Zoom Phone API header in Python

Zoom Phone API - Emergency Addresses

Description
I am using this API to get a list of phone users who have either not entered their emergency address or are using the Main Site default address. I created an OAuth app and have been using Postman for testing, which is working. With Postman, I have a redirect URL. I’m now writing code in Python.

  1. How should the OAuth redirect URL be handled now? Should I use a different API app instead?
  2. How is the client ID, client secret, and endpoint used for authorization using Python? Do I need to use authorization_code? If so, how is that done?

Thank you.

Hi Conrad,

If you are planning to write a Python script to poll this API as an internal tool, i would recommend using the “Server to Server oAuth” (S2S) app instead of the standard oAuth app. The S2S app does not require any redirect URL.

Hi Justin,

Thank you for confirming. I’ve seen a few posts about creating a public IP but S2S makes more sense.

I figured out the answer to question #2 after posting this and everything has been working just fine.

Thank you for the quick response!
