Hey @ahmedraafat200,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Just to clarify, you’re using the same JWT token for both requests and only the recurring meeting request fails? Do you ever see an error message other than the null message that you provided? Are you able to create meetings for your own user?

Thanks,
Max

we generate new JWT for every request, and every request working as intended even if you tried to create instant meeting through the api it works perfectly

and we are working with the same api requests for the last 8 months, and it was working just fine
and suddenly now we can’t create scheduled meeting through api

Hey @ahmedraafat200,

Thank you for the update. One thing I’m seeing is that there isn’t a repeat_interval in the recurrence section. From what I understand, the repeat_interval property is required when you choose a recurrence type of 2. Please test including the property and let me know if that resolves your issues.

Thanks,
Max

Hey @ahmedraafat200,

Thank you for your patience. As an update, I’ve also reached out to our engineering team in regard to this issue. As soon as I have more information from them I’ll update you. In the meantime, please test if the aforementioned change resolves your issue. (ZOOM-230964)

Hey @ahmedraafat200,

For the create Meeting API bug (error code 400 “-1” “null”) a workaround until we fix it is to pass the settings field and approval type in the API request. For example:

{
   ...
   "settings": {
      "approval_type":"{respective value here}"
   }
}

Please let us know if that helps! :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Tommy
