Check your user ID is correct by sending your auth token on this API page: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/users/users)

@igloo I don’t think is what I’m looking for because I don’t have a payed account to have users set up. I just needed my userID to create meeting and it worked with setting **userId: /me/** and not **userId: me** btw.  
Hope it makes sence.
