You’ll need to [pass sensitive parameters in the request body or request headers](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/security-update-no-token-values-in-url-query-parameters/78782) now to keep it out of log files. For the request body, make sure to use the `POST` method, and set the `Content-Type` header to align with how you’re formatting the request body.
