Zoom Meeting API issues with changing recurring fixed meeting start_time
Zoom Meeting API

Description
Hi, have been using the zoom api endpoint to change the meeting start_time for a script i’m working on, the script changes the start_time for a scheduled meeting but not for a recurring_meeting, if the recurring_meeting is a type:3 then a start_time can not be specified because it does not have that attribute. However, if i specify the start_time for a fixed recurring_meeting, i do not get any error when i make a patch request, however the update to the start_time doesn’t seem to be effectuated in the zoom app. This is what my request.patch body looks like

meeting_update_details = {
“topic”: topic,
“start_time”: start_time.isoformat(),
“duration”: MEETING_DURATION,
“timezone”: “Asia/Singapore”,
}

response = requests.patch(
url,headers=request_header(),
data=json.dumps(meeting_update_details),
)

Error?
I am not able to get the zoom recurring meeting start_time change to be effectuated in the app but it doesn’t give any errors when i make the patch request.

How To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
*1. Request URL / Headers **(
https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{USER_ID}/meetings
headers = {

}

)** / Body*

Hi @ayanelaw

Let me do some testing on my end and I will get back to you as soon as possible.

Thanks!

@ayanelaw

Can you provide the request data that you created the meeting with, and then the update in a bit more detail, you can leave out the JWT of course, but I am having a hard time trying to reproduce this behaviour.

Thank you

@rarev. The meeting is created from the app, by providing all the needed details. It is a recurring meeting with a fixed_time. And the start_time is provided whilst creating the meeting. Only the updating of the start_time of the meeting is done through the API, and this is the function that updates the meeting::

def scheduled_meeting_update_and_return_start_time(title):

    print("Scheduling meeting")

    topic = UPDATE_MEETING_TITLE if UPDATE_MEETING_TITLE else title

    current_time = datetime.now(pytz.timezone("Asia/Singapore"))

    start_time = current_time + timedelta(minutes=MEETING_START_TIME)

    start_time_in_seconds = (start_time - current_time).total_seconds()



    meeting_update_details = {

        "topic": topic,

        "start_time": start_time.isoformat(),

        "duration": MEETING_DURATION,

        "timezone": "Asia/Singapore",

        "join_before_host": False,

        "waiting_room": False,

        "participant_video": False,

        "mute_upon_entry": True,

    }



    response = requests.patch(

        url + f"/meetings/{MEETING_ID}",

        headers=request_header(),

        data=json.dumps(meeting_update_details),

    )



    if response.status_code != 204:

        raise ValueError("Schedule Updating not successful")

    return start_time_in_seconds

@rarev
This is how the token is being generated:

def generate_token():

    expiration_time = time() + 5000

    headers = {"iss": API_KEY, "exp": expiration_time}

    token = jwt.encode(headers, API_SEC, algorithm="HS256")

    return token

The code works fine for updating a scheduled meeting but not for a recurring meeting with fixed time. I don’t get any error when i update a recurring meeting with fixed time but the updated time doesn’t show up in my next meeting home as the next meeting and if i’m updating the start_time to 5 minutes after the current time of updating the time, i don’t get a notification that my meeting is starting in 5 minutes time.
