How to get meeting Id from registration url or id?

[integrationdev (Ajay)]

Description
I can’t seem to find an API to obtain meetingId by providing the registration URL or registration Id from the API docs.

Ex:- I have created a meeting with id:- 97371445064
and the registration URL is: https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJMucOisqj4qHND4bNbQphN4ffoH7W2TI3wC

So I want if the user provides the registration Id i.e tJMucOisqj4qHND4bNbQphN4ffoH7W2TI3wC then by hitting the API with this value I can get the mapped meeting id corresponding to it.

Any help appreciated!

Join URL for meeting registrant

Hey, When we register a user for meeting, we pass his email, first name and last name to endpoint and in case of success we get a unique join_url for this registrant. No problems here. However, when registrant opens this url, Zoom application launches and for some reason it doesn’t pick up passed info (email and name) from URL (I mean the token in URL). By picking up the info I mean automatic authentication and name setup in Zoom app. This perfectly works with start_url of the meeting - Zoom ap…

Create meeting API meeting ID inconsistencies

Description Sometimes (we aren’t able to determine when this happens), when creating a meeting using the API with only the default “settings”, the information in the response does not match the information in the UI. The returned “ID” in the response is a newly generated number, but the join_url in the response has the user’s PMI (despite leaving settings.use_pmi as the default (false)). In the UI, both the join_url and the ID are the user’s PMI. This is confusing our users. This does not happe…

Hey @integrationdev,

We don’t have an endpoint for retrieving meeting details based on registration ID, though this is a great suggestion.

What is your exact use case? Are you trying to capture attendance? Let me know!

Thanks,

@will.zoom Yes we are trying to capture attendance.

Is there any other way in which this can be achieved?

Hey @integrationdev,

Thanks for clarifying—you might try using some of our webhook events to track attendance.

Please see these two posts for suggestions on how to map ids across events and meetings:

Matching Participant Joined webhook data with

Description I am trying to record meeting attendance through the API by using webhooks instead of having to wait an hour to then retrieve a “Past Meeting Participant” list. I am having trouble using the data that is returned from a meeting.participant_joined webhook to match up with the Registrant data that is returned when a registrant is added to a meeting through the POST /meetings/{meetingId}/registrants endpoint. When you add a registrant using that endpoint you are returned with a regis…

Meeting Registrant ID and meeting live participant ID is not matching?

Hey @sankar, The id in the Participant Joined Webhook and the participant report and dashboard endpoints should match the registrant id. [Screen Shot 2020-05-05 at 10.55.40 AM] Thanks, Tommy
