I would like to test the Zoom API via postman. In v1 one could import the API from the zoom.github. Is this possible in v2? If so, please share the URL ---

it is easier to test app with ReqBin - you can send requests directly from your browser official website - [https://reqbin.com](https://reqbin.com) ---

Hello All - I’ve been following the developer guide posted by @tommy I can’t seem to get my OAUTH app to work. I’ve tried 2 ways of doing this: 1. Created a JWT app, took the JWT token, added it to postman. I’m able to make some basic calls (but for the life of me I can’t figure out what the account\_id is for other calls. And yes I’ve tried the /v2/users - and it’s not the Account ID in the payload) 2. Created an OAUTH App (as the guide probably is advising). Added all the scopes, then create a JWT bearer token using [jwt.io](http://jwt.io) - but I keep getting a “token expired” error Can someone please advise on what OAUTH setup works for a Postman setup? ---

Hey @tammer_DoCon, We’re happy to help you troubleshoot your requests in Postman. Can you send us an example request you’re testing with at [developersupport@zoom.us](mailto:developersupport@zoom.us)? Please include the details of which kind of token you’re using, which endpoint, etc. Thanks, Will ---

Hi @will.zoom - thanks for looking into this! So basically I’ve created a JWT App I’ve downloaded the Zoom V2 collection into Postman, and setup the JWT token in the parent folder in postman Then I made a call to /v2/users/ (using my own userid) - these work fine Then I use the account\_id returned in the user call to query account setting and I get this error: ![Screen Shot 2021-04-07 at 19.37.39](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/a/f/afb2c0f66d9ca4659bc63eb21537237383599ae7.png) What I can’t tell is this a scope issue (the JWT isn’t clear on allowed scope - I had assumed it was account level). Or do I create a separate OAUTH app and generate a JWT token separately (which when I tried didn’t work at all) ---

Hey @tammer_DoCon , Have you tried using `me` instead of the account ID as mentioned in the docs? > **[Update settings - Accounts - Zoom API - API Reference](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/accounts/accountsettingsupdate)** > > Update the settings of a sub account that is under a master account. To update the settings of the master account, use me as the value of the accountId ... Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi tommy - “me” works on the JWT token version (interestingly it looks like I just retrieved everything rather than just my user). Still doesn’t work for an OAUTH app for some reason. Maybe I just haven’t setup the OAUTH app properly ---

Hi @tammer_DoCon, Thanks for clarifying. When utilizing OAuth, can you ensure your app has the necessary scopes? (Account:write:admin, in this case) Unlike JWT, OAuth requires the scopes to be explicitly added to the app. Let us know—thanks! Will
