Hey @meetings1, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

Please share your C# code, as well as the endpoint url, and request body you are using.

Please also share how you are authenticating (JWT or OAuth)?

Thanks,
Tommy

      //method for GenerateZoomToken
public string GenerateZoomToken(){
		// Token will be good for 20 minutes
        DateTime Expiry = DateTime.UtcNow.AddMinutes(20);

        string ApiKey = "xyz";//(your apiKey)
        string ApiSecret = "abc";//(your ApiSecret)

		int ts = (int)(Expiry - new DateTime(1970, 1, 1)).TotalSeconds;

		// Create Security key  using private key above:
		var securityKey = new Microsoft.IdentityModel.Tokens.SymmetricSecurityKey(Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(ApiSecret));

		// length should be >256b
		var credentials = new SigningCredentials(securityKey, SecurityAlgorithms.HmacSha256);

		//Finally create a Token
		var header = new JwtHeader(credentials);

		//Zoom Required Payload
		var payload = new JwtPayload
		{
			{ "iss", ApiKey},
			{ "exp", ts },
		};

		var secToken = new JwtSecurityToken(header, payload);
		var handler = new JwtSecurityTokenHandler();

		// Token to String so you can use it in your client
		var tokenString = handler.WriteToken(secToken);
		
        return tokenString;
        }

Hey @meetings1,

Are you actually passing {abc@gmail.com} in your request?

https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{abc@gmail.com}/meetings

The email used must be a user on your account.

Thanks,
Tommy
