&nbsp;Hi, I am trying to create a recurring meeting but am getting the following error. I am using SpringFramework’s RestTemplate to make the request.

I have set the api key, secret etc in the request object but am getting the following error

{error={code=300, message=Api key and secret are required.}}

If I&nbsp;pass the api key etc as query parameter, it works.

I cant use query parameters since the “recurrence” object needs to be passed too.

Thanks.

You should be able to pass the key/secret in the body as well

Here’s my request and code, and the error I am getting back

params Map :&nbsp;

{option\_jbh=true, option\_participants\_video=true, option\_host\_video=true, option\_audio=both, type=8, host\_id=XXXXXXXX, duration=30, recurrence={end\_times=3, repeat\_interval=2, type=2, weekly\_days=4}, start\_time=10/10/17 3:00 PM, api\_key=XXXXXXXXXX topic=Test, option\_auto\_record\_type=none, api\_secret=XXXXXXXXX}

&nbsp;

RestTemplate template = new RestTemplate();

ResponseEntity\<String\> responseFromService = template.postForEntity(endPoint, params, String.class);

&nbsp;

{error={code=300, message=Api key and secret are required.}}

What do you see when you visit&nbsp;[https://developer.zoom.us/me/call-logs/](https://developer.zoom.us/me/call-logs/)

&nbsp;

Did zoom get the full body? Not familiar with RestTemplate, is it sending as a JSON payload or form url encoded?

Try by passing the minimum parameters; api\_key, api\_secret, host\_id, type, topic - start debugging from there

</div>

It doesnt work with just the minimal parameter.&nbsp;

&nbsp;

{“host\_id”:“XXXXXXX”,“api\_key”:"XXXXXXXXX,“topic”:“Milfar Test”,“api\_secret”:“XXXXXXXXX”}

&nbsp;

{

“error”:&nbsp;  
{

“code”:&nbsp;300,

“message”:&nbsp;“Api key and secret are required.”

}

&nbsp;

}

&nbsp;

&nbsp;

It doesnt work here either :&nbsp;[https://developer.zoom.us/playground/&nbsp;&nbsp;](https://developer.zoom.us/playground/%C2%A0%C2%A0)

&nbsp;

I dont see the options to put in the api\_secret & api\_key in the playground
