**Description**  
Cannot get all meetings report due to the API rate limit.

**Error**  
API times-out for 24 hours

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
JWT

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
report  
meetings  
participants

**Additional context**  
We need to get data for all our Zoom users and their meetings in this format: ZoomID, meeting start time, meeting duration.  
We have designed a custom console application to call your Zoom API, however since we have over 50K users under our account, unfortunately, the API times-out, due to the rate limits.  
Is there another way to get the data? Can the rate limit be increased? I have already sent a Zoom ticket on this, but they referred me to this forum.

Hey @nvanderson

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂

Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for:

> [@Rate limit on Create Meeting API](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/8429):
>
> Description We are trying to create an integration between our Learning Management System (Saba Cloud) and Zoom Meetings and Webinars. The Create Meeting API mentions a limit of 100 APIs per user. However, we use a central integration user to create all Zoom meetings. This would mean we can only create 100 meetings in a day, which is too little for the size of customers we are targeting. What are our customers’ options in this regard for getting a higher limit? We can see anywhere upto 10,000…

> [@New Rate Limits](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/9959):

> Description From this [Zoom API Rate Limits](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/zoom-api-rate-limits/7266) , Tommy said that there will be a new API rate limit in March. Is that has been applied yet? or still using this [rate limit](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits) ? If using the older one, will /v2/metrics/meetings/{meetingId}/participants have rate limit of 2000 request/day or only /v2/metrics/meetings? Thanks

> [@Update meeting API rate limit](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/10142):
>
> On the update meeting API documentation it says “This API has a rate limit of 100 requests per day”. But it’s not clear that if it’s per meeting or it applies to whole account?

If these threads did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.

Hey @nvanderson,

Have you considered using our Webhooks? For things like meeting start time and duration, you could leverage these events (which do **not** count towards your rate limit):

> **[Meeting Started - Meeting Events - Webhook Reference - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/meeting-events/meeting-started)**
>
> Meeting Started
> 
> 
> 
> A meeting host can start a meeting from the Zoom desktop client for Mac, PC or Linux, the Zoom app for Android or iOS, a web browser,...

  

> **[Meeting Ended - Meeting Events - Webhook Reference - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/webhook-reference/meeting-events/meeting-ending)**
>
> Meeting Ended

> 
> A meeting host can end a meeting for all meeting participants. 
> 
> The Meeting Ended event is triggered every time a meeting host ends th...

Thanks,  
Will

Hi

Is there a library for [ASP.NET](http://ASP.NET) and Zoom web-hooks? I cannot find anything…

Or a sample code how to get event data in the app?
