i am using BBB .80 and i am using 2 procedures to generate API links for creation and deletion of the meeting room.

1. API buddy
2. BBB extension for Chrome.
3. self generated link (as mentioned in API doc)


what API generate is not working it always says
<response><returncode>FAILED</returncode><messageKey>checksumError</messageKey><message>You did not pass the checksum security check</message></response>

when i try it the extension of Chrome. it works great. but i can not enable recording and other tasks.

as mentioned in BBB API official documents i tried creating manual checksum.
i am just following what is said in the howto i even calculated the checksum  of this string "createname=Test+Meeting&meetingID=abc123&attendeePW=111222&moderatorPW=333444639259d4-9dd8-4b25-bf01-95f9567eaf4b" mantioned in API doc and my result was accurate. but when i try to use put the calculated checksum when has been generated with my actual server salt it give me the above mentioned error "you did not pass the checksum security check)

now i dont know what to do to create new meeting rooms with recording functionality manually by passing the parameters in BBB API.

however, as i motioned earlier extension for browser chrome is working
but the problem is that i can not able to generate exact checksum as generated via extension. i dont know what is the combination that they are using. but it is working via api. secondly the extention support only version .64 and .70. not with .80


Thanks.

Hi Muhammad,

In the future, please post developer related questions to bigbluebutton-dev.

To generate API calls, check out the API Mate from the MConf project.  Think of API Mate as the next-generation for API Buddy.  See



Regards,... Fred
