Build Zoom Rest API App

Build Zoom REST API App

Use this skill when the task needs deterministic Zoom API calls or resource management from application code.

Workflow

1. Define the resource and actor: user, meeting, webinar, recording, docs, chat, phone, account, or admin-level workflow.
2. Select the endpoint and required scopes from the reference files before coding.
3. Confirm auth fit: user-level OAuth for user-owned resources, account-level OAuth for admin workflows, and only use server-to-server OAuth where the target API documents support for it.
4. Implement narrow API wrappers with explicit pagination, retry, idempotency, and rate-limit handling.
5. Treat webhook processing as a separate event-ingestion path with signature verification and replay protection.
6. Debug by checking token audience, missing scopes, resource ownership, account settings, API enablement, and rate-limit headers.
