**Description**  
I’m making a fetch request with the required query parameters to the authorization code endpoint in the zoom API, but I can’t seem to figure out how to actually access the authorization code returned by zoom so that I can use it to get an access token since it is given as a query parameter in the redirect uri.  
Sorry if this is a bit of a newbie question.  
Any help is greatly appreciated!

**Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?**  
OAuth

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
[https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize](https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize)

Hey @WeJamUS,

You can google “how to get query param value in url with {insert coding language you are using}”.

For example in vanilla JavaScript you can use the following:
