**Description**  
I am using Dashboard API to list down all meetings in a given time range but in response I am not able to get meeting type whether it is Instant, Scheduled or Recurring. Why the API designed this way to not return meeting type or is it a limitation?

**Which Endpoint/s?**  
[https://api.zoom.us/v2/metrics/meetings](https://api.zoom.us/v2/metrics/meetings)

**How To Reproduce (If applicable)**  
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

```auto
https://api.zoom.us/v2/metrics/meetings?page_size=30&from=2021-01-06&type=past

```

```auto
{
  "from": "2021-01-06",
  "meetings": [
    {
      "dept": "SSC",
      "duration": "04:02",

Hey @mjoshi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. That’s Correct, this does seem to be a limitation of that API. However, if you’re just looking to obtain information about a past meeting, the [Get a Meeting API](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting) will allow you to check the `type` of a past meeting.

Thanks,  
Max
