We are trying to use the Global dial-in countries in Zoom Create Meeting API. However, what is the valid format to use for the country names? For e.g. is it the ISO 3166 2-digit code, or the full name? Thanks for your assitance. Regards, Laxman Uchlani ---

Hi Tommy How can we tell which countries are allowed for the user by the account admin? E.g. the admin might have limited the account to only use Global dial-in countries as [US, Argentina & Australia], out of which the user had selected only [US, Australia] in their own “Global dial-in countries” on their own settings. How can we know this information, so that for the user selecting the dial-in countries, a) we don’t show other countries that the admin did not allow? b) the countries they had already selected on their own profile settings are shown as “selected” ---

Hey @samudra.rc, Checkout this doc which explains how to tell which countries are allowed by your account admin: > **[Specifying Default Dial-in Countries](https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/115004454886-Specifying-Default-Dial-in-Countries)** > > Overview > As an account administrator or a meeting organizer, you can choose one or more countries from which you commonly invite attendees. The dial-in numbers for the countries that you choose app... Let me know if that answers your question! 🙂 Thanks, Tommy ---

Hi, Is there a way to get this data via REST API? ---

Hi @dev.isv.zoom , Yes, you can check the respective settings API endpoints. For instance [GET Account Settings,](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/account/methods/#operation/accountSettings) responds with the `audio_conferencing` object with this info. User settings: [Zoom User API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/user/methods/#operation/userSettings) Group settings: [Zoom User API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/reference/user/methods/#operation/getGroupSettings) ---

Thanks for your reply, however this only returns the toll-free numbers for me. I’m specifically interested in the toll call numbers. ---

Hi @dev.isv.zoom I see! The info returned to those endpoints is what’s available via API at this time.
