How to auto-open pre-assigned breakout rooms in Zoom

I want to create Zoom meeting using API request and get the join_url. The meeting will have multiple breakout rooms and pre-assigned participants. The creation request was successful and meeting with pre-assigned breakout rooms was created and enabled:

{
  "uuid": "phdGwf0wRx2E84I0YdfuVQ==",
  "id": 83503657198,
  ....
  "join_url": "https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83503657198?pwd=rjmfFnPOVfWa.1",
  ....
  "settings": {
      "breakout_room": {
        "enable": true,
        "rooms": [
            {
                "name": "Room 1",
                "participants": [
                    "***********"
                ]
            },
            {
                "name": "Room 2",
                "participants": [
                    "***********"
                ]
            }
        ]
     },
  },
  ....
}

When I try to enter the meeting as email address, breakout rooms are still not opened, so the host needs to enter the meeting and open all pre-assigned rooms. I have 2 problems here:

1- Most important is that I need to open all breakout rooms automatically, even if I need to make a script or a bot that runs on the linux server that I will upload my system to, or if there is an endpoint that I can open all breakout rooms manually, that would be convenient.

2- When I try to enter as host from web, the In Meeting (advanced) - Breakout rooms options are not the same as the ones I find in the created meeting; but if I open using a Zoom workplace app, settings are successfully loaded. It says in the settings that it requires version 6.0.10 or later. I don't know if this means that this setting will only work on apps only and not web.
