Getting the error {‘code’: 124, ‘message’: ‘Invalid access token.’} when using zoom ouath app. I am using oauth app to view channels, send message to channels, send private message etc However I am getting zoom error “invalid access token” even after refreshing the token. I even tried revoking the token followed by generating the token and then refreshing. Still getting the same error. Please tell me why I am getting this error and how to remove it? ---

Hi @mailagent Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum and welcome to our community, I am happy to help here! Could you please make sure that you have the right scopes added to your app before authorizing and trying to call the API? ---

Yes, I have the right scopes added. The scopes I have are : View current user’s chat channels/chat\_channel:read View and manage current user’s chat channels/chat\_channel:write View current user’s chat contact information/chat\_contact:read View current user’s chat messages/chat\_message:read View and manage current user’s chat messages/chat\_message:write View current user’s contacts/contact:read View your user information/user:read View and manage your user information/user:write View user info/user\_info:read View user’s zak token/user\_zak:read I was able to view channels, send message to channels, send private message till 13 August 2022. However after that I am getting {‘code’: 124, ‘message’: ‘Invalid access token.’} . I even created a fresh oauth app, in that too I am getting the same error. Please tell me how to remove this error. ---

Hi Elisa, After reading your private message instructions, I removed the app from my account and added it again and tried calling the endpoint again. It returned me the access token. But when I tried to use it, to view channels, it gave the error again : {‘code’: 124, ‘message’: ‘Invalid access token.’}. Please tell me how to remove the error. ---

I just looked into your app and it looks like it is working now. What endpoint are you calling that is throwing you this error? Just to double check could you please add your app again? thanks Elisa ---

Hi Elisa, I double checked and added my app again. This time it is working. The endpoints which I used were [https://zoom.us/oauth/token](https://zoom.us/oauth/token) for generating acces\_token and [https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/me/channels](https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/me/channels) for getting channels. I will contact you in case I face any issues again. Thank you ---

Hi Elisa, I am not able to send private messages, rest of the endpoints are working. I am getting the error "{“code”:300,“message”:“User does not exist”} for the private message endpoint “[https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/me/messages](https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/me/messages)” even though the contact is present and right permissions are given to app. I was able to send private messages earlier. Please tell me how to remove this error for private messages. ---

Hi @mailagent Thanks for sharing more details with me. Please make sure that you are adding the query parameter at\_contact when sending a private message to another contact within your account, or you could also try to\_contact Here is a link to our docs: > **[Zoom Chat API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/chat/methods/#operation/sendaChatMessage)** > > API Reference for /api-reference/chat/methods ---

Hi Elisa, I am using “to\_contact” to send message to a contact. That gave the error {“code”:300,“message”:"User does not exist.} . Then I also tried adding “at\_contact” but then also I received the same error {“code”:300,“message”:"User does not exist}. The user exists in my account. Stil I am getting this error. Please tell me how to fix this error, at least for case 1 i.e. using to\_contact only. ---

Hello, I am facing a similar issue. I am working with OAuth, my ultimate goal is to generate meeting reports. However I keep getting the code124. Therefore I decided to slim down my scopes to test if i can access my meetings first. The error still pops up. These are the scopes: - View your meetings /meeting:read - View and manage your meetings /meeting:write - View your user information /user:read - View user info /user\_info:read I am using postman to first test the output, ultimately I would like to create a python script. I would be grateful for your help. P.S. I had an app about 2 months prior to the present day and i was able to get the info. ---
