Hi @mnf,

Thanks for reaching out about this. Have you had a chance to look over our OAuth Guide?

The first step, if you haven’t already, is to [create an OAuth App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/oauth-app) to generate your Client ID and Secret. From there, you will then need to follow steps 1 and 2 in our guide: retrieving the `code` from your redirect URL after the user installs the app, and then using that code in step 2 to fetch an access token.

Your second request (after you retrieve the code), should look something like this:

```auto
var client = new RestClient("https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code={code}&redirect_uri=https://zoom.us");

client.Timeout = -1;

var request = new RestRequest(Method.POST);

request.AddHeader("Authorization", "Basic <base64encoded_clientId_clientSecret>");

IRestResponse response = client.Execute(request);

Console.WriteLine(response.Content);

```

Let me know if this helps,  
Will
