Receiving a "code": 200, "message": "No privilege.

API and Webhooks

I am using the trial Zoom Developer version.

I really appreciate the help solving this as I want to upgrade to the Pro / API plan, but I need to confirm that it works. Thanks!

I am attempting to create a user and I am getting an error “code”: 200, “message”: “No privilege.”

I am making the api call using the requests python library.

Below is the log from https://developer.zoom.us/me/call-logs/

Have you tried adding a user from the Zoom UI? If you cannot do it there, it may because you don’t have a credit card on file…

Sorry, I have a question on how where should I go to set up the credit card?
Do you mean that if I do not set the credit card data, I will always get the 400 error with message “No privilege” with POST https://api.zoom.us/v2/users API?

Hey @alexlee11111, Thanks for posting and using Zoom!

In order to call the Zoom API’s you have to have at least a Pro Account. If you’d like, you can request a free trail account to test out the API’s.

You can access your billing page here https://zoom.us/billing.

Thanks,
Tommy
