Today, I am pleased to announce an important change in our Developer API.

At present, we are supporting both HTTP and HTTPS while implementing our developer API. In another 4 weeks, 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 help you to protect third-party integration from security problems during data transfer. 

After April 28, 2011, if you still use the HTTP in your application, API requests will not be executed (i.e. data will not be transferred between Zoho CRM and your application). Hence, I would like to strongly recommend our developer community to use the Zoho CRM API with HTTPS requests only, at the earliest. For more details, please refer our Developer API docs.

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

Best Regards,

(Team Zoho CRM)
