This is a simple question, but how can I automate the active user report, and possibly the inactive user report. We tried using the Meetings API, but found the results unreliable, although maybe that is a misunderstanding of what it returns.

Found in the Zoom Meeting API Json

JSON:

```
  "/report/users":{
     "get":{
        "tags":[
           "Reports"
        ],
        "summary":"Get active or inactive host reports",

```

Hi @james.igoe  
Thanks for reaching out to us… For the Get active or inactive host report, you can either query with the Active host or inactive host

Could you please share with me why you found the results unreliable? I am trying to understand your use case.

I assumed the meetings API was comprehensive, but maybe I misunderstand its limitations. Tracking users, we found it better to use the Active Hosts, as the Inactive Hosts, reports for gauging user activity.
