Step 1 : Create Oauth App and get installation URL for authorization

• - Visit https://marketplace.zoom.us/
• - Click `Develop` dropdown and then `Build App`
• - Create Oauth App
• - Provide App Details like name, app type
• - Add Redirect URL (Eg. URL to which Zoom service will return code https://someurl.com)
• - Add API Scopes
• - Provide App description and developer information
• - Click Continue
• - After finishing  you will get a Zoom installation URL,
  Eg. https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize?response_type=code
  &client_id=<ClientId>
  &redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fsomeurl.com
  (Note: This URL is used to ask User to authorize access to app for Zoom information)

Step 2 : User provides authorization for zoom access using installation url

• Once authorized, it will be routed to redirect URL with a code
  Eg. https://someurl.com/api/auth?code=fg123afsag123asfasd123afasd

Step 3 : Get Access Token

• Before getting the access token, generate authorization code using clientID and clientSecret. 
• Encode `ClientID:ClientSecret` to base64. Client Id and Client Secret are colon separated. You can use https://www.base64encode.org/ for encoding.
  Eg. Q2xpZW50SUQ6Q2xpZW50U2VjcmV0 (After encoding) - Encoded Authorization Key
• This key will be required in the Headers for all the API requests further

Now, to get Access Token for a client
Example Request:

POST

https://zoom.us/oauth/token?grant_type=authorization_code&code=<code>&redirect_uri=<redirect_url>

Request Headers:

{

  "Authorization": "Basic <Encoded Authorization Key>"

}

If successful, the response body will be a JSON representation of the user’s access token:

{
  "access_token": "<Access Token Provided By Zoom>",
  "token_type": "bearer",
  "refresh_token": "<Refresh Token used to refresh access token>",
  "expires_in": 3599,
  "scope": "user:read:admin"
}

This access token can now be used to make requests to the Zoom API. Access tokens expire after 1 hour.

Step 4 : Get User Information using Access token - https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me

GET

https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/me

Request Headers:

{

  "Authorization": "Basic <Encoded Authorization Key>"

}

If successful, the response body will be a JSON representation of the user’s information:

{
  "id": "KdYKjnimT4KPd8FFgQt9FQ",
  "first_name": "Jane",
  "last_name": "Dev",
  "email": "jane.dev@email.com",
  "type": 2,
  "role_name": "Owner",
  "pmi": 1234567890,
  "use_pmi": false,
  "vanity_url": "https://janedevinc.zoom.us/my/janedev",
  "personal_meeting_url": "https://janedevinc.zoom.us/j/1234567890",

  ],
  "account_id": "gVcjZnYYRLDbb_MfgHuaxg",
  "language": "en-US",
  "phone_country": "US",
  "phone_number": "+1 1234567891",
  "status": "active"
}

Step 5 : Now to create meeting on Client Profile using Python

• Install zoomus
  pip install zoomus

Follow below code for creating meeting

import json
from zoomus import ZoomClient
from datetime import datetime

# connect to Zoom Client
client = ZoomClient('ClientID', 'ClientSecret')

# Create Meeting
client.meeting.create(user_id='UserId from above API response', topic='My New Meeting', start_time=datetime.now())

# Find if Meeting got created
user_list = json.loads(client.user.list().content)
for user in user_list['users']:
    user_id = user['id']
    meetings = client.meeting.list(user_id=user_id).content
    print(json.loads(meetings))
