Unable to make GET request for /users/{userId}/webinars, invalid scope

Description/Error

I’m attempting to make a GET request and get the list of webinars. I’m using this sample code, slightly modified (I just changed .get(…/users/me) to .get(…/users/{MyUserId}/webinars)).

github.com

zoom/zoom-oauth-sample-app/blob/master/index.js

const express = require('express')
const app = express()
const config = require('./config');
const request = require('request');
var resp;

app.get('/', (req, res) => {

    //this will check if the code parameter is in the url, if not the most likely case is that this is the user's inital visit to oauth and we need to redirect them (Step 1)
    //if there is a code, it most likely means they were redirected here from zoom oauth screen
    if (req.query.code) {

        let url = 'https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code=' + req.query.code + '&redirect_uri=' + config.redirectUrl;

        //STEP 3
        //we need to exchange the code for a oauth token
        request.post(url, function (error, response, body) {

            //the response should be a JSON payload
            body = JSON.parse(body);

When I try this, I get back this error message:

{
  "code": 4700,
  "message": "Invalid access token, does not contain scopes: [zms:webinar:write, webinar:write:admin, webinar:read:admin, zms:webinar:read]"
}

I added those scopes when I created my OAuth application:

webinar:read
webinar:write

But, it seems strange that the API responds saying I need zms:webinar:write, webinar:write:admin, webinar:read:admin, zms:webinar:read.

What is the zms:webinar:read scope, and how is this different than webinar:read?

My account is definitely “PRO” and I scheduled a webinar.

Which Endpoint/s?

https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{myUserId}/webinars

Hey @xrd, thanks for posting and using Zoom!

I am guessing your OAuth app is User Level. In that case you need to use the me keyword instead of the {{userID}} to call the User Level APIs.

Let me know if that works!

Thanks,
Tommy
