How to Use Authentication Token?

To generate the Auth Token, you need to send an authentication request to Zoho Accounts using the URL format below :

URL Format

API Mode :

https://accounts.zoho.com/apiauthtoken/nb/create?EMAIL_ID=YOUR_EMAILID&PASSWORD=YOUR_PASSWORD&SCOPE=projectsapi&SERVICENAME=ZohoProjects

Note:

  • The user must be a confirmed user, else while generating the Auth Token the user will receive an error - "ACCOUNT_REGISTRATION_NOT_CONFIRMED"

Browser Mode :

https://accounts.zoho.com/apiauthtoken/create?SCOPE=ZohoProjects/projectsapi

Parameters to be passed along with this URL are:

Parameter Description
EMAIL_ID Provide your Zoho Projects Email ID
SCOPE Specify your value as ZohoProjects/projectsapi

Note:

  • If you are a Google Apps User, you can log into your Zoho Projects account and then use the browser mode format to generate the Authentication Token.

  • The Auth Token of a user's account becomes invalid if the user is deactivated.
  • You need to be logged into your Zoho Projects account to use the Browser Mode
