Description
I have created a chatbot Application and able send and receive messages using grant type client credentials. but could get any authorisation code to access Zoom API.

Error
{ code: 200, message: ‘Invalid api key or secret.’ }

Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?
Chat Bot

here is the main code:

app.get('/authorize', (req, res) => {
    res.redirect('https://zoom.us/launch/chat?jid=robot_' + process.env.zoom_bot_jid);
});
app.post('/bot', (req, res) => {
    getChatbotToken();
    function getChatbotToken () {
        request({
          url: `https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=client_credentials`,
          method: 'POST',
          headers: {
            'Authorization': 'Basic ' + Buffer.from(process.env.zoom_client_id + ':' + process.env.zoom_client_secret).toString('base64')
          }
        }, (error, httpResponse, body) => {
          if (error) {
            console.log('Error getting chatbot_token from Zoom.', error)
          } else {
            body = JSON.parse(body)
            console.log(body.access_token);
            sendChat(body.access_token)
          }
        })
      }
      function sendChat (chatbotToken) {

        request({
            url: 'https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/',
            method: 'GET',
            json: true,
            headers: {
              'Content-Type': 'application/json',
              'Authorization': 'Bearer ' + chatbotToken
            }
          }, (error, response, body) => {
            if (error) {
              console.log('Error sending chat.', error);
            } else {
              console.log(body);
            }
          })
      } 
});

Hi @rohith,

If you’re calling the Zoom REST APIs, you will need to use a separate access_token from an OAuth app with specific scopes, retrieved using the authorization_code grant type instead. A Chatbot app will only be able to access certain Chat related APIs.

Let me know if this helps to clarify,
