Hey @frank2, Please see my post here: > [@My API\_Key is not 22 characters, so why is the code checking this condition? It is 36 characters!](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/my-api-key-is-not-22-characters-so-why-is-the-code-checking-this-condition-it-is-36-characters/19220/3): > > Hey @tanderson, Make sure you are using a [JWT App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/jwt-app) to get your API Key. The SDK App Key won’t work and is longer than 22 characters. Thanks, Tommy THanks, Tommy ---
