Zoho Developer Hangout (ZDH) - Episode 14 | Zoho's APIs - The Good, the Bad, and the Not-So-Ugly
Hello everyone,
By serving as gateways for accessing and sharing functionalities and data across applications, APIs empower developers to tap into external resources and services that enrich their applications with enhanced features and solutions.
@Eric Chrobak, a consistent top contributor in the Zoho Developer Community, says, "Zoho APIs can be fun to use. For core applications like CRM, Desk, and Books, there is an abundance of API endpoints to use and play with. Whether you are developing in or out of Zoho, there is a lot of commonality."
In this episode, he discusses the API documentation, limitations, and gotchas, using the API in Deluge, and then a demonstration of a use case outside of Zoho with a Ruby application.
