Downloading recordings with publicLinkAllowed = false

Hi!


I'm currently using Collaborate Ultra API (https://docs.blackboard.com/collaborate/api) to access some recordings programatically, using the /recording/{id}/data method, which is actually not listed in the official API specification.

Some of the recordings have the "publicLinkAllowed" parameter set to false, thus being unable to access them with the /data method.

There is also another method called /data/secure which is also not listed on the API specifications and we thought by using it maybe we can retrieve recordings that don't have a public link enabled.

Unfortunately, we are getting an "unauthorized" error.

For all the other published methods the generated token for authentication is working correctly, not for this method though.


The official documentation is not complete on these two methods.

Does anyone have any leads?


(I'd rather avoid changing the publicLinkAllowed parameter to true).


Thanks,
