Hi @ashutosh413 ,

This is likely a result of not having the necessary account privileges. Please see this thread:

> Hi @jagdishrupal, to use the Zoom API, you will need either a Pro account or a Free Trial. Reach out to [customer support](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us) to set this up.

Thanks,  
Will
