OAuth
This toolkit uses OAuth 2.0 via the Zoho provider. See the Zoho auth provider docs for setup instructions.
Secrets
ZOHO_SERVER_URL — The base URL for the Zoho Books API, which varies by data center region. Zoho hosts data in multiple regions (US, EU, IN, AU, JP, CA, SA), each with a different API endpoint (e.g., https://www.zohoapis.com for the US, https://www.zohoapis.eu for the EU). You must supply the URL that matches the region where your Zoho Books organization is hosted. You can determine the correct URL from the Zoho API domain documentation. No special permissions beyond your OAuth token are needed — this value is a URL override, not a credential.
For guidance on configuring secrets in Arcade, see the Arcade secrets documentation. You can also manage secrets at https://api.arcade.dev/dashboard/auth/secrets.
