**Using the REST API w/ JWT** Zoom API Version 2 utilizes **JSON Web Tokens (JWT)** for authentication. To use Postman with the Zoom API, we need to provide a JWT. The easiest way to do this is to go to [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) and create one. > (You will first need to go to your **developer account** page and get your API key/Secret to generate the token). Build your JWT on the [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) by populating the **Decoded** section with the following. Replace the `` and `` with your information, and set the expiration time ( `exp` ) in the payload to a future time. In your **Production** implementation, we recommend setting the `exp` to something short like 60 seconds. **Using the REST API w/ OAuth2** You need to build an app using [https://marketplace.zoom.us](https://marketplace.zoom.us) to obtain your API Keys. Then, you’ll need to follow the [OAuth with Zoom](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/authorization/oauth-with-zoom) docs to initiate the OAuth2 Authorization Flow. When you’ve received the `authorization_code`, you’ll exchange it for an `access_token`. Then you can use that `access_token` to authenticate your REST API Requests. Make sure to set the `scopes` on your app to implement the REST APIs you wish to consume in your app. Once you have your `access_token` you can add it to the **Authorization** header as `Bearer ` **AUTHORIZATION IN POSTMAN** If you follow along with this documentation to download the Zoom API Postman Collection, and using the OAuth2 Client ID and Client Secret, you can EDIT the collection to include Authorization: 1. After you’ve downloaded and installed the Zoom API Postman Collection, right click and choose `Edit` 2. Choose the **Authorization** tab 3. Set **Type** === `OAuth 2.0`, make sure “Add auth data to” is set to `Request Headers` 4. Click on the button labeled **Get New Access Token** 5. Complete the form (replacing the template strings wrapped in double-braces with your values) ![31%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/1X/f8c76efaf72387861fa24a655ad844a43a02d42e.png) 6. Click on the button labeled **Request Token** , if successful, you’ll be shown the `access_token`, `refresh_token`, `scopes`, and other properties. 7. Click the button labeled **Use Token** 8. Click the button labeled **Update** to complete editing the collection. 9. Open one of the requests that is aligned with the scopes for your app, and click the **Authorization** tab, to make sure it is set to `Inherit auth from parent` (you can click the **Headers** tab to see the implicit Authorization header added with the access token you just obtained. 10. Click the button labeled “Send” to send the request, and see the response. ---

Hi @if1, If you paste your token into [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) you will see that your token expired on Jan 17th 2018. You will need to input a time that is in the future for the exp **property**. Afterwards, the token should work. ![22%20PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/1X/c0ee4555d2c3ffa852c44e1e6919e5078d419d40.png) ---
