Hi!, we are creating and editing meetings through the Rest API. The problem comes when the user wants to create recurrent meetings and later edit them&nbsp;because for editing a recurrent meeting I need to have the recurrence type that I set when I created the meeting, but the API ([https://zoom.github.io/api/#retrieve-a-meeting](https://zoom.github.io/api/#retrieve-a-meeting)) **only** returns a list with all the occurrences without any information about recurrence type.

_Application flow:_

First, we are calling the web service&nbsp;[https://zoom.github.io/api/#retrieve-a-meeting](https://zoom.github.io/api/#retrieve-a-meeting)&nbsp;to get all the information about the meeting created and displaying it to the user (It must include&nbsp;the recurrence type). Later, the user edits the fields that he wants and return the information again to the server to be edited.

We are in an impasse&nbsp;at this moment, how can we get those values for recurrent meetings again?

Hi Jason,&nbsp;

Currently, our Retrieve a meeting API does have the capability to return the recurrence type. I will reach our to our Engineers to see if we can support this in any of the upcoming releases.&nbsp;

Thanks
