Dear Users,

At present, we are supporting both HTTP and HTTPS in our API implementations. However, starting 4th week of May 2011, we are planning to support all API transactions only via HTTPS and permanently discontinue the HTTP protocol.

This additional SSL, 256-bit security system will make our third party integrations more robust especially with the data transfer processes. 

After 3rd week of May 2011, if you still use HTTP in your code, API requests will be redirected to HTTPS. If your client does not handle redirection then the API might not work. Hence, we strongly recommend that you use Zoho Creator APIs with HTTPS.

For example, an API request to get the applications list should look

like https://creator.zoho.com/api/<format>/applications/apikey=<apikey>&ticket=<ticket>&limit=<n>

instead of http://creator.zoho.com/api/<format>/applications/apikey=<apikey>&ticket=<ticket>&limit=<n>

Please do not hesitate to contact us, in case you need any help during transition.

Thank you,

Saran

PS. We have already communicated this to all our API users through email.
