Hi.  
I am new to the Zoom API, and needs to create some PowerShell scripts for automating user licensing.

As I understand the documentation, first step to create an Oauth app, so I get a Client ID with a secret key generated, for authorization to the REST service.

In the last step in the app creation (Install App), the wizard redirects me to the url I typed for the Oauth redirection.  
As this is not intended for a user login, but a central integration script, there is no such url on my side. So the creation fails.

Have I misunderstood the method, or is there way around this.

Thanks.

Søren

You need to use JWT authentication [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/using-zoom-apis](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/using-zoom-apis) for server to server communication (Rest)

Hey @spo,

Like @avtandil.kikabidze, for Powershell scripts, use a [JWT App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) to generate a [JWT Token](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt).

Thanks,  
Tommy
