**Description** Hi, I’m am using the [get a meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) api with a meetingId I got using the [meetings report](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportmeetings) api. For some reason, the get a meeting api returns an error with code 3001 and message: meeting does not exist. I’ve tested the meetingId with several other api’s including [get past meeting details](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/pastmeetingdetails), [get meeting detail reports](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportmeetingdetails) and [get meeting participant reports](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportmeetingparticipants). They are all returning a valid response. Is there a particular reason that only the [get a meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) api returns this error? The meeting uuid is V6dcO6vOT5uYwCZvbjztQQ== **Error** { “code”: 3001, “message”: “Meeting does not exist: \*\*\*.” } ---

Hello, @alexle ! Happy to help here. Typically, this error is thrown when you are trying to query a meeting that is not associated with your user/account. Are you able to find this meeting id when you call the [List Meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetings) api? Regards, Brandon ---

Hi Brandon, Thanks for replying. Using the List Meetings api doesn’t seem to return that meeting. Comparing the results between the [Get meeting reports](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportmeetings) and the [List Meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetings) results, it seems that the [List Meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetings) api is not returning meeting of type 1 (Instant Meetings). Does the [Get a meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) api support instant meetings? I couldn’t find in the documentation anything about the api only supporting specific meeting types. ---

Hey @alexle , The Get meeting api is intended to get information on an upcoming meeting that has not yet started, using the meeting ID instead of the UUID. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/1/b/1b7a482f97c23261e7cfffdf557c57440281382c.png) To retrieve information about a past meeting, you’ll want to use the [Get Past Meeting Details API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/pastmeetingdetails) , using the meeting UUID. Let me know if this helps. Regards, Brandon ---

Hi Brandon, Thanks for clarifying that. The reason I was using the get a meeting api was because I’m missing the timezone of the meeting, which seems to only be returned by that api. Is there an alternative api that I could get the timezone of the meeting? I can’t find it anywhere else. Thanks, Alex ---

Hey @alexle, Unfortunately, we don’t have an API that will return the time zone that a meeting was previously hosted in. If you would like this feature to be considered for a future release, I recommend posting in the #feature-requests category. Thanks, Max ---
