Question about Transitioning away from JWT apps

Hi, I'm new to creating app integrations, the company I work for develops a software product with an app integration with zoom and we've noticed it's stopped working, so I was asked to find a solution. Our platform requires an API Key, API Secret, and an IM Chat History token, so I suspect the issue is that we were using a JWT app and since it depreciated, it's disappeared from our account, breaking the integration. Are there any other app types I should be aware of, or is this the only possibility?

 

Assuming I'm correct, it looks like we are supposed to use an OAuth or OAuth Server-to-Server app instead, but it does not appear that either of those have the same types of credentials. Is there a way to make these work without modifying our company's software, or will it require additional development on our side?

@VGyrus - the Server to Server applications were intended to be the replacement to JWT.  You can add the specific scopes you need to the application, and it is not actually tied to a specific user, so that it can run without requiring user credentials.  It is not a 1:1 replacement, but it will be the closest to what you had and require the least amount of rework.
