Hey @Ansh,

Please see my post here:

> Hey @venkat.sai, The grant type of client\_credentials will only work with [Zoom Chatbots](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/chatbots/installation-and-authentication). You need to use the [OAuth grant type of authorization\_code](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth#getting-access-token). Can you share a screenshot and steps to reproduce this error: “Note: if we use the grant type as Authorization code we are getting page not found.”. Thanks, Tommy

Thanks,  
Tommy
