I’m getting some weird behavior searching with session\_key param.

API call:  
[https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions?from=2024-02-01&to=2024-03-01&type=past](https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions?from=2024-02-01&to=2024-03-01&type=past)

“page\_size”: 30,  
“next\_page\_token”: “”,  
“sessions”: [  
{  
“id”: “OMITTED”,  
“session\_name”: “Zoom SDK Test”,  
“start\_time”: “2024-02-02T14:59:07Z”,

},  
//OMITTED  
]}  
}

but this returns nothing

I’m wondering what I’m doing wrong here?

One possibility is that the `session_key` parameter might not be intended for searching purposes. Instead, it could be a unique identifier for a specific session. In that case, trying to search for sessions using this parameter might not yield any results because it’s not designed for that purpose.

To troubleshoot this further, I would recommend checking the API documentation to see if there are any specific guidelines or restrictions regarding the use of the `session_key` parameter. It’s also a good idea to verify if the session key you’re providing is correct and corresponds to an existing session.

The API documentation does point out that session\_key can be used for searching.

Still waiting on a response.  
Please assist if session\_key can be used for searching purposes and whether the way I’m using it is correct.

Hey @dev.isv.zoom, where are you obtaining the `sessionKey` from?  
You can use `client.current.getSessionInfo().sessionId` on web for example to get the `sessionId`.  
Once you obtain the `sessionId` you can then use [this route](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/apis/#operation/sessionDetail) `GET /videosdk/sessions/{sessionId}` to access the session info

```ts
 const data = await fetch(`https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions/${sessionId}`, {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${token}`
    }
  })

```

Make sure you pass in the `type` query paramater as `https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions/${sessionId}?type=past` if you’d like to see past sessions, it defaults to live sessions.

</div>

sessionKey is set by our token generation, I’m using it as an identifier for the meeting.  
I want to search **without** the sessionId. Searching with sessionKey only

</div>

You can use the session\_key with `GET /videosdk/sessions` as:  
[https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions?type=past&from=2021-12-01&to=2021-12-02&session\_key=SESSION\_KEY](https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions?type=past&from=2021-12-01&to=2021-12-02&session_key=SESSION_KEY)

However this API has [Rate Limit Label](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/api-reference/rate-limits#rate-limits): `RESOURCE-INTENSIVE` i.e. **10 requests/minute**

More details here: [Zoom Video SDK API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/apis/#operation/sessions)

Hi @ekaansh.zoom

Yes I’ve tried this however it is not returning any results when I pass in the session\_key value. This is my question of why this is happening. Please see the parameters and results I passed in my original question

I’m having the same problem with /videosdk/sessions

The session\_key and session\_name search parameters simply don’t work.

Sorry about this. I’d request you to double check that you’ve set the `session_key` correctly in the [JWT](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/auth/#payload) and that your filter is set correctly to check for live/past sessions as required.

We’ll also look into this internally, sending you a DM to request some information.

I am facing the same issue too.  
I can get sessions by session\_name, but not by session\_key.

`https://api.zoom.us/v2/videosdk/sessions?from=2025-07-21&to=2025-07-22&type=past&session_key=52e6cb29-47fb-4c37-892b-ba16589e0517`
