- 2. Zoom API • The Zoom API is the primary means for developers to access a collection of resources from Zoom. Apps can read and write to the resources and mirror some of the most popular features available in Zoom Web Portal such as creating a new meeting, creating, adding and removing users, viewing reports and dashboards on various usage, and so on using the Zoom API. • All APIs under the Zoom API are based on REST architecture and are accessed via HTTP at specified URLs. The base URL for all requests is https://api.zoom.us/v2/. The complete URL varies depending on the endpoint of the resource being accessed.
- 3. Zoom API • Version: 2.0.0 • Host: api.zoom.us/v2 • Protocols: https • Accepts: application/json, multipart/form-data • Responds With: application/json, application/xml
- 4. Account-level and User-Managed Apps • The Zoom Marketplace has two differentiated types of applications based on the type of installation, which determines the form of authentication required. • An Account-level app is used in order to manage users. These apps have specific access set for Zoom APIs which typically manage users, reporting, and content for a Zoom account. An example of an Account-level app could be an internal dashboard used by a company to create and manage meetings on behalf of your users.
- 5. User-Managed Apps • A User-managed app is an application which is installed by individual users, and thus requires authentication on behalf of each user. These apps have specific access set for Zoom APIs which manage an individual user’s content. User-managed apps allow an end-user to control the authorization and deauthorization of the app, allowing the user to protect and manage control of their Zoom account. An example of a User-managed app could include any application which links to specific users to use Zoom, such as an individual’s calendar extension or an app that allows users to create meetings for themselves. • The Zoom Marketplace requires OAuth authentication for creating User-managed apps.
- 6. OAuth • To allow applications to manage individual user data, the Zoom Marketplace provides direct support to OAuth2.0, the industry-standard authorization protocol that allows applications to obtain requested access to user accounts over HTTP. • OAuth apps are typically end-user applications which allow secure integration with Zoom APIs to access authorized data for each user. As a developer, you can use OAuth to allow access to users’ information related to their Zoom accounts, upon granting permission.
- 7. App Types available in Zoom To register your app, visit the Zoom App Marketplace and click on the Develop option in the dropdown on the top-right corner and select Build App. A page with various app types will be displayed. We will be creating and using OAuth App to connect with Zoom and make the API Callouts.
- 8. Create an OAuth App • The windows that follow will ask you to provide a series of information. App Name: Provide your app’s name here. • App Type: There are two types of OAuth apps in Zoom: • Account-level app: Choose this option if your app will manage users across an entire account. An admin will control the installation and management of this app across users in the same account. • User-managed app: Choose this option if your app will be installed and authorized by users individually and your app will only have access to the authenticated users’ data.
- 9. Generate App Credentials • After you provide the information, app credentials (Client ID/ Client Secret) will be automatically generated for your app. • Fore more details information, Please go to below link: https://marketplace.zoom.us/ docs/guides/build/oauth-app
- 10. Set Scopes • Scopes define the API endpoints/methods that your app is allowed to use in order to access specified resources pertaining to your users. • Once your app is published, it will only be permitted to access the resources granted to it by its authorized scopes. Each request for a scope will be specifically reviewed by the Zoom Marketplace team on submission.
