Documented steps
Add recording_config.realtime_endpoints to the POST /bot body; each entry has type ('webhook' or 'websocket'), url, and an events array. These cannot be configured from the dashboard. Ref: https://docs.recall.ai/docs/real-time-webhook-endpoints
Webhook form: {"type": "webhook", "url": "https://your-app.com/api/webhook/recall", "events": ["transcript.data", "participant_events.join", "participant_events.leave"]} - the URL must be public HTTPS.
Websocket form: {"type": "websocket", "url": "wss://your-app.com/api/ws/audio", "events": ["audio_mixed_raw.data"]} - a continuous stream rather than discrete POSTs. Ref: https://docs.recall.ai/docs/real-time-websocket-endpoints
Transcript events: transcript.data for finalized utterances, transcript.partial_data for interim text, transcript.provider_data for the raw provider payload.
Websocket endpoints additionally support raw mixed/separate audio buffers and separate-participant video frames that plain webhooks cannot carry.
Authenticate deliveries either with the workspace secret HMAC headers (same `${msgId}.${msgTimestamp}.${payloadStr}` scheme as status webhooks) or by appending ?token=<your-secret> to the endpoint URL. Ref: https://docs.recall.ai/docs/authenticating-requests-from-recallai
Real-time webhook retries: up to 60 attempts at a 1-second interval; after that the endpoint is marked failed for the remainder of the call.
Real-time websocket retries: up to 30 reconnect attempts at a 3-second interval before the endpoint is marked failed.
Set realtime_endpoints at bot creation (or PATCH before the bot joins) - they cannot be added mid-call.
Known gotchas
realtime_endpoints live inside recording_config on the bot and are a completely separate system from dashboard-configured bot.status_change webhooks.
transcript.partial_data is interim and can change; only transcript.data is final - do not persist partials as the transcript.
Retry policies differ between webhook (60 x 1s) and websocket (30 x 3s), and once exhausted delivery stops for the rest of that meeting - build your own reconciliation from the post-call transcript artifact.
Token-in-URL auth needs the trailing slash before the query string or the parameter may not parse.
A slow real-time consumer effectively drops data, since retries are aggressive and short-lived; acknowledge fast and buffer downstream.
