# Zoho Books

> Access the Zoho Books API in 2 minutes 💨

> [tab] 🚀 Quickstart
>
> **1. Create an integration**
>
> In Nango ([free signup](https://app.nango.dev)), go to [Integrations](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations) -> *Configure New Integration* -> *Zoho*.
>
> > [!NOTE]
> >
> > Nango has a [Nango-managed OAuth app](https://nango.dev/docs/guides/auth/auth-guide.md#nango-managed-oauth-apps) you can use in development and production. Select it when you create the integration.
>
> **2. Authorize Zoho Books**
>
> Go to [Connections](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections) -> *Add Test Connection* -> *Authorize*, then log in to Zoho Books. Later, you'll let your users do the same directly from your app.
>
> **3. Call the Zoho Books API**
>
> Let's make your first request to the Zoho Books API (fetch a list of contacts). Replace the placeholders below with your [Environment API key](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/api-keys.md), [integration ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/integrations), and [connection ID](https://app.nango.dev/dev/connections):
>
> > [tab] cURL
> >
> > ```bash theme={null}
> > curl "https://api.nango.dev/proxy/books/v3/contacts" \
> >   -H "Authorization: Bearer <NANGO-API-KEY>" \
> >   -H "Provider-Config-Key: <INTEGRATION-ID>" \
> >   -H "Connection-Id: <CONNECTION-ID>"
> > ```
>
> > [tab] Node
> >
> > Install Nango's backend SDK with `npm i @nangohq/node`. Then run:
> >
> > ```typescript theme={null}
> > import { Nango } from '@nangohq/node';
> >
> > const nango = new Nango({ apiKey: '<NANGO-API-KEY>' });
> >
> > const res = await nango.get({
> >     endpoint: '/books/v3/contacts',
> >     providerConfigKey: '<INTEGRATION-ID>',
> >     connectionId: '<CONNECTION-ID>'
> > });
> >
> > console.log(JSON.stringify(res.data.contacts, null, 2));
> > ```
>
> Or fetch credentials dynamically via the [Node SDK](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/backend-sdk/node.md#get-a-connection-with-credentials) or [API](https://nango.dev/docs/reference/backend/http-api/connections/get.md).
>
> ✅ You're connected! Check the [Logs](https://app.nango.dev/dev/logs) tab in Nango to inspect requests.
>
> > [!TIP]
> >
> > Next step: [Embed the auth flow](https://nango.dev/docs/guides/primitives/auth.md) in your app to let your users connect their Zoho Books accounts.

> [tab] 🧑‍💻 OAuth app setup
>
> **1. Create a Zoho account**
>
> If you don't already have one, go to [Zoho's signup page](https://www.zoho.com/signup.html) and create one.
>
> **2. Access the Zoho API Console**
>
> 1. Go to the [Zoho API Console](https://api-console.zoho.com/).
> 2. Sign in with your Zoho account if prompted.
>
> **3. Create a new client**
>
> 1. In the API Console, click on the **+ ADD CLIENT** button and select **Server-based Applications** as your client type.
> 2. Fill in all the required information. For **Authorized Redirect URIs** enter `https://api.nango.dev/oauth/callback`
> 3. Click **Create** to register your client. You will then receive a **Client ID** and **Client Secret**, which are required to configure your integration in Nango.
>
> **4. Configure Multi-DC**
>
> 1. On the **Settings** tab, check the option to use the same OAuth credentials for all data centers, this enables you to handle users from different regions
>
> **5. Next**
>
> Follow the [*Quickstart*](https://nango.dev/docs/getting-started/quickstart.md).

> [tab] 🚨 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.
>
> * For production applications, consider implementing [multi-datacenter support](https://www.zoho.com/accounts/protocol/oauth/multi-dc.html) to handle users from different regions.
>
> * For specific scopes, refer to the API documentation pages to find the exact scopes needed per API and per method.
