Due to the current API limits, we are unable to integrate our application with the Zoho CRM. For each Account, we maintain data in an external database and would like that data to be pushed into the CRM. I have setup custom fields for the accounts in Zoho and have written up the code that pulls data out of our database and updates it into Zoho.
The issue is that we have more than 500 customers (growing every month). The sync needs to happen daily. But, the API has a limit of 250 requests per day.
Is there a way to do batch updates as a single API call? For example, getRecords allows you to retrieve 200 records as a single API call.
An alternative option would be to have our script output a CSV file which can then be pushed into Zoho. However, there is no API for this and we (ideally) would like to have the sync between our database and zoho automated.
