We are trying to generate zoom access token using following api url  
**"[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/)" + userId + “/token?type=_zak_”;**

Access token is generated. But when we use the same in IONIC. The user enters the meeting as a participant instead of joining as a host.

```auto
this.zoomService.startMeetingWithZAK(meetingNumber, displayName, zoomToken, zoomAccessToken, userId, options)
  .then((success: any) => console.log(success))
  .catch((error: any) => console.log(error));

```

Please guide us through

Hi [meetings1](https://devforum.zoom.us/u/meetings1),

Thanks for the post. I just tried with our Ionic demo app and I am able to host a meeting with the tokens. Could you have a try with our iOS SDK demo([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/iOS/getting-started/prerequisites](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/iOS/getting-started/prerequisites)) or the Android SDK demo([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/getting-started/prerequisites](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/getting-started/prerequisites)), and see if the same token and credentials work as expected?

Hope this helps. Thanks!

@meetings1 Can you post your headers for the request you make to generate ZAK?
