About Zoom APIs

With the arrival of the COVID-19 pandemic, businesses and organizations realized the need to communicate virtually. For many of these groups, Zoom was the online meeting platform that met their needs. When developers want to integrate Zoom’s functionality with other applications or websites, they will work with Zoom APIs.

What is Zoom?

Zoom is a communication platform that empowers online meetings, lectures and seminars. When a user has an account on Zoom, they can invite others to join by sending a link. Through Zoom, organizations can hold large discussions, share videos and images, and break into small groups from anywhere in the world.

How does a Zoom API work?

When a third-party application or website wants to access the resources of Zoom, it will reach out to a Zoom API. An API is a digital structure that allows an external application to interact with a platform’s servers. Zoom APIs let applications pull information about current users, accounts and dashboard data. These structures will also let users set up meetings on a third-party application.

Who would use a Zoom API?

Many organizations use Zoom regularly. Using a Zoom API, a developer can automate many of the features of Zoom such as organizing and starting meetings. Zoom APIs will also come into play when an organization wants to develop an in-house communication platform. Educational organizations might build Zoom discussions into their teaching platforms.

Why is Zoom important?

Virtual communication will become increasingly important as more organizations incorporate remote employees. This technology will also lower the environmental impact and practical costs of travel to conferences and business meetings.

What can developers expect from a Zoom API?

Zoom APIs give developers access to both information and functionality on the platform. For a meeting that is already in session, a GET request will return information about participants. An application can use a POST request to set up a meeting and allow individuals to register for an upcoming gathering.

Are there free Zoom APIs?

Some of the features of the official Zoom API are available for use at no charge with a free user account. However, Zoom limits the functionality of many of its API endpoints to users with a paid account at the Pro level or above.
