I’m creating the user in the zoom account first. then adding the user to my application. my app sends create meeting requests to the REST API and then returns the meeting details. I tested this and it all worked with my zoom user. But, when I went in to add a new user I could not find where to get the hostID/userID. I need this ID to add to my app so that it is sent in request to set up a meeting. Is there a place where I can request the ID by email?   thank you, natalie ---

There is a way to get User by email. [https://zoom.github.io/api/#get-user-by-email-address-and-login-type](https://zoom.github.io/api/#get-user-by-email-address-and-login-type)     Also when user is created, you should get the user object back, including ID ---
