Hey @rich, you are in the right place!

You have a few options to access the Zoom API.

I’d suggest creating a [JWT](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) or [OAuth](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-oauth-app) app depending on your use case to use the Zoom API.
