Hello All,

I was reviewing my application code ahead of [The Access Token Chaange on Feb 14th 2023](https://devsupport.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/12363164278669-API-access-token-change). As far as I can tell, my code is fine and I do not have to change anything. I wanted to post it here. If it is not fine and you are a Java developer, can you please explain what is wrong. If it is fine, it will be here as a reference for other Java developers.

Thank you

Hey @niall

If `BASIC_AUTH` is the access token with “Bearer” prepended to it, then it seems like you should be okay.

Just to be clear, if you weren’t using that variable it would read `"Authorization", "Bearer <ACCESS TOKEN>"`

Let me know if you have any questions.

> private static final String ZOOM\_USER\_CREDENTIALS = ZOOM\_CLIENT\_ID + “:” + ZOOM\_API\_SECRET;  
> private static final String BASIC\_AUTH = "Basic " + new String(Base64.getEncoder().encode(ZOOM\_USER\_CREDENTIALS.getBytes()));

Thanks Ron 🙌
