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.
