Cloud Recording API callback service

Agora provides the Message Notification Service. You can set up an HTTP/HTTPS server to receive the event notifications of Agora Cloud Recording. When an event occurs, the Agora Cloud Recording service notifies the Message Notification Service, and then the Message Notification Service notifies your server of that event through an HTTP/HTTPS request.

Agora recommends that core apps should not rely on the Message Notification Service. If your apps already rely heavily on the Message Notification Service, Agora recommends that you contact support@agora.io to enable the redundant message notification function, which doubles the received notifications and reduces the probability of message loss. Redundant message notification still cannot guarantee a 100% arrival rate.

Callback information

After you enable the callback service, when a specified event occurs, the Agora notification center sends an HTTP/HTTPS request as a callback. The request body provides the main information of the callback in a JSON object. The JSON object contains different fields for different events.

The following is an example that shows the fields in the request body.

  • The fields in the red rectangle are the common fields of all the callback events. For details, see Notification callback format.
  • The fields in the blue rectangle are the common fields in payload of all the cloud recording events. For details, see Fields in payload.
  • The values of eventType, serviceType, and details depend on the event. For details, see Callback events.

Fields in payload

payload is a JSON object, which is the main body of the notification. payload in each type of event notification includes the following fields:

  • cname: String. The name of the channel to be recorded.
  • uid: String. The user ID of the recording client.
  • sid: String. The recording ID. The unique identifier of each recording.
  • sequence: Number. The serial number of the notifications, starting from 0. You can use this parameter to identify notifications that are random, lost, or resent.
  • sendts: Number. The time (UTC) when the event happens. Unix timestamp in ms.
  • serviceType: Number. The type of Agora service.
    • 0: The cloud recording service.
    • 1: The recorder module.
    • 2: The uploader module.
    • 4: The extension services.
    • 6: The web page recording module.
    • 8: The download module.
  • details: JSON. The details of the callback events are described as follows. The message notification service may add new fields in details in the future. To ensure backward compatibility, the service will not change the data format of existing fields.

33 uploading_progress

eventType 33 indicates the current upload progress. The Agora server notifies you of the upload progress once every minute after the recording starts. details includes the following fields:

  • msgName: String. The message name, uploading_progress.
  • progress: Number. An ever-increasing number between 0 and 10,000, equal to the ratio of the number of the uploaded files to the number of the recorded files multiplied by 10,000. After the recording service exits and when the number reaches 10,000, the upload completes.

40 recorder_started

eventType 40 indicates that the recording service starts, and details includes the following fields:

  • msgName: String. The message name, recorder_started.
  • status: Number. The event status. 0 indicates normal status; other values indicate abnormal status.

41 recorder_leave

eventType 41 indicates that the recorder leaves the channel, and details includes the following fields:

  • msgName: String. The message name, recorder_leave.
  • leaveCode: Number. The leave code. You can perform a bitwise AND operation on the code and each enum value, and those with non-zero results are the reason for the exit. For example, if you perform a bit-by-bit AND operation on code 6 (binary 110) and each enum value, only LEAVE_CODE_SIG (binary 10) and LEAVE_CODE_NO_USERS (binary 100) get a non-zero result. The reasons for exiting, in this case, include a timeout and a signal triggering the exit.
    Enumerator
    LEAVE_CODE_INIT0: The initialization fails.
    LEAVE_CODE_SIG2 (binary 10): The AgoraCoreService process receives the SIGINT signal.
    LEAVE_CODE_NO_USERS4 (binary 100): The recording server automatically leaves the channel and stops recording because the channel has no user.
    LEAVE_CODE_TIMER_CATCH8 (binary 1000): Ignore it.
    LEAVE_CODE_CLIENT_LEAVE16 (binary 10000): The recording server calls the leaveChannel method to leave the channel.

42 recorder_slice_start

eventType 42 indicates that the recording service syncs the information of the recorded files, and details includes the following fields:

  • msgName: String. The message name, recorder_slice_start.
  • startUtcMs:Number. The time (ms) in UTC when the recording starts (the starting time of the first slice file).
  • discontinueUtcMs:Number. In most cases, this field is the same as startUtcMs. When the recording is interrupted, the Agora Cloud Recording service automatically resumes the recording and triggers this event. In this case, the value of this field is the time (ms) in UTC when the last slice file stops.
  • mixedAllUser: Boolean. Whether the audio and video of all users are mixed into a single file.
    • true: All users are recorded in a single file.
    • false: Each user is recorded separately.
  • streamUid: String. User ID. The user whose audio or video is recorded in the file. In composite mode, streamUid is 0.
  • trackType: String. Type of the recorded file.
    • "audio": Audio file.
    • "video": Video file (no audio).
    • "audio_and_video": Video file (with audio).

For example, you start a recording session and get this event notification in which startUtcMs is the starting time of slice file 1. Then, the recording session continues and records slice file 2 to slice file N, during which the recording service does not send this notification again. If an error occurs when recording slice file N + 1, you lose this file and the recording session stops. Agora Cloud Recording automatically resumes the recording and triggers this event again. In the event notification, startUtcMs is the time when slice file N + 2 starts, and discontinueUtcMs is the time when slice file N stops.

43 recorder_audio_stream_state_changed

eventType 43 indicates that the state of the audio stream has changed, and details includes the following fields:

  • msgName: String. The message name, recorder_audio_stream_state_changed.

44 recorder_video_stream_state_changed

eventType 44 indicates that the state of the video stream has changed, and details includes the following fields:

  • msgName: String. The message name, recorder_video_stream_state_changed.

  • state: Number. Whether Agora Cloud Recording is receiving the video stream.
    • 0: Agora Cloud Recording is receiving the video stream.
    • 1: Agora Cloud Recording is not receiving the video stream.
