Zoom Meeting API Questions: Auth Token and Invitees

[sharvani.rai01 (Sharvani)]

1. Permanent Authentication Token: Is it possible to obtain a permanent authentication token for accessing Zoom APIs?
2. Invitees List: When scheduling a meeting, is it mandatory to include the invitees list within the Zoom meeting itself, or can we manage invitations through email notifications separately? This is when we are creating meeting using Zoom APIs

Hi @sharvani.rai01 ,

Permanent Authentication Token: Is it possible to obtain a permanent authentication token for accessing Zoom APIs?

No this is not possible. Tokens expire after 1 hour. For user auth apps, you can you can use the refresh token to refresh the access token.

For server to server apps, there is no refresh–you have to generate a new token.

Hi @sharvani.rai01 , the invitee list will be visible to you as the meeting scheduler, but it does not have to be visible to everyone else depending on your settings.
