Hey @weallteach Thanks for posting on the Zoom Devforum! I am still learning, but I will try my best to help answer your question. 🙂 Checkout these related threads that may have the answer you are looking for: > [@Invalid access token for account API](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/1827): > > Hi, i want to ask why if i test all API Accounts always return “Invalid access token.”… but if i use the same token to access user Api or anything, it worked. I’m using pro account n as an owner when test the account API. Is it a bug ? Or there is a missing parameter in documentation API ? My code is like this : GET [https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts?access\_token=xxx&page\_number=1&page\_size=30](https://api.zoom.us/v2/accounts?access_token=xxx&page_number=1&page_size=30) Thanks > [@Invalid Access Token While Tested Through Zoom API -\> Get Sub Account](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/8665): > > Hi, My mail ID ([debasish.bh@orionedutech.com](mailto:debasish.bh@orionedutech.com)) is registered as licensed user. I created a JWT token. While tried to validate through Zoom API-\>Accoutns-\>Get A Sub Account, it shows “Invalid Access Token”. SS is attached for reference. Kindly assist.

Somehow when I tried to call another API with the same access token it does work. I am using OAuth to get the access token If these threads did not help, please let us know by replying back here and someone from the Developer Relations team will get back to you shortly.
