Hello, I wanted to bring to your attention that we’re experiencing some random instances of the issue described here:

> [@\`scope\` occasionally missing when refreshing an access token](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/scope-occasionally-missing-when-refreshing-an-access-token/14823):
>
> Description On some attempts to refresh an access token (i.e. POST https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant\_type=refresh\_token&refresh\_token=....), we receive a 200 response with a payload containing a JSON object with the keys access\_token, refresh\_token, token\_type, expires\_in. But scope is missing from the object. Error scope should be present [according to the documentation](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/oauth#refreshing). Which App Type (OAuth / Chatbot / JWT / Webhook)? OAuth Which Endpoint/s? https://zoom.us/oauth/token

Please advice.  
Thank you.

Hey @ZoomAdmin,

Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Are you able to provide an example of a response that you get that has the Scope excluded? When you say that this is random, are you able to reproduce it at will in any of the instances? Any steps to reproduce the issue will help to troubleshoot.

Thanks,  
Max

Hi @MaxM ,

Sure. Please let me know how to send you a private message.

Responses with the missing field come sporadically. Unfortunately, it isn’t something we can reproduce at will. We have seen some error entries on our logs. That’s how we are aware of the issue.

Thanks

Hey @ZoomAdmin,

Thank you for the update. If you have private information that will help us to troubleshoot the issue, the best bet is to send an email to [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us) with the information and a link to this thread. I’ll be sure to troubleshoot the issue from there.

Thanks,  
Max
