Contact search was working for me a while ago. But now it seems broken. I attempt to hit this endpoint:

→ GET [https://api.zoom.us/v2/contacts?search\_key=greg&page\_size=25](https://api.zoom.us/v2/contacts?search_key=greg&page_size=25)

and I get back a 400 error with the body:

{“code”:200,“message”:“Invalid access token, does not contain permissions:[User:Read].”}

The strange thing is, I do have the user:read scope defined in the dev console for my client ID. I also have contact:read scope. Other contact related APIs still work for me, it’s only search that is broke.

According to the API docs, nothing has changed with this endpoint.
