### **API Endpoint(s) and/or Zoom API Event(s)** `https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings` ### **Description** I am making a `GET` request to the `/users/{userId}/meetings` endpoint to list a user’s meetings. I am not attempting to create or modify a meeting. The API is returning an error that is typically associated with meeting hosting and scheduling, but we are just trying to fetch data. My understanding is that a `GET` request to list meetings should not require the user to have a licensed account. The error is unexpected for this type of request. `{` `“code”: 3161,` `“message”: “Your user account is not allowed meeting hosting and scheduling capabilities.”` `}` ### **How To Reproduce** 1. **Request URL / Headers / Body:** 2. **Authentication method or app type:** 3. **Any errors:** ---

Hi @Apurv Thansk for reaching out to us! I have not seen this error on my end. Can you make sure you have the following scope added in your app and try again `meeting:read:list_meetings:admin` ---

Hello @Apurv I’m also experiencing the same error. This issue only seems to affect data for some users under the same account. I have already added the scopes that @elisa.zoom mentioned, but the error persists. I hope this problem gets resolved soon. ---

Hi @wtnvenga Thanks for reaching out to us. Can you please share more details about this issue? What endpoints are you calling and what app type are you using? ---

Hi, @elisa.zoom . Thanks for the reply. I’m also getting an error with the `/users//meetings` endpoint. > **[Meetings APIs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/meetings/get/users/%7BuserId%7D/meetings)** > > The Zoom Meeting APIs allow developers to interface with Zoom Meetings and Webinars programmatically. Specifically, I’ve been granted the required scopes mentioned in the API documentation. I sent requests with both `"upcoming_meetings"` and `"previous_meetings"` as the `type` query parameter, but both resulted in a 3161 error. ---

> [@wtnvenga](#): > > [Meetings APIs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/meetings/get/users/%7BuserId%7D/meetings) Can you confirm that the user\_id you are passing is from a user under your account? ---

Same issue here as well. For only one user this API is throwing this error. For the rest, working fine. I can confirm this user is an active user under the account. ---

Hi @Apurv Thanks for reaching out to us Have you tried calling the List users endpoint to confirm the users exists in your account? > **[Users APIs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/users/#tag/users/get/users)** > > The User APIs allow developers to programatically access data related to users, groups, and contact groups. ---
