# Stop

Apart from stopping recording manually from inside the room UI, you as a integrator can stop it programmatically through the API by calling the **POST /rooms/:id/recordings/stop** endpoint.

The **id** uniquely identifies the room you want to stop recording inside.

#### Request

  --user YOUR_TEAM_ID:YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
import com.fasterxml.jackson.databind.ObjectMapper;

import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse.BodyHandlers;
import java.util.Base64;
import java.util.Map;

String TEAM_ID = "YOUR_TEAM_ID";
String DEVELOPER_KEY = "YOUR_DEVELOPER_KEY";
String authorizationHeader = "Bearer " + Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString((TEAM_ID + ":" + DEVELOPER_KEY).getBytes());
//Put your room id here - this value is just an example
String roomId = "c39d7c40-7ff7-4faa-b06f-698a639a9523";

HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
  .POST(BodyPublishers.noBody())
  .uri(new URI("https://api.digitalsamba.com/api/v1/rooms/" + roomId + "/recordings/stop"))
  .header("Authorization", authorizationHeader)
  .build();

HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();
HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request, BodyHandlers.ofString());

System.out.println("Status code: " + response.statusCode());
System.out.println("Body: " + response.body());
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

**Response (200 -> OK)**&#x20;

Response is empty because the recording was stopped and there is no content to return.
