Question

How are the archive files stored in our S3 bucket?

Applies To

• Vonage Video API
• Archive 
• S3 storage

Answer

All archives are saved to a subdirectory of your S3 bucket with your Vonage Video API key as its name, and each archive is saved to a subdirectory with the archive ID as its name. The name of the archive file is archive.mp4 (for a composed archive) or archive.zip (for an individual stream archive). 

For example, consider an archive with the following API key and ID:

• API key 123456
• Archive ID ab0baa3d-2539-43a6-be42-b41ff1488af3

The file for this archive is uploaded to the following directory in your S3 bucket.

123456/ab0baa3d-2539-43a6-be42-b41ff1488af3/archive.mp4
