# Get an ended X Space's replay as an HLS playback URL

`GET /x/spaces/{id}/replay`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://xquik.com/api/v1`
- URL: `https://xquik.com/api/v1/x/spaces/{id}/replay`
- Auth: one of:
  - API key in header `x-api-key`
  - HTTP bearer
  - none

Returns the recording X plays back once a Space is over, in state Ended or TimedOut. Accepts the Space ID or the URL-encoded Space URL. Check state and isAvailableForReplay with the Space lookup first. A live or scheduled Space answers 409, and a cancelled one 404.

## Path parameters

- `id` string, required

## Query parameters

- `fields` string
- `omit` string

## Response `200`

Space replay

- object
  - `replay` object, required: Recording of an ended Space
    - `url` string, uri, required: HLS playlist of the recording
    - `streamType` string: Stream format, as X names it
    - `status` string: Stream status, as X names it

## Other responses

- `400`: Invalid input. A value past its maxLength gets this answer, & the message names the field & its limit.
- `401`: Unauthenticated
- `402`: Payment required. MPP reads include `WWW-Authenticate`. Authenticated reads include balances, plus checkout when the key can open it. A key that reads only gets the account page instead. A failed request never creates checkout. A caller on a plan gets top-up only, plus `credits_renew_at` when the plan renews. Guest keys offer top-up.
- `404`: Unknown Space, a Space without a recording, or a cancelled Space
- `409`: The Space has not ended
- `424`: Dependency unavailable, unauthorized, or limited. Default v1 uses 502. Best-practice responses use 424 for transparent dependency failures. Search answers 424 `search_unavailable` when X fails the query itself, or when its filters matched none of the last 3,000 posts read. The message says how far back the search read.
- `429`: Too many requests right now. Each user gets 500 reads a second. Each minute allows 120 writes & 60 deletes. `x_api_rate_limited` means X limits this read for now. Neither answer costs anything. Wait for the seconds in `Retry-After`, then retry.
- `502`: Dependency unavailable, unauthorized, or limited. Default v1 uses 502. Best-practice responses use 424 for transparent dependency failures. Search answers 424 `search_unavailable` when X fails the query itself, or when its filters matched none of the last 3,000 posts read. The message says how far back the search read.
- `503`: Retry x_api_unavailable after Retry-After. With X-Xquik-Busy, retry until your deadline.
