I have a Server to Server Oauth app working as expected to query the standard Zoom API’s and am trying now to use the same access with Zoom GraphQL but getting errors saying the app is missing the scope for recordings.  
I can query any account user’s recordings using the same app and normal API’s so the scopes are right.  
What am I missing here please?

Looks like this is a known issue as posted by @Radek

I did try to search for this on the forum before opening a topic, guess the search function is buggy too 😀

hi Kevin  
so is your understanding the same? Currently we cannot use Zoom GraphQL at all?  
Thank you  
Radek

Yes, it does not work with anything I have tested it with. I’ve read it does not support granular scopes but I can’t find any information on what it does support so it’s just trial and error (mainly error) for now

as suggested here ["Invalid access token, userMeetingRecordings field does not contain required scopes." - #33 by ojus.zoom](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/invalid-access-token-usermeetingrecordings-field-does-not-contain-required-scopes/112401/33) we should use REST API.
