Hey @priya.jetley,

It looks like the Webinar (0126D4CB-67E4-4303-80CF-A5CD34D59372  
\*ASbUy2fkQwOAz6XNNNWTcg==) has not been started yet. So the error message “Meeting ID is invalid or not end.” makes sense because the webinar has not happened.

The [Dashboard APIs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/dashboards/dashboardwebinarparticipants) are for Live or Previous Webinars, and the [Reports APIs](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/reports/reportwebinarparticipants) are for past webinars.

Are you trying to get [Webinar Registrant](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/webinars/webinarregistrants) Data before the webinar happens?

Thanks,  
Tommy
