/metrics/meetings api "total_records" doesn't match the number of meetings returned

Zoom API

Description
When querying the meeting details API endpoint the “total_records” returned doesn’t always match the actual count of meetings returned. For many time ranges i’m querying the count of meetings returned by the query is greater than the ‘total_records’ count

Error
No error message, just incorrect / misleading results.

Hey @garrett,

Can you give me more details like how far off the numbers are? In your case, what is the total_records saying vs. what you are counting?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey Tommy,
In the example i gave above the total_records said “117” but the count of actual meetings returned was 135.

I ran a couple more reports this morning and for one timeframe it returned a “total_records” of 144 but returned 168 actual meetings. For another timeframe that had multiple pages of results the total_records said 1936 but when i finished processing all the pages i had a total of 2021 meetings.

Strange, can I get your account # so we can look into this further?

Thanks,

What is your Zoom account #?

Thanks,

@tommy, is there a way to private message/email the account number to you? I’m hesitant about posting it on the site for security reasons.

Thanks!
