Hi team,
In regarding the latest recordingUrl and the upcoming changes that effect this,
email summary :
Subject: Action required: your Vapi account: recording URL access is changing on Jul 15, 2026
The key points:
Today: recordingUrl / stereoRecordingUrl in the end-of-call webhook are public, unauthenticated URLs
July 15, 2026: Those URLs become non-fetchable without auth — trying to play them directly will not work
July 25, 2026: Public URLs for all existing recordings stop working entirely
The new method VAPI prescribes doing:
GET
https://api.vapi.ai/call/{id}/mono-recording
Authorization: Bearer
"-redirects to a short-lived signed URL."
My question is around the "Short-lived" URL.
What is the life of the new URLs?
