> Hi @Glenn1, welcome to the forum! An HTTPS Error 401 indicates to me that your auth header is incorrect. Looking at this line: In my application, the grant\_type I’m using is account\_credentials not client\_credentials, so give that a shot. EDIT: Just to add, I’m also specifying my account ID in the request, which I don’t see in yours: oauth/token?grant\_type=account\_credentials&account\_id=${MY\_ZOOM\_ACCOUNT\_ID}
