Missing meeting's start_time/duration or occurrences in v2 API response

API and Webhooks
1

Some of the meeting details fields are not returned for certain meetings.
The fields missing are:
Occurrences: for recurrent type 8 meetings it just returns empty array
start_time/duration: for non-recurrent type 2 meetings are just omitted

This is the endpoint: /v2/meetings/{meetingId}

This is a response example I only masked the sensitive fields:

Hey @nafez.deeb,

Can you please share your request body so I can reproduce the issue?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hey @tommy thanks for your response.
This is a GET endpoint it has no request body only one path parameter: meetingId & the oauth_access_token.
https://api.zoom.us/v2/meetings/{meetingId}
For the meetingId it’s 93059961659 but I can’t share the access token. That’s all I used to query this endpoint.
Thanks

Hey @nafez.deeb,

Thanks, but I need to know how you are creating the meeting. That is where I will be able to debug. :slight_smile:

Are you using the API to create the meeting, or the Zoom Web Portal or some other way?

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi @tommy ,
We are using the API as well to create zoom meetings using this POST endpoint “/v2/users/me/meetings”

This is an example of the request body we use to create meetings:

{ type: 8,
topic: ‘test zoom’,
agenda: ‘test zoom’,
duration: 30,
start_time: ‘2020-06-19T21:00:00.000Z’,
password: ‘MVs4JJjt’,
timezone: ‘UTC’,
recurrence:
{ type: 2,
repeat_interval: 1,
end_times: undefined,
end_date_time: ‘2020-12-11T22:30:00.000Z’,
weekly_days: ‘6,2,4’,
monthly_day: undefined,
monthly_week: undefined,
monthly_week_day: null },
settings:
{ host_video: true,
participant_video: true,
cn_meeting: false,
in_meeting: false,
join_before_host: true,
mute_upon_entry: false,
watermark: false,
use_pmi: false,
approval_type: 2,
registration_type: 1,
audio: ‘both’,
auto_recording: ‘none’,
enforce_login: true,
close_registration: false,
waiting_room: false },
tracking_fields: null }

Hey @nafez.deeb,

Make sure you are passing in the correct values for all the fields. I see you are passing in undefined for a few of them which is most likely the issue.

Thanks,
Tommy
