talkzoho 0.9.8

Asynchronous wrapper for Zoho's numerous APIs

A python wrapper library for Zoho API calls which aims to unify the API for the different Zoho Products (CRM, Support, Projects etc).

The library is written using asynchronous interface i.e.

from talkzoho import crm


async def main():
    account = await crm.get_account(id='7030050000019540342', auth_token='xxx')

However, Talk Zoho also provides the helper function talkzoho.utils.wait for usage in synchronous code.

from talkzoho import crm
from talkzoho.utils import wait


account = wait(crm.get_account, id='7030050000019540342', auth_token='xxx')

Installation

pip install talkzoho

Example Usage

from talkzoho import crm


async def main():
    # Get Account
    account = await crm.get_account(id='7030050000019540342', auth_token='xxx')

    # Insert Lead
    bill = {
        'First Name': 'Bill',
        'Last Name': 'Billson'}
    lead_id = await crm.insert_lead(bill, auth_token='xxx')

    # Filter Leads
    bills = await crm.filter_leads(term='Bill', limit=1, auth_token='xxx')

    # Update Contact
    jill = {
        'CONTACTID': '7030050000019540536',
        'First Name': 'Jill',
        'Last Name': 'Jillson'}
    contact_id = await crm.update_contact(jill, auth_token='xxx')

    # Delete Contact
    success = await crm.delete_contact(id='7030050000019540536', auth_token='xxx')

Error Handling

Zoho use a number of ways to inform the client of errors. For example, CRM always returns a 200 status code with a error message and code in the body, where as books will return more standard looking HTTP errors. Talk Zoho tries to unify these and raises a tornado.web.HTTPError. Talk Zoho will also map the Zoho specific codes to their HTTP status code equivalent.

NOTE: Deleting a CRM record (with a correct-looking id) will never return an error.This is the behavior of Zoho’s CRM API.

from talkzoho import crm
from tornado.web import HTTPError


async def main():
    try:
        account = await crm.get_account(id='1234', auth_token='xxx')
    except HTTPError as http_error:
        # HTTPError(404, reason='No record available with the specified record ID.')
        print(http_error)
