**Description** Not all Poll results get returned through the API **Error** I’m using the GET /past\_meetings/:meetingId/polls API to get the zoom poll results using the uuid of the meeting. But for some meetings, the API returns incomplete or empty data in the questions array but when the poll reports for the same is being downloaded through the UI: Admin -\> Account Management -\> Reports -\> Poll Reports the meeting poll results are present in the excel file. And those same users are missing when fetching the participant list using GET metrics/meetings/:meetingID/participants (type=past). **Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)?** Hitting the API through OAuth (in postman) **Which Endpoint/s?** GET /past\_meetings/:meetingId/polls GET metrics/meetings/:meetingId/participants ---

Hey @anurag.gupta 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: > [@Meeting Poll Results are empty in the API responses for Meetings without manually generated Poll Reports](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/-/17603): > > Description Both endpoints for retrieving past meeting poll results return non-empty questions array only after the manual generation of the report via UI.
