Hi @priyakvb, Thanks for the post. I just tested our demo app and the corresponding part is working. - If you are able to send requests to Zoom REST API([https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/introduction](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/introduction)), then your API key & secret should be fine. - Please have a try with the following steps: 1. Change the SDK\_Key and SDK\_Secret in [https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android/blob/master/mobilertc-android-studio/sample/src/main/java/us/zoom/sdksample/initsdk/AuthConstants.java](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android/blob/master/mobilertc-android-studio/sample/src/main/java/us/zoom/sdksample/initsdk/AuthConstants.java) to be your SDK key & secret 2. Change the API\_Key, API\_Secret and User\_ID to be your credentials:[https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android/blob/master/mobilertc-android-studio/sample/src/main/java/us/zoom/sdksample/startjoinmeeting/apiuser/APIUserConstants.java;](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android/blob/master/mobilertc-android-studio/sample/src/main/java/us/zoom/sdksample/startjoinmeeting/apiuser/APIUserConstants.java;) The User\_ID could be the user ID retrieved from Zoom API or be your email address 3. Schedule a meeting using Zoom client or Zoom API, then launch the demo app, navigate to “API User”, enter the meeting number to start a meeting Please have a try, hope this helps. Thanks! 3. ---

Hi @priyakvb, Thanks for the reply. I have edited your response since you have provided your SDK credentials here. This is a publicly available forum so please do not post any sensitive credentials here. If you need to provide private information in the future, please let me know and I will provide a way to achieve that. **Please re-generate your SDK credentials on the Marketplace as soon as possible since I am not sure how many people have seen your credentials before I see it**. Back to the issue you are facing, thanks for providing the info. I tried to test the tokens you have provided, and the tokens in “JWTAccessToken” and the access token in the “Requesting Zoom Token” are not valid. It is expected to receive empty response if the JWT token is not valid. The access token in the “Request ZAK” is valid but expired. Please make sure you are using API key & secret to form the JWT token when communicating with the Zoom API and please double check the JWT token you are using to retrieve the Zoom token. You may also refer to the instruction here to generate the JWT and test it: - [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/auth/jwt) - [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/postman/using-postman-to-test-zoom-apis](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/guides/postman/using-postman-to-test-zoom-apis) Hope this helps.

Hi Carson, I really appreciate your response, Tested everything from my end and even generated new SDK secret key, but still not getting the zoomToken. Please let me know where to provide the keys i am using and if there is any possibility to share my query on call so that i can show the exact issue by sharing my screen. It will be really helpful if you can arrange this so that it will be feasible to resolve the issue quickly. I forgot to mention, i am using the Zoom provided sample code. Looking forward for your reply… ---

Hi @priyakvb, If you are sending requests to Zoom API, you will need API key &secret instead of SDK key & secret. Since Zoom API and SDK are 2 different products, they are not using the same credentials. You may refer to the instruction here to test your requests with Zoom API:[https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/using-zoom-apis;](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/using-zoom-apis;) Please have a try with other Zoom API and see if it works. Thanks! ---

Hi Carson I really appreciate your response. As per your suggestion i had changed the SDK Key, For getting the ZoomAPI key, i am using the API key, API Secret key only, able to generate JWT Token and ZOOM Access Token, but we are still getting Zoom User Token as blank{}. It will be really helpful if you can arrange a call so that i can share my screen, so that it will be feasible to resolve the issue quickly. Looking forward for your reply… ---

Hi @priyakvb, Thanks for the prompt reply. That’s unexpected. I understand what you are experiencing but I could not reproduce it on my side. As the issue you are facing is related to the usage of API, let me forward your question to the API section and have one of the API experts to help you. @michael_p.zoom Could you help with this? Thanks! ---

Hey @kathuriasimran94, Make sure the Zoom user you are trying to get the token for has signed into Zoom using the email flow. If they have just signed in using google auth it will not return the token. Thanks, Tommy ---
