Hi @laeggan, in JSON boolean values can only be either true or false. 0 or 1 will be returned as invalid. Hope this helps!

Reference: JSON Schema

Using 0 and 1 worked fine for the create meeting API call.
I changed to true/false and still same error. Here is (JSON checked) new object:
{“email_notification”:{“email_notification”:false,“alternative_host_reminder”:false,“cancel_meeting_reminder”:false,“jbh_reminder”:false,“schedule_for_reminder”:false},“in_meeting”:{“allow_live_streaming”:false,“annotation”:false,“attendee_on_old”:false,“auto_saving_chat”:true,“breakout_room”:true,“chat”:true,“closed_caption”:false,“co_host”:false,“custom_data_center_regions”:false,“e2e_encryption”:false,“entry_exit_chime”:“none”,“far_end_camera_control”:false,“feedback”:true,“group_hd”:false,“non_verbal_feedback”:false,“polling”:true,“private_chat”:false,“record_play_voice”:true,“remote_control”:false,“remote_support”:false,“show_meeting_control_toolbar”:true,“virtual_background”:false,“waiting_room”:true},“recording”:{“auto_delete_cmr”:false,“auto_recording”:“none”,“cloud_recording”:true,“local_recording”:true,“record_audio_file”:true,“record_gallery_view”:false,“record_speaker_view”:true,“recording_password_requirement”:{“have_letter”:true,“have_number”:true,“have_special_character”:true,“length”:8,“only_allow_numeric”:false},“save_chat_text”:true,“show_timestamp”:false},“schedule_meeting”:{“audio_type”:“both”,“embed_password_in_join_link”:true,“force_pmi_jbh_password”:true,“host_video”:true,“join_before_host”:false,“not_store_meeting_topic”:false,“participants_video”:false,“personal_meeting”:true,“pmi_password”:“zOLEtrue”,“pstn_password_protected”:true,“require_password_for_instant_meetings”:true,“require_password_for_pmi_meetings”:“all”,“require_password_for_scheduling_new_meetings”:true,“use_pmi_for_instant_meetings”:false,“use_pmi_for_scheduled_meetings”:false}}

Hey @laeggan,

I just tried with your JSON and it worked:

    "require_password_for_scheduling_new_meetings": true,
    "use_pmi_for_instant_meetings": false,
    "use_pmi_for_scheduled_meetings": false
  }
}

Please try the JSON above and let me know if it works.

Thanks,

I tried what you had and I still get the same error:
{“code”:300,“message”:“Request Body should be a valid JSON object.”}

I am getting the same problem trying to schedule a meeting. The object works fine when I past it into the test facility, but when I use it from code I get this error:
{“code”:300,“message”:“Request Body should be a valid JSON object.”}
I also ran the object through the JSON validate site. Here is the object:
{“settings”:{“host_video”:true,“participant_video”:true,“cn_meeting”:false,“in_meeting”:false,“join_before_host”:true,“mute_upon_entry”:false,“watermark”:false,“use_pmi”:true,“approval_type”:0,“registration_type”:1,“audio”:“voip”,“auto_recording”:“none”,“enforce_login”:false,“close_registration”:false,“waiting_room”:true,“registrants_email_notification”:false,“meeting_authentication”:false},“type”:2,“timezone”:“America/Anchorage”,“agenda”:“OLE Class”,“topic”:“Humor in the Time of Covid”,“start_time”:“2020-05-26T13:00:00”,“duration”:45,“password”:“20201523”}

Never mind. I got it figured. When going from array object via json_decode, use 0 for false, 1 for true. Then do not addcslashes() the object.
Works great.
