Zoho Vertical Solutions' APIs provide a developer-centric method to interact with and extend the capabilities of your Zoho Vertical Solution. These APIs are designed specifically for your solution orgs. This guide offers information on how to authenticate, access, and use the various APIs offered by Zoho Vertical Solutions. Whether you are looking to integrate, automate, or enhance your applications, our APIs provide powerful tools to meet your needs.
Authentication using OAuth 2.0
To ensure secure access to your data, Zoho Vertical Solutions uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. OAuth 2.0 is a robust and flexible authentication framework that allows you to obtain limited access tokens to authenticate API requests without exposing user credentials.
- Register your application with Zoho to obtain the Client ID and Client Secret.
- Make an authorization request and obtain the grant token.
- Generate access and refresh tokens using the grant token generated in Step 2.
- Refresh the access token using the refresh token generated in Step 3, when the access token expires.
Once authenticated, include the access token in the Authorization header of your API requests to access the resources.
Zoho Vertical Solutions offers a range of REST APIs that follow standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on your data. These APIs are designed to be easy to use and integrate, providing you with the ability to manage your data seamlessly.
The Bulk APIs allow you to perform large-scale data operations asynchronously. This is particularly useful when you need to insert, update, or delete a significant number of records in one go.
Stay informed about changes in your data with Notification APIs. These APIs enable you to receive real-time updates about data modifications, ensuring your application remains in sync with Zoho Vertical Solutions.
The Composite API enables you to perform multiple operations in a single API request. This allows you to bundle several CRUD operations together, reducing the number of API calls and improving efficiency.
