Not a "valid JSON object"

API and Webhooks
1

I am testing with creating a new Meeting via the API.

I am getting this error:
{"code":300,"message":"Request Body should be a valid JSON object."}

With this JSON, which seems valid and passes validation:

{
	"topic": "Test 28/8",
	"type": "1",
	"start_time": "2020-08-28T16:30:00",
	"timezone": "Asia/Jerusalem",
	"duration": "60",
	"password": "112233",
	"settings": {
		"host_video": "true",
		"participant_video": "true",
		"cn_meeting": "false",
		"in_meeting": "false",
		"join_before_host": "true",
		"mute_upon_entry": "true",
		"watermark": "true",
		"use_pmi": "boolean",
		"approval_type": "0",
		"registration_type": "0",
		"audio": "both",
		"auto_recording": "none",
		"registrants_email_notification": "false"
	}
}

Can someone shed some light on this?
Thanks!

The suggested link didnt help, thanks.
But I may have a solution. I was sending the JSON in string form, which is sometimes acceptable in API scenario’s. It seems that if I send as a JSON object, the above code may work.

Hey @coda,

Yes, the Zoom API is expecting the request body in JSON format. :slight_smile:

Thanks,
Tommy
