Hey @nsoni, thanks for posting and using Zoom! 🙂

For server side applications (python) I would suggest using our [JWT App Type](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) to generate a JWT Token which you can use without the OAuth flow.

Here is where to find your JWT Token:

> Thanks @nvanderson, yes you can do that! @vaibhav.bhosale, go here: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create](https://marketplace.zoom.us/develop/create), create a JWT app, then on the “App Credentials” page you will see an already generated JWT token: Thanks, Tommy

[You can also generate JWT Tokens with Python.](https://jwt.io/)

Then to make requests, set the following auth/headers:

```auto
{
   "Authorization": "Bearer JWT_TOKEN_HERE"
}

```

Let me know if this helps!

Thanks,  
Tommy
