The API update registrant to set a registrant to approved is not working. I have seen similar posts in this forum, but they seem to be related to the occurrence\_id param not being included. I’m currently testing this in Postman as follows: PUT [https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/[REDACTED]/registrants/status/?occurrenceid=[REDACTED]](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/%5BREDACTED%5D/registrants/status/?occurrenceid=%5BREDACTED%5D) Authorization: Bearer {My JWT token} Content-Type: application/json Body: { “action”: “approve”, “registrants”: [ { “id”: “JtuCwt0BTd6llH9zXcuvQA”, “email”: “{user email}” } ] } This API call returns 204 No Content, but the status of the registrant does not change. Any help would be appreciated. ---

Hi @kurban , Thank you for your inquiry! Do you have the following scopes enabled to grant permission to make the update? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/2/3/2336d499bac42289daae4e249d854a0065fc2dda.png) Gianni ---

Thank you, Gianna. I think that’s moving me in the right direction. I have used the add meeting, add registrant APIs without setting scopes so I didn’t realize that they existed or that they had to be set. Could you please let me know where scopes permissions are set? Thank you! Karl ---

So in reading up a bit on scopes, it looks like that is under Oauth authentication. I have been using JWT for authentication for all of the other API calls like add meeting and add registration. So for the update registrant API am I required to use oauth, or can scopes be defined under the JWT? I’m not seeing a place to do that. Thanks. ---

Hi @kurban, Ahh sorry that’s on me! I missed that you were using JWT in your initial post. Your request body looks right from what I can see, but change the endpoint/path URL after v2 to `/webinars/{webinarId}/registrants/status` Make sure to include those same query parameters of webinarId and occurrence\_id 🙂 Thank you, Gianni ---

Hi Gianni, I have set up a meeting, not a webinar. And I have a meeting ID which was returned from the add meeting API. So if I change the URL to /webinars… it results in an error. I believe the /meetings URL is correct. Thanks, Karl ---

Btw, I tried ?occurrence\_id=[REDACTED] and ?occurrenceid=[REDACTED] (without the underscore) so see if that parameter made a difference. I currently have the parameter as occurrence\_id. ---

Hi @kurban , You’re absolutely right about the URL then since you’re looking to update a meeting registrant and not webinar, I’m a little off today 😅 Please send your full request parameters/body, and response results to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us), addressed to me and with a link to this thread and I will try to reproduce this issue and debug. Thank you, Gianni ---

I did finally get this to work. The issue was that in certain API calls, the registrant id is “registrant\_id” and in this one it is just “id”. Once I made that change everything worked as expected. Thanks! ---

Ahh okay, glad it’s resolved! You put “id” in your request body in you initial post, so where did you have it written differently that affected this API endpoint? ---

In my RestClient code, I created a class using registrant\_id. Since that call wasn’t working, I decided to use Postman to find out where the issue was. I structured the json body for Postman by hand and used the correct “id” instead of “registrant\_id”. ---
