Java Zoom API

This is a wrapper around the Zoom API that allows us to call it using native Java code.

Features

1. Native Java calls instead of using HTTP

   ZoomUser user = api.getUser("me");

2. Transparently use either JWT or OAuth authentication - the calls automatically use whichever is configured correctly

3. Automatically refreshes OAuth tokens correctly when needed

4. Wraps both page_number and next_page_token in a proper Java Iterator so paging records is transparently managed in the background (WIP: Not Implemented Yet)

How to Use

The main class that wraps all API calls is ZoomAPI. Initialize this class and you’re ready to go making all Zoom calls.

ZoomAPI za = new ZoomAPI(authenticator);
za.createMeeting(user, meetingrequest);

Authentication

Depending on the type of App we are using (see the Zoom Getting Started Guide), we need to initialize the ZoomAPI with the appropriate Authenticator.

JWT Usage

In order to use a JWT App, first create your app on the Zoom marketplace and get it’s JWT token.

Initialize your ZoomAPI with a ZoomAuthenticatorJWT and you’re ready to go.

ZoomAuthorizerJWT authorizer = new ZoomAuthorizerJWT(JWTToken);
ZoomAPI za = new ZoomAPI(authorizer);

// Get User
ZoomUser user = za.getUser("me");
System.out.println(user);

// Create a new meeting
ZoomMeetingRequest mreq = ZoomMeetingRequest.requestDefaults("Test Meeting", "Let's talk about the weather");
ZoomMeeting meeting = za.createMeeting("me", mreq);
System.out.println(meeting);

OAuth Usage

Create an OAuth application in the marketplace and set it’s callback to your application webhook. This allows users to click a link like this:

https://zoom.us/oauth/authorize?response_type=code&client_id=7lstjK9NTyett_oeXtFiEQ&redirect_uri=https://yourapp.com

and give your app permissions to make calls on their after reviewing what permissions you need:

When you get this request, use the ZoomAPI::requestAccessToken call to get a ZoomAccessToken that can be used for making calls on behalf of the user.

// Use your app's secrets to convert the user
// 'code' into an access token you can use to
// make calls on their behalf
ZoomAuthorizerGetOAuthToken authorizer = new ZoomAuthorizerGetOAuthToken(clientID, clientSecret);
ZoomAPI za = new ZoomAPI(authorizer);

String code = req.params.get("code"); // get 'code' query parameter from callback
ZoomAccessToken oauthToken = za.requestAccessToken(code, redirectURL);

db.save(oauthToken); // save the token for use

Once you have a user token you can use it to make calls on the user’s behalf.

ZoomAuthorizerOAuth authorizer = new ZoomAuthorizerOAuth(oauthToken);
ZoomAPI za = new ZoomAPI(clientID, clientSecret, authorizer);

// Get User
ZoomUser user = za.getUser("me");
System.out.println(user);

// Create a new meeting
ZoomMeetingRequest mreq = ZoomMeetingRequest.requestDefaults("Test Meeting", "Let's talk about the weather");
ZoomMeeting meeting = za.createMeeting("me", mreq);
System.out.println(meeting);

For more clarity, an example this flow is in OAuthTest.java.
