# Exploring Zoom's REST and GraphQL APIs with Postman

Zoom is an essential tool for remote communication, collaboration, and video conferencing. With [Zoom's REST APIs](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/#rest-apis) and [GraphQL API](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/graphql/overview/), developers can build custom integrations, automate workflows, and create new functionalities to enhance their Zoom experience. In a recent livestream with Zoom developer advocates [Ojus Save](https://twitter.com/ojusave) and [Gianni LaTange,](https://blog.zoom.us/author/glatange/) we explored the [Zoom public workspace](https://www.postman.com/zoom-developer/workspace/zoom-public-workspace/overview), now available in Postman: ![](https://blog.postman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/image3-4.png) By using Postman as a repository for Zoom’s extensive library of over 600[ API endpoints](https://developers.zoom.us/docs/api/rest/using-zoom-apis/), developers can build apps that can read and write to Zoom’s robust backend infrastructure and mirror some of the most in-demand features available in the Zoom web portal. For instance, you can create a new meeting; create, add, and remove users; view reports and usage dashboards, and much more. ![](https://blog.postman.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/image2-4.png)A collection in Zoom's public workspace.
