Help with Using API

Help with Using API

Hey.

I'm trying to sync our internal user list with the contacts in Zoho. Trying to use your API to do this. Unfortunately, I don't think the documentation your supplied is enough.

I'll ask a few things that has confused me so far - can you clear them up. If its documented somewhere a URL to that page is enough.

1. Authtoken
When creating Authtoken, I have to specify the scope( https://support.makeadiff.in/support/makeadifference/SetupPageLayout.do). Can I see a list of all the possible scope so that I can pick and choose?

2. Parameters
https://www.zoho.com/support/help/add-records.html
What are these things 'portal' and 'department' in request parameters?

This is an account I use...
https://support.makeadiff.in/support/makeadifference/ShowHomePage.do#Contacts

portal is support
and
department is makeadifference ?

Where can I find some documentation on what these are supposed to mean?


3. Sample Code
Is there anyway I can see some sample code on how to access these APIs?
