Create a Meeting

Create a meeting https://support.zoom.us/hc/enus/articles/201362413Schedulingmeetings for a user. This API has a daily rate limit of 100 requests per day. Therefore, only 100 **Create a Meeting** API requests are permitted within a 24 hour window for a user.<aside>The <code>start_url</code> of a meeting is a URL using which a host or an alternative host can start a meeting. The expiration time for the <code>start_url</code> field is two hours for all regular users. For custCreate meeting hosts i.e., users created using the <code>custCreate</code> option via the Create Users https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/apireference/zoomapi/users/usercreate API , the expiration time of the <code>start_url</code> field is 90 days from the generation of the <code>start_url</code>. For security reasons, the recommended way to retrieve the updated value for the <code>start_url</code> field programmatically after expiry is by calling the Retrieve a Meeting API https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/apireference/zoomapi/meetings/meeting and referring to the value of the <code>start_url</code> field in the response.</aside>Scopes: meeting:write:admin meeting:write ** Rate Limit Label https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/apireference/ratelimits#ratelimits :** Medium
