# Zoho CRM

Access the Zoho CRM API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage leads, contacts, accounts, deals, and other CRM modules with full CRUD operations including search and bulk operations. Also supports organization details, user management, and module metadata retrieval.

## Quick Start

```bash
# List leads
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads?fields=First_Name,Last_Name,Email')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

## Base URL

```
https://api.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/{endpoint}
```

Maton proxies requests to `www.zohoapis.com/crm/v8` and automatically injects your OAuth token.

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your Zoho CRM OAuth connections at `https://api.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=zoho-crm&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Create Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'zoho-crm'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Get Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "zoho-crm",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

### Delete Connection

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Zoho CRM connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads?fields=First_Name,Last_Name,Email')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

## Security & Permissions

- Access is scoped to leads, contacts, accounts, deals, and other CRM records within the connected Zoho CRM account.
- **All write operations require explicit user approval.** Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

## Pagination

Zoho CRM uses page-based pagination with optional page tokens for large datasets:

```bash
GET /zoho-crm/crm/v8/{module_api_name}?fields=First_Name,Last_Name&page=1&per_page=50
```

Response includes pagination info:

```json
{
  "data": [...],
  "info": {
    "per_page": 50,
    "count": 50,
    "page": 1,
    "sort_by": "id",
    "sort_order": "desc",
    "more_records": true,
    "next_page_token": "token_value",
    "page_token_expiry": "2026-02-07T01:10:56-08:00"
  }
}
```

- For up to 2,000 records: Use `page` parameter (increment each request)
- For 2,000+ records: Use `page_token` from previous response
- Page tokens expire after 24 hours

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

```javascript
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads?fields=First_Name,Last_Name,Email',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
```

### Python

```python
import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'fields': 'First_Name,Last_Name,Email'}
)
data = response.json()
```

## Notes

- The `fields` parameter is **required** for list operations (max 50 fields)
- Module API names are case-sensitive (e.g., `Leads`, not `leads`)
- Maximum 100 records per create/update request
- Maximum 100 records per delete request
- Maximum 200 records returned per GET request
- Maximum 2,000 records without page_token; up to 100,000 with page_token
- Use field API names (not display names) in requests
- If you receive a scope error, contact Maton support at support@maton.ai with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case
- Empty datasets return HTTP 204 (No Content) with empty body
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Missing Zoho CRM connection, missing required parameter, or invalid request |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key, or OAuth scope mismatch |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Zoho CRM API |

### Common Error Codes

| Code | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `OAUTH_SCOPE_MISMATCH` | OAuth token lacks required permissions for the endpoint |
| `MANDATORY_NOT_FOUND` | Required field is missing |
| `INVALID_DATA` | Data type mismatch or format error |
| `DUPLICATE_DATA` | Record violates unique field constraint |
| `RECORD_NOT_FOUND` | The specified record ID does not exist |

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

```bash
echo $MATON_API_KEY
```

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

```bash
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
```

### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `zoho-crm`. For example:

- Correct: `https://api.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads`
- Incorrect: `https://api.maton.ai/crm/v8/Leads`
