Getting participant Location for Meetings via API

API and Webhooks
1

Hi,

I’m using this endpoint to get a list of meetings:

/v2/users/me/meetings?type=past&page_size=500

Then I get the instances via:

/v2/past_meetings/{meetingId}/instances

Then participants:

/v2/past_meetings/{ encodedUuid}/participants?page_size=300

But the data that comes back doesn’t have location information. I’d like Country and state, city if possible. What’s the best way to get this information for meetings I’ve had?

Thanks!

hi @Ben21 ,

I am not aware of this data being collected. It is certainly not availabe for you.
If you want to know this, then you should ask in the registration form.

All the best

Thanks @expertswho .

If I run an export of the meeting to an Excel file or Google Sheet, it has the location data as well as many other columns.

It would seem it should be available in the API. But I suppose not.

If we add this as a registration form question, is there a way to pull the answers via the API? I see we can create questions via the API, but not seeing how to pull responses.

hi @Ben21 ,

You are right. What I don’t have an answer for is to pull that information by user.

I will ask where the data is and what limitations it has.

All the best

Thank you @expertswho .

Even if it’s not by participants, any way in which we can get the data, whether via a dashboard or metrics call. It will help us understand where our zoom attendees are calling in from which is an important part of our business.

Any help you can provide would be wonderful.

As a last resort, I suppose we could do exports for every meeting and coalesce the data, but we’d much prefer to write some automations via the API to build our data out.

hi @Ben21 ,

Currently, I see no location data in the api reports.

https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/reports/get/report/webinars/{webinarId}/participants
https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/reports/get/report/meetings/{meetingId}/participants

If you add a question to the registration form, you can collect the data and see it in the registration report in an array. Sorry, it is not obvious.

https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/meetings/#tag/invitation--registration/get/meetings/{meetingId}/registrants

Hope that gets you forward.

Then let us know what is missing, you are not the only one to ask about location information, so I can see us making a request to engineering to make some changes.
