Invalid OAuth Token When Using Zoho CRM API with Postman

Invalid OAuth Token When Using Zoho CRM API with Postman

We're in the process of integrating Zoho CRM with our Django backend and currently testing the API endpoints via Postman. I've forked Zoho's official CRM REST API collection in Postman for this.

Steps Taken:

  1. Created a Self Client via Zoho API Console:
    URL: https://api-console.zoho.in/client/xxxxx

    • Set scope: ZohoCRM.modules.ALL

    • Validity: 10 minutes

    • Used region domain: .in (since we’re using Zoho India services)

  2. Generated Authorization Code using the Authorization Code Grant flow.

  3. Exchanged Authorization Code for Tokens:

    Request:

    URL: https://accounts.zoho.in/oauth/v2/token
Method: POST
Authorization: None
Body (form-data):
{
  client_id: "my_client_id",
  client_secret: "my_client_secret",
  redirect_uri: "https://www.getpostman.com/oauth2/callback",
  code: "generated_code_from_api_console",
  grant_type: "authorization_code"
}

    Response:

    {
  "access_token": "1000.xxxxxx.yyyyyy",
  "refresh_token": "1000.111111.222222",
  "scope": "ZohoCRM.modules.ALL",
  "api_domain": "https://www.zohoapis.in",
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 3600
}

  4. Attempted to Upsert a Lead:

    Request:

    URL: https://www.zohoapis.in/crm/v7/Leads/upsert
Method: POST
Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken 1000.xxxxxx.yyyyyy
Body:
{
  "data": [
    {
      "Email": "testuser@test.com",
      "Last_Name": "user",
      "First_Name": "test"
    }
  ],
  "duplicate_check_fields": ["Email"]
}

    Response:

    {
  "code": "INVALID_TOKEN",
  "details": {},
  "message": "invalid oauth token",
  "status": "error"
}

Notes:

  • I've verified that both the token generation and API requests are using the .in domain.

  • Tried this in both the production and sandbox environments:
