Exploring Zoom’s REST API
Example 1: Creating a Meeting
To create a new meeting using Zoom’s REST API, we’ll send a POST request to the /users/{userId}/meetings endpoint. Here’s how you can do it in Postman
- Open Postman and create a new request.
- Set the request method to POST and enter the endpoint URL: https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/meetings.
- In the request body, specify the meeting details such as topic, start time, duration, and settings.
- Add the required authorization headers (Bearer token) to authenticate the request.
- Send the request and observe the response to confirm that the meeting has been created successfully.
Example 2: Fetching User Details
To retrieve details about a specific user using Zoom’s REST API, we’ll send a GET request to the /users/{userId} endpoint. Here’s how you can do it in Postman
- Create a new request in Postman and set the request method to GET.
- Enter the endpoint URL: https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}.
- Add the required authorization headers to authenticate the request.
- Send the request and examine the response to view the user’s details, including their name, email, and account type.
