The documentation for the GET `/api/recordings/<RECORDING_ID>` API endpoint shows the following status values… `"starting"` , `"started"` , `"stopped"` , `"available"` , `"failed"`.

But when using the endpoint I am getting a status value of “ready”. Does the documentation just need to be updated or am I misunderstanding?

Thanks.

You are totally right. REST API docs must be updated. The actual statuses of recording entities are these: [https://openvidu.io/api/openvidu-java-client/io/openvidu/java/client/Recording.Status.html](https://openvidu.io/api/openvidu-java-client/io/openvidu/java/client/Recording.Status.html)
