Hi, i am trying to use the /v2/clips endpoint to get all the current clips on my account, using the given code in the docs for the clips api for python:

import requests  
url = baseUrl + “/v2/clips”  
querystring = {“user\_id”:“me”}  
headers = {“Authorization”: “Bearer my\_access\_token”}  
response = requests.get(url, headers=headers, params=querystring)  
print(response.json())

but i keep receiving error 400.

The token i am using is the access token from the /oauth/token endpoint, and the same token works for the upload endpoint (v2/clips/files/multipart).

in the app, i have granted the following permissions:  
clips:read:list\_collaborator:admin  
clips:read:list\_user\_clips:admin  
clips:write:upload\_file:admin  
clips:read:clip:admin

Thanks in advance.

Hey @Ranyel  
I am not able to replicate this on my end. I am getting the response data back when calling the Get Clips endpoint.  
Can you please try making this request using a tool like postman or send a curl request to confirm this works

```auto
curl --location --request GET 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/clips?user_id=me' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {your access token}'

```

Hi again, thanks for your last answer, i was able to find my problem:

in the [Zoom Clips Docs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/clips/#tag/clips/GET/clips), the documentation uses the following example to get the clips:

```auto
curl --request GET \
  --url 'https://fileapi.zoom.us/v2/clips?user_id=me' \
  --header 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_SECRET_TOKEN'

```

using the endpoint:

> GET [https://fileapi.zoom.us/v2/clips?user\_id=me](https://fileapi.zoom.us/v2/clips?user_id=me)’

in your answer:

```auto
curl --request GET 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/clips?user_id=me' \
--header 'Authorization: Bearer {your access token}'

```

you used a different endpoint:

> GET [https://api.zoom.us/v2/clips?user\_id=me](https://api.zoom.us/v2/clips?user_id=me)

so the endpoint was the problem.

Thanks for your time and help.
