📦 What You’ll Need

  • A Zoom account (Free/Pro)

  • Python 3.6+

  • Internet connection 😄


🧰 Step 1: Install Required Python Packages

pip install requests requests-oauthlib

🛠️ Step 2: Create a Zoom OAuth App

  1. Go to Zoom App Marketplace

  2. Click Develop → Build App

  3. Choose OAuth and click Create

  4. Choose General App, give it a name

  5. Under Redirect URL, enter:

    http://localhost
    
  6. Save and continue


🔑 Step 3: Get Client ID and Secret

In the App Credentials section:

  • Copy the Client ID

  • Copy the Client Secret

  • You'll use these in the Python script


🔐 Step 4: Add Required Scopes

Click Scopes and add:

Category Scope
Meeting meeting:read, meeting:write
User user:read

Then click Done → Continue → Activate your app.


✅ Output

After you run it, the script will:

  1. Open your browser to authorize

  2. Print a working Zoom meeting link:

    ✅ Meeting created!
    Join URL: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/xxxxxxxxx?pwd=xxxx
    

You can open it in your browser or mobile Zoom app.


🛡️ Important Security Tip

Do NOT push your client_secret or access tokens to GitHub.

Use .env files or environment variables instead. If you do publish code, remove secrets first.
