The Twilio Recording Settings REST API lets you configure Twilio to store your recordings encrypted. Recording Settings work per-account (i.e. project). If you activate encryption, all Video Recordings in your account (or project) will get encrypted.
This document contains reference information about the Recording Settings REST API for encryption. For a step-by-step guide you can also read the Encrypting your Stored Media developer guide
These are the URI schemes for the Recording Settings REST API and the supported methods:
/v1/RecordingSettings/Default
GET: Retrieves current Recording Settings.POST: Updates the Recording Settings.The Default RecordingSettings resource holds the default recording settings
for the given Twilio account (or project). Its configuration will be applied to
all Recordings created in such account (or project).
The Recording Settings default resource is located at the following Base URL:
1https://video.twilio.com/v1/RecordingSettings/Default2
A RecordingSettings resource has the following properties:
The SID of the Account that created the RecordingSettings resource.
^AC[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The string that you assigned to describe the resource and show the user in the console
The SID of the stored Credential resource.
^CR[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34The URL of the AWS S3 bucket where the recordings are stored. We only support DNS-compliant URLs like https://documentation-example-twilio-bucket/recordings, where recordings is the path in which you want the recordings to be stored. This URL accepts only URI-valid characters, as described in the RFC 3986.
Whether all recordings are written to the aws_s3_url. When false, all recordings are stored in our cloud.
The SID of the Public Key resource used for encryption.
^CR[0-9a-fA-F]{32}$Min length: 34Max length: 34Whether all recordings are stored in an encrypted form. The default is false.
