Hi Felix, [https://zoom.github.io/api/#authentication](https://zoom.github.io/api/#authentication) header = “Authorization: Bearer \” ex “Authorization: Bearer…” ---

Still the same error Can you help to check my command is correct or not :   curl --header “Authorization: Bearer” -X POST “[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users//meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users//meetings)” -H “accept: application/json” -H “Content-Type: application/json” -d “{ “jsonrpc”: “2.0”, “method”: “schedule”, “params”: { “password”: “”, “meeting\_info”: { “topic”: “my meeting”, “start\_time”: “2017-11-25T12:00:00”, “timezone”: “America/Los\_Angeles”, “duration”: “10”, “settings”: { “join\_before\_host”: false } } }}” ---

Doesn’t look like a valid JWT, where are you getting token from? ---

Hi Felix,     1) JWT is in the form Header.Payload.Signature. Your token is in wrong format. See [https://developer.zoom.us/blog/api-authentication-frameworks/](https://developer.zoom.us/blog/api-authentication-frameworks/) 1. I think your are picking access token from [https://developer.zoom.us/me/#api](https://developer.zoom.us/me/#api), which is completly wrong. 2. If zoom is giving error “Access token is required”, it means zoom is not recognising that you have passed any token. If your access token is in wrong format then it will return “Invalid access token”, which means zoom recognises access token but its not in correct format.  Try this -: ``` curl -H "Authorization: Bearer " ``` Thanks Priyank ---

Hi Joshua, I am able to resolve the error…it seems I am creating wrong JWT token. Thanks.
