Sunsetting Zoho CRM API Version 1.0 - Updated (Dec 12, 2019)

Hello folks!

The progeny of Zoho CRM APIs is here and we're immensely proud to introduce the latest version, V2, of APIs. Our API team has been hard at work to bring to you an API platform that has OAuth2 support, easy to use JSON response formats and a lot more.

The newer version of our APIs can do everything it's predecessor can, and a lot more! We can't wait to share what we have in store for you. Please have a look at our support documents below, for more.

API V2 Help document


List of Features of V2
  1. OAuth 2.0
  2. Server side SDKs
  3. Javascript SDKs
  4. Mobile SDKs
  5. Connections
  6. Functions
Advantages of V2

1. Better security on using OAuth 2.0, which comes with scope for each API call. This ensures that even if tokens are disclosed, it can't be misused. Furthermore, the tokens are valid only for an hour.

2. Multi DC support.

3. The daily limits of API calls have been revised to hundred thousand calls per day.

4. API 2.0 follows REST standard and facilitates easy JSON parsing, in which all APIs follow a similar response structure.

5. API dashboard for better usage analysis.

6. "API Names" have been introduced and as a result, changes in custom fields' and custom modules' labels won't affect your existing integrations.

Having said this, it is time to bid goodbye to the old version. Please note down a few important dates on your calendar to prepare yourself for this change. This is to ensure you have complete clarity about the API roadmap.
