Alternative host could not be found and error codes

[franardone (Francesco)]

Description
I am trying to create meetings with alternative hosts.
Problem is that sometimes one or more alt-hosts do not exists in Zoom. I just want to create the meeting without them and give a message to the end user “Users a@aa.a, b@bb.b could not be set as alt hosts”.

Is there a way to get the invalid users in a structured way (i.e. not screen-scraping the error message) and to get them all at once rather than one by one ?

So far I have met error codes 404/1113 and 400/1115 which do not correspond with what is in the documentation.
Are there other codes for invalid users ?
Is there somewhere a current list of error codes ?

Which Endpoint/s?
POST /users/{userId}/meetings

How To Reproduce (If applicable)
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. try to create a meeting with 3 invalid and 3 valid alternative_hosts
2. find which of the 6 alt_hosts are not valid

Thanks

Hi @franardone,

Thank you for reaching out about this, and good question.

At this time, our API will return the invalid emails/user IDs one by one for the individuals that couldn’t be added as alternative hosts. However, I can definitely appreciate how it would be helpful to receive this error response in a more structured way.

If you’re so inclined, I might recommend submitting this as a feature request here: #feature-requests

Thanks,
Will

Thanks Will,
do you have a list of the possible error codes ?

Hi @franardone,

Unfortunately we don’t have a reference for all possible Zoom errors, though it’s a great suggestion.

Generally speaking, the 404 error that you will commonly see means that the one of the users specified can’t be found or is invalid.

Having said this, I will see if we can work on adding more specific codes to our documentation.

Thanks,
Will
