API gotchas
-
Zoho uses datacenter-specific URLs for authentication. Make sure to use the correct datacenter domain extension (
com,eu,in,com.cn,com.au) based on where your user’s account is registered. -
Zoho has rate limits that vary by service. Check the specific service documentation for details.
-
If your application needs to access multiple Zoho services, you need to request scopes for each service during the authorization process.
-
For production applications, consider implementing multi-datacenter support to handle users from different regions.
Bigin-specific gotchas
- You can make your OAuth app cross-data-centers with these instructions. This means that a single OAuth app will be able to query the Zoho API for Zoho accounts from the US, EU, etc.
- Bigin API has a rate limit of 10,000 API requests per day per organization.
