When we call this API, we always get a Authorization failed error.

We tried to recreate a jwt token just like this :

but not working.

Hi @y-ka,

Thank you for reaching out on the Developer Forum.

If you are looking to invoke VSDK APIs, you should be referring to this documentation on creating Video SDK API JWT [Make API requests](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/api-request/#generate-video-sdk-api-jwt).

The other link you referenced is for generating a JWT Token for Video SDK Authorization.

We tried to get token use this method

```auto
require('dotenv').config();
const KJUR = require('jsrsasign')

export default function generateVideoSdkApiJwt() {

  const sdkApiKey = 'xxx';
  const sdkApiSecret = "xxxx";

  const iat = Math.round((new Date().getTime() - 30000) / 1000)
  const exp = iat + 60 * 60 * 2
  const oHeader = { alg: 'HS256', typ: 'JWT' }

  const oPayload = {
    iss: sdkApiKey,
    iat: iat,
    exp: exp
  }

  const sHeader = JSON.stringify(oHeader)
  const sPayload = JSON.stringify(oPayload)
  const videosdk_api_token = KJUR.jws.JWS.sign('HS256', sHeader, sPayload, sdkApiSecret)
  return videosdk_api_token
}

```

And we are sure to got a token string,  
But When we call The API use this token,we got the same error:

Error: Request failed with status code 401

Could you please help me to research about it

We found these from the link you gave me

> JWTs consist of three core parts: **Header** , **Payload** , and **Signature**. When combined, these parts are separated by a period to form a token: `1111111.2222222.3333333` .

So we fix the method like this:

```auto
require('dotenv').config();
const KJUR = require('jsrsasign')
const base64url = require('base64url');

export default function generateVideoSdkApiJwt() {

  const sdkApiKey = 'Jmoscb1Kdl1KxWuUsi0bX5DqlI9X2j9vpXpX';
  const sdkApiSecret = "CDmZIv1vWUNIm317SCv0V98UBkrkUs1fn0qz";

  const iat = Math.round((new Date().getTime() - 30000) / 1000)
  const exp = iat + 60 * 60 * 2
  const oHeader = { alg: 'HS256', typ: 'JWT' }

  const oPayload = {
    iss: sdkApiKey,
    exp: exp,
    iat: iat
  }

  const sHeader = JSON.stringify(oHeader)
  const sPayload = JSON.stringify(oPayload)
  const videosdk_api_token = KJUR.jws.JWS.sign('HS256', sHeader, sPayload, sdkApiSecret)

  const header = base64url(sHeader)
  const payload = base64url(sPayload)
  return header + '.' + payload + '.' + videosdk_api_token
}

```

But we got the same error:  
Error: Request failed with status code 401

I wondered if you can help us.
