Name (original name) in the meeting report works differently with Zoom API compared to the Zoom website

API and Webhooks
1

Hi,
when I download reports from zoom website I can see the name that a participant had when entered the meeting and his/her name after he/she renamed.
in zoom API I could only see the name at the beginning, and I can’t find the renamed one.
Where can I retrieve via Zoom API the renamed participant name ? Is it possible to retrieve this name from another endpoint as well?

Thanks,
Elio

Hi @PERRONE
Thanks for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum, I am happy to help here!
Could you please share with me what endpoint are you calling when trying to get this participant name so I can debug this issue further please!?

Best,
Elisa

Hi Elisa,

we are now calling https://api.zoom.us/v2/metrics/meetings/{meetingId}/participants?type=past

we tried also to call https://api.zoom.us/v2/report/meetings/{meetingId}/participants and https://api.zoom.us/v2/past_meetings/{meetingUUID}/participants and the QOS particpants endpoint

No one of the endpoints we tried to call had the renamed participants.

Thanks,
Elio

Hi @PERRONE

Ah I see. I was able to replicate this issue. I could see the rename on the Reports generated through the UI but not through the API calls.
It is important to note that not all of our APIs match 100% with the UI
Please feel free to add a feature request here:

Best,
Elisa
