Zoom APIConnect Zoom without building on its API
Zoom has REST and GraphQL APIs. Build apps in the Zoom App Marketplace with a Zoom account, and rate limits scale by account plan (Free, Pro, Business+). If you're reading the docs because you need Zoom to talk to the rest of your stack, Caddi does that without you writing or maintaining integration code: you show it the job once, and it runs it across Zoom and your other tools.

What the Zoom API gives you
- Type
- REST + GraphQL
- Authentication
- OAuth 2.0 (user-authorized OAuth or Server-to-Server OAuth)
- Who can get access
- Build apps in the Zoom App Marketplace with a Zoom account, and rate limits scale by account plan (Free, Pro, Business+).
- What it covers
- Meetings, webinars, users, recordings, reports, Zoom Phone, Team Chat, Rooms, and other Zoom Workplace products.
- Limits
- Limits are per account and shared across apps, e.g. Light APIs are 4/sec (6,000/day) on Free, 30/sec on Pro, and 80/sec on Business+, and Heavy plus resource-intensive calls share a daily cap of 30,000 on Pro and 60,000 on Business+.

Building on the Zoom API vs. having Caddi run it
| The job | Build it on the API | With Caddi |
|---|---|---|
| Getting access | Register an app, get Zoom credentials, and manage tokens and refreshes. | Connect your Zoom account once. Caddi holds the connection. |
| Writing the integration | A developer maps fields, handles pagination, retries and rate limits, and writes the sync. | You show Caddi the Zoom task the way you'd train a new hire. It writes verified code for it. |
| Steps the API doesn't cover | Screens with no endpoint stay manual, or need a separate RPA tool. | Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session where there's no API, in the same automation. |
| The other systems in the loop | Each extra tool is another API, another set of credentials, another integration to own. | One automation runs across all the tools the job touches. |
| Keeping it running | Someone owns the code when the API version, fields or your process change. | Every automation is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged. |
Building on the API is the right call when you have engineers and the integration is your product. When the goal is getting Zoom work off someone's desk, the build is the slow part.
What teams usually want the Zoom API for
Meeting note write-back
Caddi takes the Zoom transcript, writes a structured summary to the CRM, and opens the right follow-up tasks.
Prep packet generation
Before each Zoom, Caddi assembles the prep packet from the CRM and emails it to the host.
Time entry from Zoom
Caddi reads the day's Zooms and drafts time entries against the right matters or projects.
Zoom API questions
Does Zoom have an API?
Yes. Zoom has REST and GraphQL APIs, authenticated with OAuth 2.0 (user-authorized OAuth or Server-to-Server OAuth). The official documentation is at https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/.
How do I get access to the Zoom API?
Build apps in the Zoom App Marketplace with a Zoom account, and rate limits scale by account plan (Free, Pro, Business+).
Does the Zoom API have rate limits?
Limits are per account and shared across apps, e.g. Light APIs are 4/sec (6,000/day) on Free, 30/sec on Pro, and 80/sec on Business+, and Heavy plus resource-intensive calls share a daily cap of 30,000 on Pro and 60,000 on Business+.
Can I connect Zoom to my other tools without writing code against its API?
Yes. With Caddi you show the Zoom task once, the way you'd train a new hire, and Caddi builds it as verified code that runs across Zoom and the other tools the job touches. Where a step has no API, Caddi uses a secure, audited browser session in the same automation.
Do I need a developer to automate Zoom with Caddi?
No. There is no integration code for you to write or maintain. Every automation Caddi builds for Zoom is reviewed before it runs in production, and every run is logged.
