Zoho API

About Zoho APIs

Zoho offers a range of APIs (application to program interface) that allow easy integration of Zoho’s business-focused services, such as sales, marketing, human resources, IT, and help desk, using any programming language to extract or input data into customized applications.

What is Zoho?

Zoho provides a suite of software that includes 40+ applications to cover all a business’s needs including finance, IT, marketing, and human resources. Zoho also offers customer relationship management (CRM) software to help businesses build better customer relationships and target new customers more efficiently by combining sales, marketing, and customer support activities, and organizing a business’s process, policy, and people under a single platform. One of Zoho’s most popular CRM services is Zoho Desk which provides a platform for customer service and support that can be integrated into any application using the Zoho Desk API.

How does a Zoho API work?

Most of the APIs offered by Zoho adheres to the REST (representational state transfer) architecture which functions by making an HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) request to the web address for the API being queried. The request is first authenticated using an OAuth token, then the API responds to the request by sending the requested data in XML or JSON format or responds with an error code.

Who are Zoho APIs for?

Zoho’s suite of APIs allows developers to integrate the entire range of Zoho’s business-centered software solutions into their own customized applications. Zoho Developer allows developers to build 100% scalable applications up to enterprise-level using drag-and-drop tools on Zoho’s cloud.

Why are Zoho APIs important?

APIs from Zoho offer developers the possibility to use the programming language of their choice to build customized applications to integrate into their own business infrastructure or to sell on Zoho’s Marketplace to Zoho’s 50+ million users.

What you can expect from a Zoho API?

Since Zoho’s APIs follow RESTful principles developers can expect easy integration of Zoho’s services into their own applications. The Zoho Developer Console gives developers access to Zoho’s own programming language Deluge which provides a simple syntax to build applications without worrying about database or cloud infrastructure. Deluge can be used to add complex logic to an application using simple drag-and-drop tools.
