# build-zoom-rest-api-app

Adds Zoom REST API endpoints to a project. It reviews auth requirements, plans the integration layer, and verifies requests without leaking secrets.

## What it does

This command guides the agent through adding Zoom REST endpoints for meetings and cloud recordings. It starts with a preflight check. The agent scans existing HTTP clients and environment variables. It also confirms that REST is the right choice rather than the Meeting SDK or webhooks.

Implementation follows an explicit plan. The agent determines required OAuth scopes and the files to touch. Code changes reuse existing HTTP clients and error handlers. Access tokens and secrets stay out of console logs. Once code is updated, it runs tests or performs a targeted API call to verify the request format.

Missing account scopes or absent callback URLs will halt live testing. When credentials are not yet configured, the workflow points developers to `/setup-zoom-oauth`.

## Install

### Codex (native platform)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.codex/prompts/build-zoom-rest-api-app.md` — Call it with /prompts:build-zoom-rest-api-app. Codex marks this format deprecated in favour of skills

### Claude Code

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.claude/commands/build-zoom-rest-api-app.md` — Call it with /build-zoom-rest-api-app. For all projects use ~/.claude/commands/

### GitHub Copilot

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/prompts/build-zoom-rest-api-app.prompt.md`

### Gemini CLI

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.gemini/commands/build-zoom-rest-api-app.toml` — Gemini stores commands as TOML: the prompt text goes into the prompt field

## When to use it
- add Zoom REST endpoints for meetings and users
- verify OAuth token scopes before editing files
- distinguish REST API tasks from SDK and webhook setups
- validate API requests without printing tokens to logs

## Example prompts
- Integrate Zoom REST API endpoints to manage scheduled meetings
- Connect Zoom user and recording endpoints to our backend service
- Review project auth and implement Zoom account REST calls

# Build Zoom REST API App

Use this command when the repo should call Zoom REST endpoints directly for meetings, users, recordings, docs-adjacent workflows, or account resources.

## Preflight

1. Inspect the codebase for existing Zoom API usage, env vars, HTTP client wrappers, and server routes.
2. Confirm the requested workflow is actually a REST API problem and not better served by Meeting SDK, Video SDK, or Webhooks.
3. Identify the runtime that will own the Zoom API calls and token lifecycle.
4. Check whether the required OAuth values and scope configuration already exist without printing secrets.

## Plan

Before making changes:

- state the exact Zoom resource or endpoint family to implement
- list the files that will be created or edited
- state the auth model, token owner, and required scopes
- state how the new API flow will be verified

## Commands

1. Inspect the existing project structure and add the Zoom API integration at the narrowest appropriate layer.
2. Reuse existing HTTP client, config, and error-handling patterns where possible.
3. Add or correct Zoom OAuth token usage, API calls, request validation, and response shaping.
4. Keep secrets out of logs and avoid leaking access tokens in output.
5. Add minimal docs or examples only where they materially help the next developer use the integration.

## Verification

1. Re-read the edited files and confirm the endpoint, auth path, and error handling are coherent.
2. Run the relevant local tests or build if available.
3. If safe credentials already exist, exercise the narrowest live or mocked API path to confirm request shape.
4. State any remaining blocker such as missing scopes, callback setup, or account permissions.

## Summary

```text
## Result
- Action: implemented or updated a Zoom REST API integration
- Status: success | partial | failed
- Details: endpoints, files changed, auth path, verification run
```

## Next Steps

- Run one end-to-end request with real credentials if not already done.
- Add webhook handoff only if the use case actually needs it.
- If auth is incomplete, run `/setup-zoom-oauth` next.
