Avoiding Waiting room and how to use passcode instead with API??

Hi,

I've really tried everything, but it's still not working. I did the following steps—could you please check if I missed anything?

  1. I’m using the Pro plan and I want to create a meeting via API where two other participants can join without me being present.
  2. To achieve this, I disabled the Waiting Room in my Account Settings.
  3. I understand that I must enable either a passcode, authentication, or a waiting room. So, I set up my API configuration as follows and wrote a Python function accordingly:

    def create_meeting(access_token, row😞

        headers = {
            'Authorization': f'Bearer {access_token}',
            'Content-Type': 'application/json'
        }

        start_time = row['meeting_date']
        start_time_iso = start_time.strftime("%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S")  # ISO 8601 format
        alternative_hosts = ",".join([row["email1"], row["email2"]])
        data = {
            "topic": f"{row['type']} with {row['nick1']} and {row['nick2']}",
            "default_password" : True,
            "password" : "123456",
            "type": 2,  # reserved meeting
            "start_time": start_time_iso,
            "duration": int(row['time']),  #by minutes
            "scheduled_for": row["user1_email"],
            "settings": {
                "join_before_host": True,
                "jbh_time" : 0,
                "mute_upon_entry": True,
                "waiting_room": False,
                "auto_recording": "cloud",  
                "recording_audio_transcription": True,
                "allow_multiple_devices":True,
                #"alternative_hosts" : alternative_hosts,
                #"alternative_hosts_email_notification" : True,
                "authentication_exception" : [
                    {
                        "email" : "***********",
                        "name" : "myname"
                    }
                ],
            },
            "calendar_type" : 2
        }
           
        response = requests.post(url, headers=headers, json=data)
        if response.status_code == 201:
            return response.json()  
        else:
            raise Exception(f"Failed to create meeting: {response.json()}")


    Anyone who can solve this??
