The Zoom Docs API scope settings do not appear in the suggestions

We want to use the Zoom Docs file export API:
https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/zoom-docs/#tag/export/post/docs/exports

However, when we try to configure scopes for either a General App or a Server-to-Server OAuth app, the following scopes do not appear as selectable options:

  • docs_export:write

  • docs:write:export

At the same time, when we call the API with the current access token, we receive this error:

{"code":104, "message":"Invalid access token, does not contain scopes:[docs:write:export]"}

Based on the official Zoom scope documentation, docs:write:export does exist as a Zoom Docs granular scope, and it is mapped to the export-related Docs API capability.

Because of that, our understanding is:

  • the scope itself is defined by Zoom,

  • but in our Marketplace app configuration screen, it is not exposed as a selectable scope for General App or Server-to-Server OAuth.

Could you please confirm the following?

  1. Is docs:write:export currently available for General App and/or Server-to-Server OAuth apps?

  2. If it is not available, what app type or account configuration is required to use the Zoom Docs export API?

  3. If there are any prerequisites such as account role permissions, feature enablement, admin approval, or allowlisting, please let us know.

At the moment, since the required scope cannot be selected in the app configuration UI, we are unable to obtain a token that contains docs:write:export, so the API cannot be used.

Best Regards,
Sato

Does the owner of the application have privileges to do the equivalent Zoom Docs activities in Roles? You’ll only have the option to pick scopes equivalent to what the application owner could have done manually through the Zoom user interface. We set up a custom role for our developer account and granted specifically the privileges needed to administer our applications and everything those applications do.
