According to the documentation, the host must manually click “Copy API Token” to get the token. Is there a way to get the token using the API instead of manually clicking the button? I have had similar questions in the past, but I would appreciate it if you could provide me with the latest information. > [@Obtaining API token when integrating a third-party closed captioning service](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/obtaining-api-token-when-integrating-a-third-party-closed-captioning-service/36213): > > Description According to the documentation, the host needs to manually click on the “Copy the API token” in order to get the token.

Hi @donte.zoom, The link [Closed Caption Token API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods#operation/meetingToken) doesn’t work. **Where can I find the documentation for the API that enables obtaining the closed caption token programmatically after being assigned as a captioner?** Thanks.
