Setting up the API key

Setting up the API key

Hello, I am trying to start using zoho as our CRM, and the first thing I need to do is importing the leads
I must do that through the API, and I have spent the past 3 hours going circles with Oauth, creating apps, clients and whatnot. 
So I decided to finally ask, what the heck am I missing, or is it really that complicated to get an API key to add the leads?
P.s I am looking to use simple CURL requests only.


Thank you, Tomas.
