How to Make Generic API Request (Bulk Write) — Zoom Connector for SSIS

Prerequisites

Before we begin, make sure the following prerequisites are met:

1. SSIS designer installed. Sometimes it is referred as BIDS or SSDT (download it from Microsoft).
2. Basic knowledge of SSIS package development using Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services.
3. SSIS PowerPack is installed (if you are new to SSIS PowerPack, then get started!).

Make Generic API Request (Bulk Write) in SSIS

1. Begin with opening Visual Studio and Create a New Project.

2. Select Integration Service Project and in new project window set the appropriate name and location for project. And click OK.

   In the new SSIS project screen you will find the following:

   • SSIS ToolBox on left side bar
   • Solution Explorer and Property Window on right bar
   • Control flow, data flow, event Handlers, Package Explorer in tab windows
   • Connection Manager Window in the bottom
   
   Note: If you don't see ZappySys SSIS PowerPack Task or Components in SSIS Toolbox, please refer to this help link.

3. Now, Drag and Drop SSIS Data Flow Task from SSIS Toolbox. Double click on the Data Flow Task to see Data Flow designer.

   

4. Read the data from the source, being any desired source component. In example we will use ZappySys Dummy Data Source component.

5. From the SSIS Toolbox drag and drop API Destination (Predefined Templates) on the Data Flow Designer surface and connect source component with it, and double click to edit it.
   

   

6. Select New Connection to create a new connection:

7. Use a preinstalled Zoom Connector from Popular Connector List or press Search Online radio button to download Zoom Connector. Once downloaded simply use it in the configuration:
   

   Zoom

   

8. Now it's time to configure authentication. Firstly, configure authentication settings in Zoom service and then proceed by configuring API Connection Manager. Start by expanding an authentication type:

   OAuth Authentication

   Zoom authentication

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

   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;
