Create REST API Credentials

  1. Using the Zoho Developer Console, create a new Self Client application. The Zoho Developer Console is not part of the regular interface. Once logged in do a google search to find it and it "knows" about your login - credentials generated are for the logged in account.
  2. Using Postman or a similar application, create a request as follows:
    URL: https://accounts.zoho.com/oauth/v2/token
    Type: POST
    Parameters:
    grant_type = authorization code
    client_id =client id from Step 1 above
    client_secret = client secret from Step 1 above
    code = value from 'Generate Code' step
  3. Use the 'Generate Code' action to create a new grant token or code.
  4. Execute the prepared request.
    1. Be sure to enter code and run before grant token expires.
    2. Capture client_id, client_secret, and refresh_token values from the request. These values will be needed when configuring BillMax.
