The fully customizable Video SDKs are a great addition to the Zoom family but they feel incomplete without a proper REST API that could allow devs to manage Sessions on the server side. Most needed operations are:

- Start/stop sessions
- Get a list of currently running sessions and their respective amount of minutes used;
- Get a list of all participants who joined a session, with their join/leave datetimes;
- Mute/unmute participants in a current session;
- Start/stop streaming to third party services
- Get the cumulative amount of minutes used by the current account in the current month (or any previous month - i.e. billing info);
