I just noticed that the API function called getCVRecords is scheduled to be deprecated on October 15.  I'm writing to urge the powers that be at Zoho to reconsider that decision and keep that function available to developers.

This function is very handy because it allows regular CRM users to select, and easily modify, the records that are presented to an external system.  Regular users today can use the powerful selection criteria in custom views to change which data is sent to a external system.  No programmer intervention is required.

As far as I know, no other API function provides the kind of flexibility offered by getCVRecords.  If this function is removed we will always have to request many more records than necessary, and then modify our code to recreate the selection criteria.

I'm hoping you will be able to keep this valuable function, or replace it with something that provides the same flexibility.
