Hi

When a user registers for a password protected meeting they are sent an email with meeting information. Included in that email is a link with a long URL that they can click to join the meeting and bypass entering the password. Is there way a to get that URL from the API?

Hey @jheadley,

Yes, you can get it from the [Create Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate), or [Get Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) response.

Thanks,  
Tommy

Thank you for your assistance.

I’m not talking about the join\_url – that connects to the meeting, but still prompts for a password. I want the URL that bypasses  
the password. Unless I’m mistaken and the join\_url does do that, I’m basing my assertion off of the example on the reference page.

Hey @jheadley,

The password is included in the response of the endpoints I mentioned above:

> [@Invite URL password hash](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/invite-url-password-hash/3363/11):

Notice the password is included in the join\_url, and the other encoding versions of the password are included in the response payload.
