How to generate Zoom Access Token valid for more than 24 hours

API and Webhooks
#1

Hello There,

We need to generate the Zoom Access Token that can be valid for more than 24 hours. We are using this api to get the zak.

https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/token?type=zak

According to below article, the token is valid for 2 hours only.

" ZAKs have an expiration time of 2 hours, from the time of the response. Accounts with “API User” members have expiration times of 90 days."

This 90 days case is not clear to me, please explain.

Thanks.

Hi @namrata, thanks for the post.

Since the ZAK is retrieved from the API, I would recommend posting this in #api-and-webhooks so that one of my extremely knowledgeable colleagues can assist you with your usage of our REST API. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks!

Hi @namrata,

ZAK tokens will need to be refreshed by making a new request, if it’s over 2 hours since it was generated. To clarify, the 90 day expiration is specific to our custCreate user types, which is functionality that is exclusive to our ISV/API Partners.

Let me know if this helps to clarify,
Will
