Launching the API Guide for Zoho Sprints

The term "API" stands for "Application Programming Interface". It is a set of rules that help you create and integrate applications that can access the data from a different server or an application. Breaking this definition further, it is a medium for two different platforms to interact with each other without any glitches.

How important is an API to a customer?

APIs play a significant role in our daily routine. Right from booking a cab to one's workplace, making an online money transfer to a friend, buying a favorite dress online, to booking a family suite room for the upcoming vacation, APIs work behind the scenes and save a lot of time. They make lives easier. They make a customer trust a service.

How important is an API to a service provider / product owner?

As a business owner, you can have a better customer reach with the APIs. Data sharing has exponentially become faster and efficient. It also helps you to track customer behavior online and market your product / service to the targeted audience efficiently. That's why e-commerce rules the world now. It wouldn't have been a reality without APIs.

What's in Zoho Sprints API?

Zoho Sprints API is REST based and it uses OAuth 2.0, a delegation protocol, for authorization and user authentication. Secured data sharing has always been a challenge in the world of APIs and OAuth 2.0 solves this by enabling secured access to protected resources. Access is granted through tokens that expire after a certain period of time. The following are the major steps involved in setting up the API in Zoho Sprints.
