# Get a recording

GET https://api.synthflow.ai/v2/calls/{call_id}/recording

Redirect to a freshly signed, time-limited download URL for the call's audio recording.

The endpoint signs the stored recording at request time with a 24-hour expiry and responds with a `302` redirect to the signed URL in the `Location` header, so an HTTP client that follows redirects downloads the audio directly. Repeated requests for the same call within that window return the same signed URL. Request a new link when you need the audio instead of storing one.

This endpoint replaces the `recording_url` field returned by [Get a call](/api-reference/platform-api/calls/get-phone-call) and [List calls](/api-reference/platform-api/calls/list-calls). That field is deprecated and becomes unavailable on January 10, 2027. The [recordings migration guide](/recordings-migration-guide) covers how to switch.
