Hey @rcasimina, Good question. Reports can be retrieved for the last 12 months. Note also that if a meeting is not started in 30 days and is batch deleted by Zoom, the reports for the meeting are also deleted. Let me know if this helps to clarify, Will ---

Hi @will.zoom Thanks for the reply. You mentioned that the reports can be retrieved for the last 12 months but according to documentation for /report/activities API, in the “from” parameter, it said that the specified date range should fall within the last six months. As I understand, this API can only retrieved the last past 6 months data and not last 12 months, right? So this 12 months are for those Reports APIs that doesn’t mentioned any retention period. Is my understanding correct? Or there are some mistakes in documentation and the actual retention period is actually 12 months. Please clarify. Thank you, Rodel ---

Hi @rcasimina, This may vary by endpoint—I am reaching out to our team to confirm for the Sign In/Sign Out activity Report endpoint, specifically. I’ll follow up with you here! Thanks, Will ---

Hi @will.zoom, Thank you for your support. I will wait for your update. And while you are asking your team about the Sign In/Sign Out activity Report endpoint, could you kindly include below endpoints as well. /report/users /report/users/{userId}/meetings /report/cloud\_recording /report/activities /metrics/meetings /metrics/im Note: Above endpoints mentioned last 6 months. /report/daily /report/meetings/{meetingId} /report/meetings/{meetingId}/participants /report/meetings/{meetingId}/polls /report/webinars/{webinarId} /report/webinars/{webinarId}/participants /report/webinars/{webinarId}/polls /report/webinars/{webinarId}/qa /report/telephone /report/operationlogs Thanks and regards, Rodel ---

Hi @rcasimina, Thanks for your patience while I confirmed this, and apologies for the confusion. I’ve confirmed with my team that each of these API endpoints is limited to data within the last 6 months. I hope this helps to clarify, Will ---
