Can you track the given request and find out the where is the gap actually. Please guide us on the same.

Hey @ashishk,

Try switching your user to “Pro” in your user settings. You have the free trail which is good, but your user needs to be at least a pro user to use APIs (free while in free trial).

Hey @ashishk,

How are you setting the access_token?

It needs to be set in the Headers of the request like this:

"Authorization": "Bearer ACCESS_TOKEN_HERE"

Hi @amol.garud84,

How are you generating your API Key/Secret?

You can access a test one for your account here[1] or generate a new one programmatically here[2].

2 - https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt#generating-jwts

Let us know if this helps.

Thanks
