I’m using the API to create meetings and can’t work out how to remove the need for the attendee to ‘Register’

This is my end point - v2/users/me/meetings

This is my data -

{  
“topic”: “1. NAME : Test Event”,  
“type”: 2,  
“start\_time”: “2. Result : 2025-05-01T14:00:00+10:00”,  
“duration”: 180,  
“timezone”: “Australia/Brisbane”,  
“settings”: {  
“host\_video”: true,  
“participant\_video”: true,  
“join\_before\_host”: true,  
“mute\_upon\_entry”: true,  
“waiting\_room”: false,  
“approval\_type”: 0,  
“meeting\_authentication”: true,  
“auto\_recording”: “cloud”,  
“audio”: “voip”,  
“alternative\_hosts”: “meetup@developernetwork.com.au”,  
“in\_meeting”: false,  
“close\_registration”: true,  
“registrants\_email\_notification”: false,  
“registrants\_confirmation\_email”: false,  
“registration\_type”: 0,  
“use\_pmi”: false,  
“enforce\_login”: false,  
“authentication\_option”: “”,  
“approved\_or\_denied\_countries\_or\_regions”: {  
“enable”: false  
}  
}  
}

The above is working to create the event but the ‘Registration Required’ checkbox is ticked. How can I remove that so the attendees don’t need to register?

Hi @RobFlux  
Thanks for reaching out to us!  
Could you please change the value of the approval\_type field to 2. Having it set to 0 is enabling registration
