Zoho CRM PYTHON SDK offers a way to create client Python applications that can be integrated with Zoho CRM.
Since Zoho CRM APIs are authenticated with OAuth2 standards, you should register your client app with Zoho. To register your app:
Visit this page https://api-console.zoho.com
Click on ADD CLIENT.
Choose the Client Type.
Enter Client Name, Client Domain or Homepage URL and Authorized Redirect URIs then click CREATE.
Your Client app will be created.
Select the created OAuth client.
Generate grant token by providing the necessary scopes, time duration (the duration for which the generated token is valid) and Scope Description.
Python SDK is installable through pip. pip is a tool for dependency management in Python. SDK expects the following from the client app.
Client app must have Python(version 3 and above)
Python SDK must be installed into client app through pip.
Install Python from python.org (if not installed).
Install Python SDK
pip install zohocrmsdk2_0==5.x.x
The Python SDK will be installed in your client application.
Token persistence refers to storing and utilizing the authentication tokens that are provided by Zoho. There are three ways provided by the SDK in which persistence can be utilized. They are DataBase Persistence, File Persistence and Custom Persistence.
Once the application is authorized, OAuth access and refresh tokens can be used for subsequent user data requests to Zoho CRM. Hence, they need to be persisted by the client app.
The persistence is achieved by writing an implementation of the inbuilt Abstract Base Class TokenStore, which has the following callback methods.
get_token(self, user, token) - invoked before firing a request to fetch the saved tokens. This method should return implementation of inbuilt Token Class object for the library to process it.
save_token(self, user, token) - invoked after fetching access and refresh tokens from Zoho.
delete_token(self, token) - invoked before saving the latest tokens.
get_tokens(self) - The method to get the all the stored tokens.
delete_tokens(self) - The method to delete all the stored tokens.
get_token_by_id(self, id, token) - The method to retrieve the user's token details based on unique ID.
Note:
user is an instance of UserSignature Class.
token is an instance of Token Class.
In case the user prefers to use default DataBase persistence, MySQL can be used.
The database name should be zohooauth.
There must be a table name oauthtoken with the following columns.
id int(11)
user_mail varchar(255)
client_id varchar(255)
client_secret varchar(255)
refresh_token varchar(255)
access_token varchar(255)
grant_token varchar(255)
expiry_time varchar(20)
redirect_url varchar(255)
Note:
CREATE TABLE oauthtoken (

All SDK methods return an instance of the APIResponse class.
After a successful API request, the get_object() method returns an instance of the ResponseWrapper (for GET) or the ActionWrapper (for POST, PUT, DELETE)
Whenever the API returns an error response, the get_object() returns an instance of APIException class.
ResponseWrapper (for GET requests) and ActionWrapper (for POST, PUT, DELETE requests) are the expected objects for Zoho CRM APIs’ responses
However, some specific operations have different expected objects, such as the following:
Operations involving records in Tags
Getting Record Count for a specific Tag operation
Operations involving BaseCurrency
Lead convert operation
Retrieving Deleted records operation
Record image download operation
MassUpdate record operations
The get_object() returns an instance of one of the following classes, based on the return type.
For application/json responses
For file download responses
The getObject() returns an instance of one of the following classes
These wrapper classes may contain one or a list of instances of the following classes, depending on the response.
For example, when you insert two records, and one of them was inserted successfully while the other one failed, the ActionWrapper will contain one instance each of the SuccessResponse and APIException classes.
All other exceptions such as SDK anomalies and other unexpected behaviours are thrown under the SDKException class.
Threads in a Python program help you achieve parallelism. By using multiple threads, you can make a Python program run faster and do multiple things simultaneously.
Multi-threading for multi-users is achieved using Initializer's static switch_user() method. switch_user() takes the value initialized previously for user, enviroment, token and sdk_config incase None is passed (or default value is passed). In case of request_proxy, if intended, the value has to be passed again else None(default value) will be taken.
# without proxy
Initializer.switch_user(user=user, environment=environment, token=token, sdk_config=sdk_config_instance)
# with proxy
Initializer.switch_user(user=user, environment=environment, token=token, sdk_config=sdk_config_instance, proxy=request_proxy)
