Guidance on Handling Zoom Meeting Rate Limits for High-Volume User Registrations

API and Webhooks
2

Hi there,

I think one of two things are happening:

  1. You’re hitting the limit on meeting creation due to using POST to https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings when https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/<user email address>/meetings might be more appropriate (rather than creating the meeting as your API user on behalf of the user, instead create it directly as the user). I recently wrote a response to another user with a similar issue here.

I don’t disagree that it’d be nice to have an option to pay a little more for tiers of increased Meetings API daily limits.

  1. You’re hitting the limit on the user creation endpoint using the create action:
  • 50 requests per day for Free accounts.
  • 1,500 requests per day for Pro accounts.
  • 10,000 requests per day for Business+ accounts.

But if you’re actually using the action custCreate you must be working with Zoom ISV which surely has higher limitations?

Hope this helps!
