Fast Routing Questions (Ask First)
- App type: Server-to-Server OAuth vs User OAuth (authorization_code / PKCE)
- Target endpoints: meetings, webinars, recordings, users, reports, team chat
- Who are you acting as: account-level automation vs per-user actions?
- Exact error: HTTP status + Zoom error
code + message
- Scopes: list current scopes on the token (and whether they match the endpoint)
- wrong OAuth app type for the use case
- token from the wrong account/app
- scopes not granted or not activated
- using
me incorrectly (User OAuth vs S2S OAuth rules)
- “How do I switch from JWT app type to S2S OAuth?”
- “What is
grant_type=account_credentials and account_id?”
- explain that Marketplace JWT app type is deprecated (REST API)
- show token request + where to store/refresh tokens server-side
- verification (CRC or event verification)
- “which event proves the user actually joined?”
- limiting events to subsets of users
- recommend event-driven architecture over polling
- show signature/verification steps and typical pitfalls
- downloading recordings (
download_url auth + redirects)
- bulk download across account/users
- getting transcripts and transcription availability
- use webhooks to trigger downloads
- follow redirects and keep auth headers
