Getting error code 200 Invalid api key or secret when trying to create meeting with api

Hey @fow,

Make sure you are setting the API Key and Secret as the Basic auth header when doing the OAuth flow.

@fow

Gave up using the OAuth generated token and simply used a JWT token generated by the app and pasted that into the code. It now works.
I have been to https://jwt.io/ to look at how to programmatically create a token. Looks complicated.

Is it safe to use the token generated by the app for a long time? i.e. make the expiry date last for 1 year?

Edit (found the answer that this is NOT ok): “Within the App Credentials page of your JWT app, you will see an option to View JWT Token. Here you can quickly generate a temporary token using the current API Key and Secret for the given expiration time. This single temporary token can then be used to test Zoom APIs, but should never be used in production applications.”

Yes, when using JWT Tokens, it is best to generate the token each time you make a request.

Thanks,
Tommy
