Hi I am looking to retrieve the following values for the development&nbsp;

&nbsp;

var rtc\_userid = “”;  
var rtc\_username = “”;  
var rtc\_token = “”;  
var rtc\_meeting = “”;

var rtc\_appkey&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; = “”;  
var rtc\_appsecret &nbsp; = “”;  
var rtc\_domain&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; = “”;

Could you let me know where I could the following? The documentation says about a “credentials tab” although when I log in I do not see any similar tab.

I see only.

Hi Prakash,

please click on “Zoom for Developers” and click into the platform you want to test, under “credentials” you should see “App Key” and “App Secret”.&nbsp;

for&nbsp;userid,&nbsp;username,&nbsp;token,&nbsp;meeting, I recommend you use API called: user/getbyemail, which is available here:&nbsp;[https://zoom.us/developer/api/playground](https://zoom.us/developer/api/playground)

Best

Thanks Wei Guo.

I was able to get the app key and app secret from the credentials tab.&nbsp;

Could you help me out with the rest (userid, username, token, meeting AND domain). The following is the response I got from the user/getbyemail api

Hi Prakash,&nbsp;

user id is “id”, username can be anything, token is “token”, meeting number can be any valid meeting you schedule for future or you can put “pmi”, domain should be “[zoom.us](http://zoom.us)”
