# Record and replay live streams

Last updated Aug 24, 2026|Copy as Markdown|[View as Markdown](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/stream/stream-live/replay-recordings/index.md)|[Agent setup](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/agent-setup/)

Live streams are automatically recorded, and available instantly once a live stream ends. To get a list of recordings for a given input ID, make a [GET request to /live\_inputs/<UID>/videos](https://docs-durable-objects-instance-replaced-errors.previews.developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/stream/subresources/live%5Finputs/methods/get/) and filter for videos where `state` is set to `ready`:

```bash
curl -X GET \
-H "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
https://dash.cloudflare.com/api/v4/accounts/<ACCOUNT_ID>/stream/live_inputs/<LIVE_INPUT_UID>/videos
```
