**Description** When creating a new recurring webinar it doesn’t create the occurences. What I need to create is a recurring webinar that happens daily, with 1 repeat interval, a fixed time so even a start\_date and an end\_date. **Which Endpoint/s?** POST [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/webinars](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/webinars) **How To Reproduce (If applicable)** I’ll copy below the request that I’am sending to the api as body By the way, in the documentation ([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarcreate](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarcreate)) the type for “duration” is “string” but it doesn’t work because has to be an integer. ```auto { "topic": "Test Webinar", "type": 9, "start_time": "2020-09-17T12:00:00Z", "duration": 60, "timezone": "Europe/Rome", "password": "avfhfgh", "agenda": "Test Webinar", "recurrence": { "type": 1, "repeat_interval": 1, "end_date_time": "2020-09-25T13:00:00Z" }, "settings": { "host_video": "true", "panelists_video": "true", "practice_session": "true", "hd_video": "true", "hd_video_for_attendees": "false", "send_1080p_video_to_attendees": "false", "approval_type": 2, "registration_type": 2, "audio": "both", "auto_recording": "none", "enforce_login": "false", "close_registration": "true", "show_share_button": "true", "allow_multiple_devices": "false", "email_language": "en-US", "panelists_invitation_email_notification": true, "registrants_confirmation_email": true, "registrants_email_notification": true, "attendees_and_panelists_reminder_email_notification": { "enable": true, "type": 1 }, "follow_up_attendees_email_notification": { "enable": true, "type": 1 }, "follow_up_absentees_email_notification": { "enable": true, "type": 1 } } } ``` **Screenshots (If applicable)** I’ll write here the response that I get. ```auto { "uuid": "[obfuscated]", "id": [obfuscated], "host_id": "[obfuscated]", "host_email": "test@test.it", "topic": "Test Webinar", "type": 9, "duration": 60, "timezone": "Europe/Rome", "agenda": "Test Webinar", "created_at": "2021-09-16T14:09:06Z", "start_url": "[obfuscated]", "password": "avfhfgh", "occurrences": [], "settings": { "host_video": true, "panelists_video": true, "approval_type": 2, "audio": "both", "auto_recording": "none", "enforce_login": false, "enforce_login_domains": "", "alternative_hosts": "", "close_registration": true, "show_share_button": true, "allow_multiple_devices": false, "practice_session": true, "hd_video": true, "question_answer": true, "registrants_confirmation_email": true, "on_demand": false, "request_permission_to_unmute_participants": false, "global_dial_in_countries": [ "US" ], "global_dial_in_numbers": [ { "country_name": "US", "city": "Houston", "number": "+1 3462487799", "type": "toll", "country": "US" }, { "country_name": "US", "city": "San Jose", "number": "+1 4086380968", "type": "toll", "country": "US" }, { "country_name": "US", "city": "New York", "number": "+1 6468769923", "type": "toll", "country": "US" }, { "country_name": "US", "city": "San Jose", "number": "+1 6699006833", "type": "toll", "country": "US" }, { "country_name": "US", "city": "Tacoma", "number": "+1 2532158782", "type": "toll", "country": "US" }, { "country_name": "US", "city": "Washington DC", "number": "+1 3017158592", "type": "toll", "country": "US" }, { "country_name": "US", "city": "Chicago", "number": "+1 3126266799", "type": "toll", "country": "US" } ], "contact_name": "Mario Rossi", "contact_email": "test@test.it", "registrants_restrict_number": 0, "registrants_email_notification": true, "post_webinar_survey": false, "meeting_authentication": false, "question_and_answer": { "enable": true, "allow_anonymous_questions": true, "answer_questions": "only", "attendees_can_upvote": false, "attendees_can_comment": false }, "hd_video_for_attendees": false, "send_1080p_video_to_attendees": false, "email_language": "en-US", "panelists_invitation_email_notification": true, "attendees_and_panelists_reminder_email_notification": { "enable": true, "type": 1 }, "follow_up_attendees_email_notification": { "enable": true, "type": 1 }, "follow_up_absentees_email_notification": { "enable": true, "type": 1 } }, "recurrence": { "type": 1, "repeat_interval": 1, "end_date_time": "2020-09-25T13:00:00Z" } } ``` **Additional context** If I try to create the same webinar inside the back-office it works, but I saw that are called different APIs for the creation of a webinar. ---

Hey @albertogiovanelli91, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. This seems to be happening because you’re using a `type` and `repeat_interval` of 1: ```auto "recurrence": { "type": 1, "repeat_interval": 1, "end_date_time": "2020-09-25T13:00:00Z" }, ``` With this configuration, the meeting is set to occur one on one day. In other words, there is only one occurrence of this meeting. Let me know if that helps. Thanks, Max ---

Hi @MaxM thanks for the reply! Reading the docs I understood that if I want to create a recurring webinar for let’s say 3 days once a day I should set the webinar as DAILY (type=1) and with one occurence a day.(repeat\_interval=1). If I try to change those params (using different value for type and for repeat\_interval) using a start\_date and an end\_date\_time I always get the occurences array empty. How I am supposed to set those params to get a recurring webinar once a day for 3 days? Could you give me an example? I tried to create a recurring webinar using your back-office and I noticed that it’s calling a different API and the object for the recurrence is the following: ```auto recurrence_setting={"type":"DAILY","timezone":"Europe/Rome","currentUserId":"","startTime":"09/20/2021+16:00","recurrenceValues":[{"type":"INTERVAL","value":"1"}],"endType":"END_DATETIME","endTime":"09/26/2021+23:59"} ``` It’s type = DAILY and type=INTERVAL with value=1, so I think that the core concept is the same or am I wrong? Thanks for your suppport! Alberto Giovanelli ---

Hey @albertogiovanelli91, Apologies, I misunderstood at first. If you wanted to create a meeting each day that would be the correct format. However, when using the [Create a Webinar API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarcreate) with the following body I wasn’t able to reproduce the issue: ```auto { "topic": "test", "type": 9, "start_time": "2021-09-22T09:00:00Z", "recurrence": { "type": "1", "repeat_interval": "1", "end_times": 3 } } ``` I tried when using both end\_times and end\_date\_time but saw the same result. I’m wondering if there is another setting in the request conflicting here. If you use the same (or similar adjusting for the date) request as me does it work as expected? If not, we should set up a meeting to confirm the issue. You can always email [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with a link to this thread and we’ll work to set up a meeting. Thanks, Max ---
