hello

is it possible to invoke the start\_url from python ?  
use case:- I am able to create a meeting using the rest api  
the response of create meeting request gives me start\_url and join\_url  
I would like to start the meeting , share the join\_url with other participants so that people can join the meeting

Please let know if this is possible. if this question was already asked, pointing to any URL / thread would be helpful

Regards  
Manohar

Hi @manohar.kr ,

Welcome to the Zoom Developer Community.

At this time although we do not have a ready to use example for python, you can always build a custom implementation for the same.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Regards,  
Ojus

Hello Ojus,  
I tried calling the start\_url from python  
I am getting a html response  
the response is available in the link below  
[response content](https://drive.google.com/open?id=1466Jkbiuiphv8i6bhJPsUnAv5tplMGCH)  
please let know if what I am doing is correct

I also saw one more user who tried the same.  
One of your colleagues responded that there was a problem with the start\_url and a fix is ready to be deployed sometime in Jun 2018
