Hi All

Can any one help me out  
Description/Error  
Failed to load resource. The server responded with a status of 403

Web JS SDK  
Rest API call from Local web project for create meeting generates error " Failed to load resource 403 "

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%7BuserId%7D/meetings)

I used the same code that generated in postman

```auto
var data = JSON.stringify({
  "host_id": "my email id",
  "topic": "my first zoom meeting",
  "type": "2"
});

var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest();
xhr.withCredentials = true;

xhr.addEventListener("readystatechange", function () {
  if (this.readyState === this.DONE) {
    console.log(this.responseText);
  }
});

xhr.open("POST", "https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{email id}/meetings");
xhr.setRequestHeader("content-type", "application/json");
xhr.setRequestHeader("authorization", "Bearer JWT Token");

xhr.send(data);

```

Hey @palanirajan70, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

I believe this is a [Cors issue](https://medium.com/netscape/hacking-it-out-when-cors-wont-let-you-be-great-35f6206cc646). Zoom does not allow the frontend to make requests to our API.

I suggest using a [backend Node.js Server to make requests](https://www.twilio.com/blog/2017/08/http-requests-in-node-js.html) to the Zoom API. For example:

Your Frontend and Web SDK makes http request to your backed server \> your backend server makes request to Zoom API \> Zoom API responds back to your backend server \> your backend server responds back to your Frontend and Web SDK.

> Thanks @gokul, First of all, calling Zoom APIs via the frontend (jQuery) is not supported. I suggest creating a [Node.js server](https://blog.risingstack.com/your-first-node-js-http-server/) to [make http requests](https://www.twilio.com/blog/2017/08/http-requests-in-node-js.html) to the Zoom API. What is your full use case so I can provide advice on what type of [Zoom App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types) to create ([JWT](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) vs. [OAuth](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-oauth-app))? Nevertheless, I have fixed your code, and now you can get an access\_token, but when you call the create meeting endpoint you will get a Invalid CORS request error because we do not support https://cors-anywhere.herokuapp.com/ (…

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,  
Tommy
