JS API documentation

This help page is for users in Creator 6. If you are in the older version (Creator 5), click here . Know your Creator version .

Download the latest JS SDK library from the CDN URL given below and link it using the script tag.

CDN URL - https://js.zohostatic.com/creator/widgets/version/1.0/widgetsdk-min.js

Initialize the SDK using the below method and use then block to write the logic

ZOHO.CREATOR.init()
.then(function(data) {
//Code goes here
});

To get the value from the parameters configured in pages, use the below method

var queryParams = ZOHO.CREATOR.UTIL.getQueryParams();

To get the login user's email address, use the below method

var initparams = ZOHO.CREATOR.UTIL.getInitParams();

Sample response:

{
"scope": "zylkercorp",
"envUrlFragment": "/environment/development",
"appLinkName": "widgetapp",
"loginUser": " john@zylker.com "
}

The values of the image field will be an API endpoint in case the image is uploaded from computer or phone, use the below method to convert the endpoint to image data and assign the value to the source of the image tag. In another case, the image can be a public image link, and this method works for both cases.

var imageTag = document.getElementById("imgtag");
var imageURL = "/api/v2/zylker/Contacts/view/All_Contacts/66359000000015039/Upload/download";
ZOHO.CREATOR.UTIL.setImageData(imageTag, imageURL, callbackFunction);

Widget API allows customers to push and pull data from other apps in their Creator account. The success of the API call to push or pull data in other apps depends on the permissions provided for users of that app.

Record APIs

These APIs help you perform different tasks with the records of the application. The various Record APIs are as follows:

Note : appName needs to be passed only when you need to push or pull data from other apps in your account.

Add Record
Update Record
Get All Records
Get Specific Record Using ID
Get Record Count
Delete Record
Upload File
