Creating a meeting from API directly

Sohayb Saleh 1

Hi everyone,

I am trying to integrate my web app with Microsoft Teams to create a meeting, But I don't want to login from frontend.
I wanna store the email and password or a secret key that will allow me to contact the API and create the meeting using my web app.
Is there a possible way to do that?

Just to explain more the application is a recruitment system that will create the interviews on Microsoft Teams as events in my calendar and sends invite to the user.

Regards,

Hi @Sohayb Saleh

Teams tag is mainly focused on the general issue of Microsoft Teams troubleshooting. According to your description, your question is more related to Teams api development, which we do not support. So I will also add teams-app-dev tag to your thread. Thanks for your understanding and patience!

Hi @Sohayb Saleh ,

You can use application permissions using client id and client secret for user-post-events and set it as isOnlineMeeting property to true that will create a online teams meeting.
Refer to this example Create and enable an event as an online meeting.

Alternatively you can use online meetings with application permission, but that needs Application Access Policy to be configured.
Refer to this documentation for more inputs. application-post-onlinemeetings
Hope this helps.

Thanks,
How can I get the correct token, I've tried the token API
But I received this error while trying to create a meeting

{ "error": { "code": "BadRequest", "message": "/me request is only valid with delegated authentication flow.", "innerError": { "date": "2022-02-15T13:51:57", "request-id": "f09b409a-2715-47ce-a27e-36007f3a7034", "client-request-id": "f09b409a-2715-47ce-a27e-36007f3a7034" } } }

Hi @Sohayb Saleh ,

As the error message suggests /me only works with delegated authentication flow(the current logged user), and since you are using application permission(for client credential authentication flow) you can use below API reference.

POST /users/{id | userPrincipalName}/events

You can refer to this documentation on how to get user with user id or userPrinicpalName
user-get

Hope this helps.
