Hi guys  
please help how we can create zoom meeting via curl api. We are using Okta SSO to login to zoom. Maybe someone has doc or example how to do it? Trying for more then a week already

curl --header “Content-Type: application/json” --header “Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN” --request POST --data ‘{“topic”:“xyz”,“type”:1}’ [https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/$ME/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/%24ME/meetings)

where i can create token? JWT tokens will be deprecated in June ☹  
how zoom api will understand “me” user ?

thanks

Instead of using `/$ME` you will want to just use `/me`

Let me know if that helps 🙂

If not, please share the response you’re getting

Sorry I missed your previous messages. We have a guide on using OAuth here:

[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth/](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth/)

For a more direct replacement of JWT you may want to look into [Server to Server OAuth](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/server-to-server-oauth-app/)

I hope that helps! We should have an example app for server to server OAuth to share soon.
