Issue with Zoom API: Difficulty Handling Scheduled Meeting Data in Custom Web App

API and Webhooks
1

Hello everyone,
I’m currently building a custom web app using the Zoom API, and I’ve run into a problem with handling scheduled meetings. I’m able to successfully create meetings, but when I try to retrieve meeting data after scheduling, I keep receiving an error indicating that the meeting is not found.

I’ve double-checked the meeting ID and authentication tokens, but I’m still having trouble getting the correct data. Has anyone faced a similar issue or could provide advice on how to resolve it?

Thanks

What API endpoint are you using to attempt to retrieve the meeting, and what specific response code (and error code if applicable) are you receiving?

I’m using the GET /meetings/{meetingId} endpoint to retrieve the scheduled meeting details. However, when I make the request, I receive a 404 Not Found response with the error code “meetingNotFound”.

I’ve confirmed that the meeting ID is correct and that it was returned when I initially created the meeting. I’m also using a JWT token for authentication, which works fine for other API requests (like creating meetings).

One thing I’m wondering—could this be related to the meeting being scheduled under a different user or account? Or do I need to ensure the meeting is not in a specific state before retrieving it?

Would appreciate any insights!

This issue often happens if you’re using the Instant Meeting API instead of Scheduled Meeting API or if the meeting hasn’t been fully processed by Zoom’s servers yet. Try adding a short delay before fetching the meeting details. Also, ensure you’re using the correct user ID or host account when making API calls, as meetings created under different users may not be accessible with the wrong credentials.

Thanks for the help! Your suggestion pointed me in the right direction—I realized the issue was due to a delay in processing the scheduled meeting. After adding a short delay before fetching the details, everything is working fine now. Thanks

Hey, I’ve run into this before! Sometimes, it takes a little while for Zoom to process newly created meetings. Try waiting a few seconds before fetching the data. Also, make sure you’re using the correct API endpoint and checking if the meeting was created under the right user. Hope that helps!
