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.
Inventory-specific gotchas
- Zoho Inventory API has region-specific endpoints. You need to use the correct endpoint based on the user’s region.
- The Inventory API has rate limits that vary based on your Zoho Inventory plan.
