@khantufail425 you need to create an OAuth or other app-type to gain credentials for authorized use use of Zoom API. Please see the docs for the different app types and how to create: [Create an OAuth app](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/integrations/create/)

@javed , please see this troubleshooting guide for help with your error: [Troubleshooting Server-to-Server Oauth access tokens](https://developers.zoom.us/blog/s2s-token-generation-troubleshoot/)
