Not unique Meeting UUID in GET /users/{userId}/meetings

API and Webhooks Meetings
1

Hello,

We have issue with list meetings endpoint (GET /users/{userId}/meetings)

(docs url: Zoom Meeting API)

So here (in docs) we can see that the response has a UUID field inside the MEETINGS field.

According to the documentation this field is a unique Meeting ID and each meeting instance will generate its own Meeting UUID.

But currently, when I call this endpoint for user (meeting host), meetings with the same IDs has also the same UUIDs:

(Here is example of API response)
{
“uuid”: “00x2N0yUQR+9TlqusS2BRg==”,
“id”: 98809660078,
“start_time”: “2022-05-26T00:00:00Z”
…
},
{
“uuid”: “00x2N0yUQR+9TlqusS2BRg==”,
“id”: 98809660078,
“start_time”: “2022-05-19T00:00:00Z”,
….
}

You can see that there are 2 different meetings from the same response (since the date is different). But they have the same UUID.

Moreover, if we call another endpoint from your API GET /past_meetings/{meetingId}/instances

(docs url: Zoom Meeting API)

And we call it by the same meeting ID as on previous example (96474880335)
(Also example of API response):

“meetings”: [
{
“uuid”: “/fdqz+tjTSeCnGQv0leguw==”,
“start_time”: “2022-01-14T17:34:20Z”
},
{
“uuid”: “009z+Q6pQx+qXTpGF67MUg==”,
“start_time”: “2021-11-05T12:06:28Z”
},
{
“uuid”: “0dzYbmaeTp6GDTcPkHZ1YQ==”,
“start_time”: “2022-09-02T16:21:37Z”
},
{
“uuid”: “1GRmrps6QPKvODgxZcdqPg==”,
“start_time”: “2021-11-05T16:42:58Z”
}, …

We can see that in response every record has unique UUID value (but same id - 96474880335 from request).

So could you take a look and let us know if there is an issue with UUID in (GET /users/{userId}/meetings) endpoint?

Thank you in advance

@leobit ,

Welcome to the Zoom Developer Forum – happy to help. First, can you share if the meeting is recurring or not? In the meantime, here is a helpful developer article on this topic :

Yes, meetings type is 8, so it’s recurring meetings with fixed time. Correct me if I’m wrong but according to article you’ve sent UUID should be unique for each instance of a meeting. Is it related to the uniqueness of the UUID if the meeting is recurring?

@leobit,

Thank you for your response. Correct, the UUID should be unique for each instance of a meeting. In looking at the List Meeting response, it looks like the dates for the meeting are not the same. (One record has a start time of “start_time”: “2022-05-26T00:00:00Z” and the other has “start_time”: “2022-05-19T00:00:00Z”. )Can you share if the date for the recurring meeting was updated?

Date wasn’t updated. This example shows a meeting that happens every week, so the date is different. In the example, I gave only 2, but there are a lot of meeting and they occur every 7 days. Still for each instance UUID is not unique.

Thanks for the additional details, @leobit – That is strange! As a next step, can submit a support ticket to have this case looked at closer? You can submit a request via the link below:
