Hi Chadan,

&nbsp;

You’ll want to pass type “8” for recurring meetings.&nbsp;[https://zoom.github.io/api/#create-a-meeting](https://zoom.github.io/api/#create-a-meeting)

Hello Joshua,

I have already passed 8 with main parameter ‘type’. &nbsp; But when going to create **recurrence** type meeting and passing values as mentioned i am getting that error.

&nbsp;

example :  
**"type":** Recurrence Meeting Type. 1 means Daily, 2 means Weekly, 3 means Monthly.

&nbsp;

So, can any one share any example or give me any hint why this is throwing error ?

If it is a daily meeting, repeat\_interval should be 1 and end\_times should be set to how many times you want it to repeat (max 50)

&nbsp;

Give that a shot.

what does your request json look like?

I&nbsp;was able to create using the following:

```
{
 api\_key: 'xxx',
 api\_secret: 'xxx',
 host\_id: 'xxx',
 topic: 'Daily Meeting',
 type: 8,
 start\_time: '2017-06-13T15:00:00Z',
 duration: 30,
 timezone: 'America/Los\_Angeles',
 recurrence: {
 type: 1,
 repeat\_interval: 1,
 weekly\_days: "2,3,4,5,6"
 }

}

```

Hi Juan,&nbsp;

Make sure you use quotes around recurrence. I was able to generate a recurring meeting with the below JSON.&nbsp;

{  
“topic”: “Test reccuring meeting”,  
“type”: 8,  
“start\_time”: “2018-09-12T14:00:00Z”,  
“agenda”: “To test recurring meeting”,  
“recurrence”: {  
“type”:1,  
“repeat\_interval”:1,  
“end\_times”:10  
}  
}
