How can I create a meeting that allows registration?

Hi @tommy … We’ve been discussing this over on this thread.

Our observation is that new meeting API calls with approval types 0 & 1 always result in a new meeting being created – but always with approval type 2, a non-registration open meeting.

Paid Pro account with single user. Here’s my post with JSON from the other thread.


I have this same problem. Paid account, request meeting with registration, approval_type 1 (registration required, manually approve, unique URLs), but the response is approval_type 2 (no registration, generic meeting URL).

My goal is to use an external database to manage meeting creation, registration, and participant meeting communications. I need to have registration enabled so every participant has their own access URL, i.e. no sharing of a generic meeting URL.

Request:

curl --location --request POST ‘https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me/meetings’
–header ‘Content-Type: application/json’
–header ‘Authorization: Bearer redacted
–data-raw ‘{
“topic”: “Test API Meeting request type 1, get type 2”,
“type”: 2,
“start_time”: “2020-06-15T18:00:00”,
“duration”: 60,

“password”: “ redacted ”,
“agenda”: “approval type request is 1, response is 2. This is a paid account with one user.”
