Greetings,

We have written an application that uses OAUTH 2.0 and integrates the Zoom API for call control. Users currently login with their User Id, which looks like a GUID. We would like users to be able to login with their email address.

Is there an API endpoint that can be called to convert a user Email Address to User Id?

Thanks,  
George

Hi @gschally  
Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here!  
We do not have an ednpoint that you can use to convert email to user ID, but you can use the endpoing [Get a user](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/methods/#operation/user) and pass the email in the request url and in the response you will get the id as a string

Hope this helps,  
Elisa

Thank you, I missed that “user Id” could be email address: GET /users/{userId}
