Hi All,

I am having issues getting the create meeting to work with PHP using JWT. I have validated that my Bearer token is valid using [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) but anytime I make a call to create the meeting I get “invalid access token” Can someone take a look at my code below and let me know/point me in the right direction to get his working correctly? Thanks in advance!

```
use \Firebase\JWT\JWT;
class Zoom_Api {
		private $zoom_api_key = '###';
		private $zoom_api_secret = '#####';
		
		protected function sendRequest($data) {
            $request_url = 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings';
            $headers = array(
				'authorization' => 'Bearer ' . $this->generateJWTKey(),
				'content-type' => 'application/json'
            );
           $postFields = json_encode($data);
		   $ch = curl_init();
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $request_url);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, 1);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $postFields);
			curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false); 
			$response = curl_exec($ch);
			$err = curl_error($ch);
			curl_close($ch);
			if(!$response){
				return $err;
			}
			return json_decode($response);
		}

		//function to generate JWT
        private function generateJWTKey() {
            $key = $this->zoom_api_key;
            $secret = $this->zoom_api_secret;
            $token = array(
                "iss" => $key,
                "exp" => time() + 3600 //60 seconds as suggested
            );
            return JWT::encode( $token, $secret );
        }

Try with this:

$headers = array(  
“authorization: {$this-\>generateJWTKey()}”,  
‘content-type: application/json’  
);

The problem is that you’re using ‘=\>’ in the definition of your $headers array.

One note though I had to keep the Bearer text like so  
$headers = array(  
‘authorization: Bearer ‘.$this-\>generateJWTKey().’’,  
‘content-type:application/json’  
);

This uses the pecl/http2 library:

```php
<?php

$client = new http\Client;
$request = new http\Client\Request;

$body = new http\Message\Body;
$body->append('{"topic":"string","type":"integer","start_time":"string [date-time]","duration":"integer","schedule_for":"string","timezone":"string","password":"string","agenda":"string","recurrence":{"type":"integer","repeat_interval":"integer","weekly_days":"string","monthly_day":"integer","monthly_week":"integer","monthly_week_day":"integer","end_times":"integer","end_date_time":"string [date-time]"},"settings":{"host_video":"boolean","participant_video":"boolean","cn_meeting":"boolean","in_meeting":"boolean","join_before_host":"boolean","mute_upon_entry":"boolean","watermark":"boolean","use_pmi":"boolean","approval_type":"integer","registration_type":"integer","audio":"string","auto_recording":"string","enforce_login":"boolean","enforce_login_domains":"string","alternative_hosts":"string","global_dial_in_countries":["string"],"registrants_email_notification":"boolean"}}');

$request->setRequestUrl('https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/xxxxxxxxxxxx/meetings');
$request->setRequestMethod('POST');
$request->setBody($body);

$request->setHeaders(array(
  'content-type' => 'application/json',
  'authorization' => 'Bearer eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiJ9.eyJhdWQiOm51bGwsImlzcyI6InZlVmFjM1pUUV8tT3JTR1hRaDNvUEEiLCJleHAiOjE1ODczNDU4NTUsImlhdCI6MTU4NzM0MDQ1NX0.UP9SEMsrh10zBfwrIyAeo-pMyOlRYVqXMhW4TGZemM0'
));

$client->enqueue($request)->send();
$response = $client->getResponse();

echo $response->getBody();

```

Hey @yash.sakali,

Please share a screenshot of the blank page issue. Also make sure you are making a POST request to [create the meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate).

Thanks,  
Tommy
