How to get Zoom Transcripts with the Zoom API

In this tutorial, we explored how to transcribe Zoom cloud recordings using the AssemblyAI Python SDK and Zoom's Server-to-Server OAuth API. We first created a Server-to-Server OAuth app on the Zoom marketplace and obtained its credentials (Client ID, Client Secret, and Redirect URL). Then we used these credentials to fetch an access token from Zoom’s authorization server, which would allow us to make authenticated requests to the Zoom API. Finally, we returned this download URL. We then transcribed this audio file using AssemblyAI’s Python SDK in one line of code by calling its Transcriber object's transcribe method and printed out the transcription. We also saw how to analyze transcripts with LLMs and Audio Intelligence models, such as generating action items using LeMUR, performing entity detection, and detecting speakers. We ended by discussing some additional resources for learning about AI and staying up-to-date on our latest content releases.
