Hello,
Completely new to zoom API here…
Is there a way to query the LOCAL zoom application for upcoming meetings?
I understand that they are REST APIs that allows me to query zoom.us for the information, but to do so, (if I understand properly) I would need to know the user credentials… which I do not have…
Can my application (running under the same user/computer as a zoom install) query the current’s user zoom application to know when the next meetings are?
Thanks,
Cyrille
Hi @cyrille
Thanks for reaching out to us!
You can only query upcoming meetings that belong to your account.
If you are developing an app and you want users from different accounts to use your app, you will need to submit your app for review to have your app published in the marketplace

Hello,
My app runs on a “user’s computer”. It’s primary purpose is to control keybaords, among other things for people with visual issues…
I was asked to add a new feature whereby my app would blink the keyboard (which has backlighting) when a meeting is about to start…
How do I query the local zoom install to know that a meeting is about to start?

Hi @cyrille
Thanks for clarifying.
You could probably use the meeting.started webhook event
that way you will know when the meeting starts without having to make any API calls
Hello,
Tell me if I am wrong, but it looks like this API is to be used in a zoom marketplace app…
I do not have a zoom marketplace app. My app is an executable on the local computer (on which zoom.exe is running).
What APIS do I need to use to query the local zoom.exe (using the current user’s credential, not having to login in my app).
Thanks,
Cyrille
Oh @cyrille
I see! Yes, these APIs are accessible by using some of the app types found in the Zoom Marketplace.
Zoom APIs serve web-based integrations and might not directly interact with locally installed applications like zoom.exe
Hello,
Are they API that allow to interact with the locally installed zoom.exe application?
Thanks,
Cyrille
@cyrille,
Are you referring to the Zoom client? If so, yes, we have the Zoom App SDK, which allows you to call APIs that interact with the Zoom Client.
Zoom APP SDK Rerference:
Hello,
I had a look at this, can you confirm if my understanding is correct or not…
As far as I can tell, this SDK is a set of javascript API…
But my app is not a web app, it’s a native C/C++ app running on the PC.
Is there a way, a SDK that I can use to comunicate with the zoom client (zoom.exe) from a native C/C++ app running on the computer?
Thanks,
Cyrille
@cyrille ,
When you say communicate, what specific experiences or actions are you looking to execute from your native C/C++ app running on the PC? Also, have you consider leveraging the Zoom Windows Meeting SDK for your integration ?
Hello,
I am asked to make an blinking light (a physical object) that will connect to a PC (USB) on which a user is using zoom and that will blink when the user has a meeting about to start.
This is for people with disabilities…
My application (which does a lot of others things for other similar devices), runs on the PC, needs to be able to get the “status” from zoom.exe so as to control the light.
A lot of our users are not very computer literate, so everything has to be as simple as possible.
Hence the desire to just talk to the local zoom install without going through the SDK as the zoom install already has login information, so that my app does not have to re-authenticate, which would create unnecessary hassle for the user…
The Zoom windows SDK would require my app to authenticate with the zoom cloud/servers, which is what I am trying to avoid here.
