Hey @julie1

Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂

Checkout this related thread that may have the answer you are looking for:

> [@"Invalid client\_id or client\_secret"](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/5252):
>
> [https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant\_type=authorization\_code&code=](https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code=){my code}&redirection\_uri={my callback URL} Making a POST Request to the above URL shows { "reason": "Invalid client\_id or client\_secret", "error": "invalid\_client" } I’m not quite sure what the issue is. I had copy pasted the correct client ID before generating the code.

If this thread did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.

Thanks,
