I am trying to create a meeting with Postman.  
I have imported official API’s into my Postman.  
I even found valid post body and reused it in my Postman. I found it [here](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/create-meeting-api-is-responsed-back-with-request-body-should-be-a-valid-json-object/22459?fbclid=IwAR1rk5NpCn1QA7mAfHGoo9eOMEBY7EJ-KR5N_jytFYiWyRvxAwkHWjt-ZMU)

endpoint: {{baseUrl}}/v2/users/oleg@thisisoasis.com/meetings  
Authentication method: Bearer token.  
Content-Type: application/json  
Body:  
{  
“topic”: “Akkalkot Darshan”,  
“type”: 8,  
“start\_time”: “2023-06-26T14:30:00Z”,  
“duration”: 60,  
“password”: “123abc”,  
“recurrence”: {  
“type”: “1”,  
“repeat\_interval”: “1”,  
“weekly\_days”: “4”,  
“monthly\_day”: 30,  
“monthly\_week”: “4”,  
“monthly\_week\_day”: “4”,  
“end\_times”: 1,  
“end\_date\_time”: “2023-07-04T16:20:00Z”  
},  
“settings”: {  
“host\_video”: true,  
“participant\_video”: true,  
“cn\_meeting”: false,  
“in\_meeting”: false,  
“join\_before\_host”: false,  
“mute\_upon\_entry”: false,  
“watermark”: false,  
“use\_pmi”: false,  
“approval\_type”: 0,  
“registration\_type”: 1,  
“audio”: “both”,  
“auto\_recording”: “none”,  
“alternative\_hosts”: “”,  
“close\_registration”: true,  
“waiting\_room”: true,  
“contact\_name”: “Umesh”,  
“contact\_email”: “[oleg@thisisoasis.com](mailto:oleg@thisisoasis.com)”,  
“registrants\_email\_notification”: true,  
“meeting\_authentication”: true,  
“authentication\_option”: “”,  
“authentication\_domains”: “”  
}  
}

My response is “Request Body should be a valid JSON object.”

What is wrong with my post body? It is raw body, with JSON selected.  
JSON validator online apps see it as valid.

I tried to set the postman post body to be like the example you sent shows. And I do still experience invalid JSON object

so what am I doing wrong here?

I’ve managed to do successfull post request with axios from Node.js

But Postman request doesn’t work.

Anyway, it’s all good
