Hello everyone! I am absolutely new to this and actually in the deep side. I have an ASP\_NET Web Forms system that I have to adapt to work with Zoom. The implementation should be simple as follow: The current users logged into the ASP\_NET system should click a link. They should be taken to a Zoom meeting without having to login to that meeting. The ASP\_NET system should give them Zoom names and it should not be necessary for them to wait in a waiting room. Other users outside the ASP\_NET system will have to be placed in a meeting room or should be excluded. I have to know that they actually were able to enter the Zoom meeting. In essence, this is it. Now, which API to use? I am so unfamiliar with this! If you could give me quick guidelines where to start I would really appreciate that! Thank you so much! Jaco ---

Hi @Systellence, Thanks for joining our community! 🙂 Most likely, you will want to use a combination of our APIs (for creating and scheduling live meetings) and our Web SDK (for embedding the Zoom Meeting/video experience on your site/app). Details on both of these further below. #### API and SDK Overview We offer both APIs and SDKs for you to consider when planning an integration/implementing in an application. You may find the below information helpful for your web developer. Here are some APIs which you can consider using within your application: [Create Meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetingcreate): To create a meeting (including instant meetings) [List Meetings](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meetings): To Display the schedule Meetings [Retrieve Meeting](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/zoom-api/meetings/meeting): To get a specific meeting We also have a Web SDK that you can consider integrating into your website: [https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/web) **Sample App—Getting Started:** [Node](https://github.com/zoom/sample-app-web) You can download our latest sample app for our Web SDK from the link above. **Getting Started, Getting Access** To get started, you’ll need to create a **[JWT](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/guides/build/jwt-app)** app to generate your credentials for authorization. If you want to test out our API endpoints, the quickest way to generate credentials is to create a JWT app and generate your credentials: Once you have a JWT app created under your account, you can follow these steps to retrieve the token to authenticate your requests with: 1. Navigate to the [Zoom Marketplace](https://marketplace.zoom.us/user/build) while logged in to the account that is associated with your JWT app 2. Once logged in, click on your JWT App from the [Manage](https://marketplace.zoom.us/user/build) page 3. From your App’s page, click on the **App Credentials** tab: 4. ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/zoomdeveloper/original/3X/3/f/3f8caa1cedf3b2414dfed7c07b4584c56e20936f.png)​ 5. Click on the **View JWT Token** dropdown 6. Copy this token and use this to authenticate your requests (auth type: “Bearer Token”) I hope this helps get you started! Best, Will ---
