For the the AutoHotkey Webinars we use Zoom which is a great, robust, inexpensive tool for hosting online meetings/webinars. They have a free version which allows you to connect with people for up to 45 minutes!
Below I walk through the following code where I demonstrate how I extract information about users & their meetings. This is a great example of how many vendors offer APIs to connect to their tools.
IniRead, API_Token ,Auth.ini,API, Token
IniRead, API_Key ,Auth.ini,API, Key
IniRead, API_Secret,Auth.ini,API, Secret
;~ EndPoint:="https://api.zoom.us/v1/user/list" ;get list of users under your account
;~ EndPoint:="https://api.zoom.us/v1/meeting/list" ;get list of meetings for a given user
EndPoint:="https://api.zoom.us/v1/meeting/get" ;get specific meeting info
;~ QueryString:=QueryString_Builder({"api_key":API_Key,"api_secret":API_Secret,"data_type":"XML","host_id":"pPzEua3eSDerCD2WO3JbUg"})
QueryString:=QueryString_Builder({"api_key":API_Key,"api_secret":API_Secret,"data_type":"XML","id":"693773857","host_id":"pPzEua3eSDerCD2WO3JbUg"})
;********API call**********************
HTTP := ComObjCreate("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") ;Create COM Object
HTTP.Open("POST", EndPoint . QueryString) ;GET & POST are most frequent, Make sure you UPPERCASE
HTTP.Send() ;If POST request put data in "Payload" variable
Response_data:= HTTP.ResponseText ;Save the text that is returned
SciTE_Output(Response_data) ;Text,Clear=1,LineBreak=1,Exit=0
;***********query string builder*******************
QueryString_Builder(kvp){
for key, value in kvp
queryString.=((A_Index="1")?(url "?"):("&")) key "=" value
return queryString
}
