Zoom Connector for MS Excel Zoom Connector can be used to integrate Zoom REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Meetings, Invite, Users, Accounts and more. In this article you will learn how to quickly and efficiently integrate Zoom data in MS Excel without coding. We will use high-performance Zoom Connector to easily connect to Zoom and then access the data inside MS Excel. Let's follow the steps below to see how we can accomplish that! Download Documentation Zoom Connector for MS Excel is based on ZappySys API Driver which is part of ODBC PowerPack. It is a collection of high-performance ODBC drivers that enable you to integrate data in SQL Server, SSIS, a programming language, or any other ODBC-compatible application. ODBC PowerPack supports various file formats, sources and destinations, including REST/SOAP API, SFTP/FTP, storage services, and plain files, to mention a few.

Create ODBC Data Source (DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

Step-by-step instructions

To get data from Zoom using MS Excel we first need to create a DSN (Data Source) which will access data from Zoom. We will later be able to read data using MS Excel. Perform these steps:

1. Download and install ODBC PowerPack.

2. Open ODBC Data Sources (x64):

   

3. Create a User data source (User DSN) based on ZappySys API Driver

   ZappySys API Driver

   
   • Create and use User DSN if the client application is run under a User Account. This is an ideal option in design-time, when developing a solution, e.g. in Visual Studio 2019. Use it for both type of applications - 64-bit and 32-bit.
   • Create and use System DSN if the client application is launched under a System Account, e.g. as a Windows Service. Usually, this is an ideal option to use in a production environment. Use ODBC Data Source Administrator (32-bit), instead of 64-bit version, if Windows Service is a 32-bit application.

4. When the Configuration window appears give your data source a name if you haven't done that already, then select "Zoom" from the list of Popular Connectors. If "Zoom" is not present in the list, then click "Search Online" and download it. Then set the path to the location where you downloaded it. Finally, click Continue >> to proceed with configuring the DSN:

   ZoomDSN

5. Now it's time to configure the Connection Manager. Select Authentication Type, e.g. Token Authentication. Then select API Base URL (in most cases, the default one is the right one). More info is available in the Authentication section.

    OAuth Authentication [OAuth]

   OAuth App must be created under Admin Console > Channel > API > Settings. [API reference]

   Steps how to get and use Zoom credentials : OAuth Authentication [OAuth]
   

   Perform the following steps to get the Zoom OAuth credentials (i.e. Client ID and Client Secret)

   1. Go to Zoom Marketplace Portal and sign in there.
   2. Once you successfully login then select "Build App" option from Develop dropdown from top left on the page.
   3. Click on Create button of OAuth panel section of page.
   4. Enter the name for your application and choose app type (Recommneded "Account-Level App") option for your API
   5. Then proceed with clicking Create button.
   6. In Redirect URL for OAuth enter this https://zappysys.com/oauth as Redirect URI and add it to allow lists.
   7. Copy Client ID and Client Secret here and paste it into Connection Manager Required Paramters section in respective place holders
   8. Add appropiate scopes from the Scopes menu option to the right side of page for your API as below :
      • meeting:read;
      • meeting:write;
      • user:read;
      • user:write;
      • user_info:read;
      • meeting:read:admin;
      • chat_channel:read;
      • chat_channel:write;
      • chat_contact:read;
      • chat_message:read;
      • chat_message:write;
      • contact:read;
      • pac:read;
      • pac:write;
      • phone:read;
      • phone:write
      • phone_call_control:read;
      • phone_call_control:write;
      • phone_call_log:read;
      • phone_call_log:write;
      • phone_e911:read;
      • phone_recording:read;
      • phone_recording:write;
      • phone_sms:read;
      • phone_sms:write;
      • phone_voicemail:read;
      • phone_voicemail:write;
      • recording:read;
      • recording:write;
      • tsp:read
      • tsp:write;
      • user:read;
      • user:write;
      • user_info:read;
      • user_zak:read;
      • webinar:read;
      • webinar:write
   9. Click Generate Token button on Connection Manager UI to generate tokens.
   10. That's it!

   Fill in all required parameters and set optional parameters if needed:

   ZoomDSN

   Zoom

   OAuth Authentication [OAuth]

   https://api.zoom.us/v2

   Required Parameters
   ClientId	Fill-in the parameter...
   ClientSecret	Fill-in the parameter...
   RedirectUrl	Fill-in the parameter...
   TokenUrl	Fill-in the parameter...
   AuthorizationUrl	Fill-in the parameter...
   Optional Parameters
   Scope
   RetryMode	RetryWhenStatusCodeMatch
   RetryStatusCodeList	429
   RetryCountMax	5
   RetryMultiplyWaitTime	True

   

6. Once the data source connection has been configured, it's time to configure the SQL query. Select the Preview tab and then click Query Builder button to configure the SQL query:

   Zoom Connector can be used to integrate Zoom REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Meetings, Invite, Users, Accounts and more.

   ZoomDSN

   

7. Start by selecting the Table or Endpoint you are interested in and then configure the parameters. This will generate a query that we will use in MS Excel to retrieve data from Zoom. Hit OK button to use this query in the next step.

   SELECT *  FROM Meetings 
   WITH(
     UserId ='me' -- enter user id or email
   )
   --You can get UserId by selecting from 'list_users' endpoint and also this value available as dropdown value for UserId parameter.

   
   Some parameters configured in this window will be passed to the Zoom API, e.g. filtering parameters. It means that filtering will be done on the server side (instead of the client side), enabling you to get only the meaningful data much faster.

8. Now hit Preview Data button to preview the data using the generated SQL query. If you are satisfied with the result, use this query in MS Excel:

   Zoom Connector can be used to integrate Zoom REST API in your App / BI Tools. You can read/write data about Meetings, Invite, Users, Accounts and more.

   ZoomDSN

   SELECT *  FROM Meetings 
   WITH(
     UserId ='me' -- enter user id or email
   )
   --You can get UserId by selecting from 'list_users' endpoint and also this value available as dropdown value for UserId parameter.

   
   You can also access data quickly from the tables dropdown by selecting <Select table>.
   A WHERE clause, LIMIT keyword will be performed on the client side, meaning that the whole result set will be retrieved from the Zoom API first, and only then the filtering will be applied to the data. If possible, it is recommended to use parameters in Query Builder to filter the data on the server side (in Zoom servers).

9. Click OK to finish creating the data source.

Read data in Excel from the DSN

1. In Excel click Data, then select Get Data, proceed with From Other Sources and choose From ODBC item. This will get data from ODBC data source we created:

   

2. A small window opens, then simply select the data source you created in previous steps:

   ZoomDSN

   

3. Most likely, you will be asked to authenticate to a newly created DSN. Just select Windows authentication option together with Use my current credentials option:

   ZoomDSN

   

4. Finally, you will be asked to select a table or view to get data from. Select one and load the data!

   

5. Finally, finally, use data extracted from Zoom API in an Excel worksheet:
