This API request accepts usecaseIdentifier and inputSource as parameters. For usecaseIdenfier value is same that you passed in start recording and inputSource value is application. Also add the same request header parameter i.e Authorization, Content-Type and applicationIdentifer added to the start recording. Add View Result Tree listener.
