hello, I need to use zoom rest API and Meetings SKD in my tauri app, for that I need a backend service like express.js in node.js.
Is it possible to run node.js server in tauri app , any examples or alternative solutions, suggestions?
Thank you!

Why do you think you need express.js or node?
I haven't looked that deep into it, but it looks like there's an electron sdk? https://developers.zoom.us/docs/meeting-sdk/electron/download-and-install/

and what about rest api?
i still need to send requests from beckend service like express.js right?
also most likely I need video sdk not meeting sdk , which don't have electron version- https://developers.zoom.us/docs/video-sdk/

it has a web sdk though which hopefully works as-is inside the webview
fresh scaffold
yes but here is thes
The Zoom API 31 cannot be called from the frontend. You will see cors errors 8. You have to make requests to the Zoom API from a server side application 71.
from here
so I need server side appilcation

why the hell do they have a web sdk if they know it doesn't work

i am not sure but they rest api failing from react app
so you don't suggest to use node in tauri?
may be I can do requests from rust?

why the hell do they have a **web** sdk if they know it doesn't work
that's the most stupid thing i've seen today

that could work, the rust side (including tauri's http js api) doesn't care about cors
there's also a crate for it if you wanna go full rust https://crates.io/crates/zoom-api

what do you think of this? - https://github.com/Perfect7M/taurine

ehh, personally not much tbh.
or well
more like "it depends"
many people are quick to jump the gun on bundling a nodejs runtime with their tauri app but there are reasons why tauri doesn't include nodejs
but yes, it has its use-cases but it should be more like the last resort, not the first thing people try
so in your case, if tauri's http js api doesn't work and you don't want to work with rust at all, then nodejs would be okay imo
but after all, it's completely up to you, if you prefer a nodejs runtime in your app then we can't stop you :D

Sooo, i'm a bit confused, there seem to be 2 video sdk.
The one you linked should work in tauri's webview as-is (probably inside an iframe) since it was designed for that apparently. I don't think the discussion comment you linked was about this sdk.
Either way, using that sdk from outside a web context doesn't make sense since you'd loose access to webrtc which it apparently needs.
Then there's the second video sdk rest api which is just a bunch of simple http requests which would work in rust just fine.
