The code on this page works with either the default UI or the custom UI.
To host or join a scheduled meeting as a non-login user, retrieve these two values from the REST API.
- User ID - pass your email address or retrieve it from the REST API by sending a
GETrequest to https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userID} . - For individual users, a Zoom Access Key (ZAK) - send a
GETrequest to the https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/token withtype="zak"and pass it to the SDK withJoinMeetingParam4WithoutLogin'szoomAccessTokenorStartMeetingParamsWithoutLogin'szoomAccessToken. - For apps that need to join the meeting as individual users, an OnBehalf Of (OBF) token - send a GET request to https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/token with type="onbehalf" and pass it to the SDK with JoinMeetingParam4WithoutLogin's onBehalfToken.
Meeting SDK usage policy
The Meeting SDK is designed for human use cases and does not support bots or AI notetakers. To build an AI notetaker application or access realtime media, use Zoom RTMS (Real-time media streams).
See SDK Authentication for more details.
Access the Zoom API
See Using Zoom APIs to configure your setup and access the Zoom API.
Get a Zoom Access Key (ZAK) or an OnBehalf Of (OBF) token
Once you have the access to the Meeting API, send a GET request to the the https://api.zoom.us/v2/users/{userId}/token with type = "zak" to get a ZAK for individual users, or with type = "onbehalf" to get an OBF token for apps that need to join the meeting as individual users.
For more information, see the Users API and SDK Authentication.
Even if the ZAK does expire, DO NOT pass or expose the ZAK token to others after retrieving it.
