On Mon, 16 Sep 2019 15:40:10 GMT, I issued a DELETE request to "[https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/414861164?"](https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/414861164?%22) and got a 500 response without a body. However, the meeting was indeed deleted. If I try a DELETE on a nonexistent meeting, I get a proper 404. Just wondering why the 500 response. ---

Hey @ron.straight, The 500 does seem odd. I tried to reproduce the error and I could not. Are you including any [query parameters](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingdelete#request-parameters)? Thanks, Tommy ---

No query parameters. I didn’t notice the 500 response from DELETE requests until around the time I toggled the app intent to publish and got my developer credentials. ---

Hey @ron.straight, is the 500 error still happening? Or did it just happen that once ^ ---

Thanks @ron.straight, Can you give me exact steps to reproduce? 1. What app type? (Account/User Level OAuth or JWT) 2. What type of meeting? (Recurring, scheduled, instant) 3. When are you deleting it? (Before, During, or After meeting has started) Thanks, Tommy ---

1. OAuth app type. 2. Scheduled meeting type. 3. Deletion before meeting has started. ---

Thank you @ron.straight. This may be due to your account being a Basic account. To use the Zoom APIs you need at least a [Pro account](https://zoom.us/pricing). Or you can request a Free Trail account to use/test the Zoom APIs. Let me know how you want to move forward. Thanks, Tommy ---

You mention a trial account, but I assume that’s only for testing, right? If we actually want to create an app that other users can use, it has to be owned by at least a Pro account? ---

> [@ron.straight](#): > > You mention a trial account, but I assume that’s only for testing, right? A free trail account can create and publish apps to the Marketplace for as long as the free trail period. If you want your App to work long term yes, I would suggest upgrading to the [Pro Account](https://zoom.us/pricing). Does that make sense? Thanks, Tommy ---

I wouldn’t say it makes sense, but I understand what you’re saying. It will at least be easier to test OAuth with users under our account. Thanks! ---

@ron.straight, you can reach out to [isv@zoom.us](mailto:isv@zoom.us) to request a free trail account to test / develop your application. Thanks, Tommy ---

@tommy Still getting that 500 when performing a DELETE on a meeting after upgrading to a Pro account. The deletion happens, but the response indicates otherwise. ---

Thanks @ron.straight, This does seem like a bug. Can you give me a few of your meeting ID’s where you saw the 500 error so I can look at the logs? Thanks, Tommy ---

Update, this may be related to moving a Personal Zoom Account to a Sub Account under a Master Account. See: > [@You cannot authorize the app](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/you-cannot-authorize-the-app/5997/7): > > Update, this is an edge case on our end where you create a Zoom App on the Marketplace on a Personal Zoom Account, then your Zoom Account is added to a Master Account as a Sub Account. The Apps in the App Marketplace aren’t transferred over to the Master Account properly. As a work around, create a new Zoom Marketplace App and it will be properly instantiated on the Master Account. We are working on fixing this. JIRA: ZOOM-111363 Thanks, Tommy We are looking into this edge case and will fix. Thanks, Tommy ---

@tommy, after recreating the app, I’m still getting 500 on DELETE. Same behavior as before. The meeting is deleted, but the response has a status 500. Just deleted 931674664 and 964129786. ---

Thanks for the update @ron.straight Can you send me a screenshot of your App’s request logs in the Zoom App Marketplace Dashboard after you get the 500 error?

I didn’t know about that page. Very useful! ![ZoomApiLogDELETE](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/2X/5/5e9e09d3a87ca2da3472d16dad41fa78d85c5d9b.png) As you can see, it says it returned a 204. That makes me wonder if maybe the error is from our proxy. I don’t even see the DELETE calls in our logs, and checking the code shows we may not be handling an empty response body correctly. I’ll let you know if I find anything contrary, but for now I think we can assume this is on our end. Sorry for wasting your time. I’ll know to check the API logs next time before I go crying wolf.
