API gotchas

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.
People-specific gotchas
