Hi guys!

Right now there is a programmer consuming the API, using PHP  
question, can another programmer, use the same API at the same time, with another project maybe using another programming language?  
I think there is another project in the back burner that can be started soon, so this question came up  
I think that not problem should arise but I would like to kwow what you think,  
Thanks in advance

Hey @itsupport,

This is possible, but if you are sharing one [OAuth App Type](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-oauth-app), I would be cautious of invalidating your `access_token` / `refresh_token` by using it in two different projects.

I suggest creating a new/separate App for each project. This will allow you to make multiple Zoom Apps that won’t conflict with each other while keeping your development under one master Zoom account.

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,  
Tommy
