### Join Method via API

I’m not seeing any way to specify the join method in the Create Tickets API. I’m using the following endpoint:

```auto
https://api.zoom.us/v2/zoom_events/events/{event ID}/tickets

```

By default, I get “Sign in with Zoom”. This is overriding what I have as the default join method in my event configuration: “Sign in with Zoom OR authenticate over email OTP”. When I pre-register someone via API, it overrides my event default with just “sign in with Zoom.”

I realize I can use the fast\_join: true option in the API body, but this just bypasses authentication altogether. Is there a way to specify “Sign in with Zoom OR authenticate via email OTP” via the API?

Hi @Dfrazier  
I am looking into this issue. I created a ticket for our Engineering team to review this and will get back to you when I hear back from them ( ZSEE-198362 internal ticket number for reference)

Hi @Dfrazier  
We are working on adding an ‘authentication\_method’ field for the create. Ticket API that will fix this issue for you.  
I dont have an exact date for the fix but will update you as soon as i have it
