Zoho CRM API Integration

This PHP script demonstrates how to interact with the Zoho CRM API to perform the following operations:

1. Generate a Refresh Token
2. Generate an Access Token
3. Insert Leads
4. Retrieve Leads

Requirements

• PHP 7.4 or higher
• cURL extension enabled in PHP
• Zoho CRM account
• OAuth credentials (client ID, client secret, redirect URI, and authorization code)

Setup Instructions

1. Clone the Repository
   Copy the PHP script to your project directory.

2. Configure Zoho OAuth Credentials
   Update the placeholders in the $post arrays for the generate_refresh_token() and generate_access_token() functions:

   • client_id
   • client_secret
   • redirect_uri
   • code (authorization code for refresh token generation)
   • refresh_token (for access token generation)

3. Update API Endpoints
   Ensure the Zoho API URLs match your region:

   • Default: https://accounts.zoho.com
   • Other regions:
     • https://accounts.zoho.eu (Europe)
     • https://accounts.zoho.in (India)

4. Update Access Token
   Replace the $access_token variable in insert_leads() and get_records() with the valid access token generated by generate_access_token().

5. Run the Script
   Execute the PHP script from the command line or integrate it into your application.
