**Description**  
i tried using [https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/prashant.bharati@evontech.com/messages](https://api.zoom.us/v2/chat/users/prashant.bharati@evontech.com/messages) api with JWT token

**Error**  
but i get following message

{  
“code”: 124,  
“message”: “This API only supports oAuth2 for authorization.”  
}

can’t these api be used with JWT token?

Hey @prashant.bharati,

Currently, it’s only possible to get/send [Chat Messages](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/chat-messages/sendachatmessage) through an OAuth app.

That said, [Account-level chat APIs](https://trello.com/c/dqthV5DW/43-zoom-chat-apis-account-level) (JWT or OAuth) are something we’re looking into for the future, so stay tuned to our [Changelog](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/changelog) for that release.

Thanks,  
Will
