Hey @mark.santoski, Thank you for reaching out to the Zoom Developer Forum. Looking at our old post, it looks like I may have been a little unclear: > [@Webinar API Access - Account vs License](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/webinar-api-access-account-vs-license/38203/2): > > > Does the webinar license need to be applied to an account at the time of OAuth access to the webinar API endpoints in order to retrieve past webinar information? > > Yes, a webinar license will be applied to the user and this can be done only once you have OAuth access to authenticate the request. What I meant there is that a webinar license will need to be applied to the user before calling the Webinar API endpoints. > [@Webinar API Access - Account vs License](https://devforum.zoom.us/t/webinar-api-access-account-vs-license/38203/4): > > If a user hosted a Webinar in the past, that will be reflected in the API as the host even if they don’t currently have a Webinar license. While this is true, you will need to make this call with a user that still has a Webinar license. In response to that API call, a user that previously had a webinar license will still be shown as the host. I hope that clears things up! Let me know if you have any questions.
