Dear all,
I need some help, a general guidance for what I need to do.
Prior to asking this question, I’ve, of course, read the documentation though I got confused since it seems that the docs were written bigger apps (and much more complex needs) in mind.
Ok, here’s what I need to do:
- Create a custom registration form for the participants of our upcoming meetings.
- Handling all e-mail communication with participants by myself, that is my backend will be sending the confirmation and information (updates, cancellations, etc.) mails.
- Track the participants’ join and leave timestamps (and identities) to/from a given meeting.
I understand that for these specific purposes, I should…
- Create the meeting via Zoom web panel.
- Enable the registration required option.
- Disable the send confirmation e-mail to registrants option.
- Create a JWT app to register the participants whose information has been collected via our own services (send request to the relevant Zoom API endpoint).
- Create a Webhook app to collect the event-based information such as join, leave, etc.
Lastly, let me elaborate the confusion part with a couple of examples…
-
Documentation states that a JWT app is required (and preferred) for server-to-server communication whereas OAuth app is for user-action purposes (frontend apps?), yet the page for endpoint/of/add/participant/to/meeting says that OAuth should be used for authentication.
-
Also, there is an API Key and Secret at the bottom of main settings page. What are those for?
In short, which method should I use to authorize my micro-webservice to add / update registrants?
Your help is much appreciated, just a small nudge to the right direction 
Thank you…
