Navigate to the My Apps tab.
Click the New app button at the top right.

Company or application URL: Enter https://creator.zoho.com
Redirect URI: Enter https://creator.zoho.com/integration/oauth/callback
Note: Please note that the redirect URI is DC specific and will vary based on your account's base URL. For example, users whose accounts are in the EU data center must use the URI https://creator.zoho.eu/integration/oauth/callback. Learn more about Creator Base URL.
Accept the Terms & Conditions and click Create app.
Your new app will be created and displayed on the App details page.
From the left-hand menu, click Configuration.
Your Client ID will be displayed.
