zoom Build Zoom REST API App
Use this skill when the task needs deterministic Zoom API calls or resource management from application code.
Workflow
- Define the resource and actor: user, meeting, webinar, recording, AI Services job, docs, chat, phone, account, or admin-level workflow.
- Select the endpoint and required scopes from the reference files before coding.
- Confirm auth fit: user-level OAuth for user-owned resources, account-level OAuth for admin workflows, Build-platform JWT for AI Services, and only use server-to-server OAuth where the target API documents support for it.
- Implement narrow API wrappers with explicit pagination, retry, idempotency, and rate-limit handling.
- Treat webhook processing as a separate event-ingestion path with signature verification and replay protection.
- Debug by checking token audience, missing scopes, resource ownership, account settings, API enablement, and rate-limit headers.
