd zoom-recording-downloader
$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
```
## Usage ##
_Attention: You will need a [Zoom Developer account](https://marketplace.zoom.us/) in order to create a [Server-to-Server OAuth app](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/internal-apps) with the required credentials_
1. Create a [server-to-server OAuth app](https://marketplace.zoom.us/user/build), set up your app and collect your credentials (`Account ID`, `Client ID`, `Client Secret`). For questions on this, [reference the docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/internal-apps/create/) on creating a server-to-server app. Make sure you activate the app. Follow Zoom's [set up documentation](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/server-to-server-oauth-app/) or [this video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkBE7CHVzho) for a more complete walk through.
2. Add the necessary scopes to your app. In your app's _Scopes_ tab, add the following scopes:
> `cloud_recording:read:list_user_recordings:admin`, `user:read:user:admin`, `user:read:list_users:admin`.
3. Copy **zoom-recording-downloader.conf.template** to a new file named **zoom-recording-downloader.conf** and fill in your Server-to-Server OAuth app credentials:
```
{
"OAuth": {
"account_id": "",
"client_id": "",
"client_secret": ""
}
}
```
4. You can optionally add other options to the configuration file:
- Specify the base **download_dir** under which the recordings will be downloaded (default is 'downloads')
- Specify the **completed_log** log file that will store the ID's of downloaded recordings (default is 'completed-downloads.log')
```
{
"Storage": {
"download_dir": "downloads",
"completed_log": "completed-downloads.log"
}
}
```
- Specify the **start_date** from which to start downloading meetings (default is Jan 1 of this year)
- Specify the **end_date** at which to stop downloading meetings (default is today)
- Dates are specified as YYYY-MM-DD
```
{
"Recordings": {
"start_date": "2024-01-01",
"end_date": "2024-12-31"
}
}
```
- If you don't specify the **start_date** you can specify the year, month, and day seperately
- Specify the day of the month to start as **start_day** (default is 1)
- Specify the month to start as **start_month** (default is 1)
- Specify the year to start as **start_year** (default is this year)
```
{
"Recordings": {
"start_year": "2024",
"start_month": "1",
"start_day": "1"
}
}
```
- Specify the timezone for the saved meeting times saved in the filenames (default is 'UTC')
- You can use any timezone supported by [ZoneInfo](https://docs.python.org/3/library/zoneinfo.html)
- Specify the time format for the saved meeting times in the filenames (default is '%Y.%m.%d - %I.%M %p UTC')
- You can use any of the [strftime format codes](https://docs.python.org/3/library/datetime.html#strftime-and-strptime-format-codes) supported by datetime
```
{
"Recordings": {
"timezone": "America/New_York",
"strftime": "%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M%z"
}
}
```
- Specify the format for the filenames of saved meetings (default is '{meeting_time} - {topic} - {rec_type} - {recording_id}.{file_extension}')
- Specify the format for the folder name (under the download folder) for saved meetings (default is '{topic} - {meeting_time}')
```
{
"Recordings": {
"filename": "{meeting_time}-{topic}-{rec_type}-{recording_id}.{file_extension}",
"folder": "{year}/{month}/{meeting_time}-{topic}"
}
}
```
For the previous formats you can use the following values
- **{file_extension}** is the lowercase version of the file extension
- **{meeting_time}** is the time in the format of **strftime** and **timezone**
- **{day}** is the day from **meeting_time**
- **{month}** is the month from **meeting_time**
- **{year}** is the year from **meeting_time**
- **{recording_id}** is the recording id from zoom
- **{rec_type}** is the type of the recording
- **{topic}** is the title of the zoom meeting
## Google Drive Setup (Optional) ##
To enable Google Drive upload support:
1. Create a Google Cloud Project:
- Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com)
- Create a new project or select an existing one
- Enable the Google Drive API for your project ([Click to enable ↗](https://console.cloud.google.com/flows/enableapi?apiid=drive.googleapis.com))
2. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials:
- In Cloud Console, go to "APIs & Services" > "Credentials"
- Click "Create Credentials" > "OAuth client ID"
- Choose "Desktop application" as the application type
- Give it a name (e.g., "Zoom Recording Downloader")
- Download the JSON file and save as `client_secrets.json` in the script directory
3. Configure OAuth consent screen:
- Go to "OAuth consent screen"
- Select "External" user type
- Set application name to "Zoom Recording Downloader"
- Add required scopes:
- https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.file
- https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.metadata
- https://www.googleapis.com/auth/drive.appdata
4. Update your config:
```json
{
"GoogleDrive": {
"client_secrets_file": "client_secrets.json",
"token_file": "token.json",
"root_folder_name": "zoom-recording-downloader",
"retry_delay": 5,
"max_retries": 3,
"failed_log": "failed-uploads.log"
}
}
```
**Important:** Keep your OAuth credentials file secure and never commit it to version control.
Consider adding `client_secrets.json` to your .gitignore file.
Note: When you first run the script with Google Drive enabled, it will open your default browser for authentication. After authorizing the application, the token will be saved locally and reused for future runs.
5. Run command:
```sh
$ python zoom-recording-downloader.py
```
When prompted, choose your preferred storage method:
1. Local Storage - Saves recordings to your local machine
2. Google Drive - Uploads recordings to your Google Drive account
Note: For Google Drive uploads, files are temporarily downloaded to local storage before being uploaded, then automatically deleted after successful upload.
