/v2/metrics/meetings returns code 3001, same UUID works in other calls

API and Webhooks Meetings
1

Hi there,

I get a “meeting does not exist” error for the following API call (same results whether using JWT or Server-to-Server OAuth apps):

https://api.zoom.us/v2/metrics/meetings/g%252B5CdbmdQSW0L2tEVl21pw%253D%253D/participants

The response is:

{
“code”: 3001,
“message”: “Meeting does not exist: g+5CdbmdQSW0L2tEVl21pw==.”
}

It most certainly is a meeting that does exist, because alll of the following API calls return successfully using the same UUID as above:

https://api.zoom.us/v2/past_meetings/g%252B5CdbmdQSW0L2tEVl21pw%253D%253D
https://api.zoom.us/v2/past_meetings/g%252B5CdbmdQSW0L2tEVl21pw%253D%253D/participants
https://api.zoom.us/v2/report/meetings/g%252B5CdbmdQSW0L2tEVl21pw%253D%253D/participants

Is there something special about the /metrics API I’m not understanding? I’ve tried this with several of our recurring (no fixed time) meetings and get the same results.

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

Thanks,
Shawn

And just like that I solved my problem. I was setting the “type” parameter as an HTTP header, rather than a URL parameter. Simply adding ?type=past to the end of the /metrics API call fixed my problem.

Hi @shawnthomas
Happy to hear that you were able to solve your issue!
I encourage you to look into this post as well to understand the difference between passing the query parameter type past or pastOne

Hope this helps,
