Hi,

I’m trying to write code that will allow&nbsp;users of my app to&nbsp;transfer their recordings from Zoom.

I figured that the most straightforward way would be to use their API credentials in the key and secret from the ‘Integration Authentication’ section at the very bottom of&nbsp;[https://zoom.us/profile/setting](https://zoom.us/profile/setting).

I tried&nbsp;out a simple API call&nbsp;[https://api.zoom.us/v2/users&nbsp;with](https://api.zoom.us/v2/users%C2%A0with) the Integration Authentication key and secret from my own account, and receive&nbsp;{ code: 124, message: ‘Invalid access token.’ }

Making exactly the same call using a key generated at&nbsp;[https://developer.zoom.us/me/#](https://developer.zoom.us/me/#) succeeds. I don’t want to require my users to have to create an “App”

Am I doing something wrong? Is the Integration Authentication&nbsp;key and secret for something else entirely?

Thanks in advance,

James

Hi James,&nbsp;

To make an API call you will need to use API Key/Secret from [developer.zoom.us](http://developer.zoom.us). The Integration Authentication is not for APIs, it’s used for integrations such as Zapier.&nbsp;

Thanks
