My company is strongly considering using Zoom to implement a video conferencing feature for an app we have developed. I am working on a proof-of-concept for this feature, however when I try to access the API I receive the error message: “The account don’t enable API” It sounds like I don’t have API access enabled, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this. I have created an SDK “app” in the marketplace and have applied the SDK key and secret to my demo. The call I am making is [https://www.zoom.us/api/v1/wc/info?callback=localJsonpCallback&meetingNumber=962188783&userName=test&;signature=](https://www.zoom.us/api/v1/wc/info?callback=localJsonpCallback&meetingNumber=962188783&userName=test&;signature=)[hidden for security]&apiKey=[hidden for security] Full response is : /\*\*/localJsonpCallback({“status”:false,“errorCode”:200,“errorMessage”:“The account don’t enable API.”,“result”:null}); Can someone tell me how to enable the API for my account in the marketplace? Thanks, -Joe Newton ---

Hi @joe.newton, We recommend to use our V2 API as v1 API is no longer supported by us. Also, since you are using our API you will need to use our API key & Secret instead of SDK credentials. Let us know if using the API key secret works for you. Thanks ---

Following up, looks like you need to either have a Free trail account or a Pro account using the API Key/Secret. Thanks ---

I’m confused about your API comment, since this call is generated by Zoom’s [sample-app-web](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web) via [@zoomus/websdk](https://github.com/zoom/websdk). Do you discourage using those? I’m getting the same error; I assumed it was because I hadn’t configured the app properly, but now I’m wondering if I need to find a new starting point… ---

Hey @ryan2, I think Michael misunderstood. That v1 endpoint is separate from the [public v1 endpoints](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/announcements#v1-eol). This error is either because you don’t have a [Pro or above Zoom account](https://calendly.com/pages/pricing), or because you are not using a [JWT App](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/getting-started/app-types/create-jwt-app) for the API and Secret creds. Thanks, Tommy ---

Thanks, that’s reassuring. I wasn’t aware of the API distinction. As you suggested, I had initially plugged in an SDK key & secret where I should have used the API key from the JWT app. All good now. ---

Happy to hear we figured out the issue! 🙂 -Tommy ---
