**Description/Error** The api docs for `ZoomMtg.getAttendeeslist()` seems to be incomplete. When I follow the example and call `ZoomMtg.getAttendeeslist({})` in a meeting with 3 attendees, the return value is `undefined`. I suspect I need to specify some params but the documentation has no info for it. [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/api-reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/Web-Client-SDK/api-reference) Also, this should following common naming conventions and be named `getAttendeesList` with a capital `L`. **Which Endpoint/s or Web JS SDK?** Web sdk version 1.5.1 ---

Hi @edward, Would you be able to provide the meeting ID so that we can investigate this issue further? Thanks ---

Sure, its \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*- there’s probably a few dozen instances for this meeting ID. I still believe think the API documentation is lacking for using this function in the sense of how to use it and what to expect from it. \*This post has been edited to remove any meeting / webinar IDs ---

Hi @edward, Try using the below code snippet. When you run it you should see an object with method getAttendeeList. Within the object look at the result.attendeeList property. ``` ZoomMtg.getAttendeeslist({ success: function (res) { console.log(res, "get getAttendeeslist"); } }); ``` Let us know if this helps. Thanks ---

Yes this works! This needs to be publicly documented for developers. ---

Hi @edward, Thats great to hear! We’re in the process of revamping our all of our SDK documentation. We should have these updated soon. Thanks ---

+1 for more documentation on this, particularly: what does the result look like. Does it include things like whether the attendee has their hand raised and also any nonverbal communication by the attendee. ---

Hi @skwirrel, This only returns the list of attendees names. Right now we do not have a way to detect if a user raised their hand or any other nonverbal communications. We’ll ask our Engineers to include this in our APIs in a later release. Thanks ---

@michael_p.zoom the snippet provided works. Thanks for that. But can you also update the documentation? The docs seems to be very outdated and contain spelling errors. ---

Hey @ilya1, Happy to hear the code worked for you! 🙂 Yes, we are working on improving the Web SDK reference. Thanks, Tommy ---

It’s really difficult to actually develop with the SDK when the support (documentation) is not maintained! ---

The API docs are still not updated, more than 2 years on. This seems to be the case for many of the web meeting SDK functions. ---

Hey @t.barry-woods, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum and for highlighting this. I’ll bring this up during our next team meeting to get this updated ASAP. Thanks, Max
