Hi,

Can you describe your use case with more details?

Here is a quick overview:

a. Our APIs are mosty for pre meetings and post meeting operations (like create / update / delete meeting , view recordings , participants etc)  
b. Webhooks and websockets provide you will real time notifications (like meetings started / ended, participant joined /left)  
c. SDKs can be used to have zoom meeting experience in your app.
