Hi @prajapati.prerita22 ,

Thanks for your inquiry on this. Your payload looks correct and we were unable to reproduce the error on our end.

Are you receiving the same error when making the request via Postman?

Additionally, are there any password requirements for the app that could be failing?

Best,  
Gianni

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

I am actually making the request from postman and getting 500 error.

Sharing you the curl request for the same.

```auto
curl --location --request POST 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/LRHg0QRxTd6aBbuvDUkxNQ/meetings' \
--header 'Content-Type: multipart/form-data' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {jwt token value here}' \

Thanks for your response @prajapati.prerita22 – were you able to identify if there are any password requirements for the app that could be failing?
