Zoho Mail Rest API

Overview

Zoho Mail's REST API(REpresentational State Transfer - Application Programming Interface) allows the integration of Zoho Mail modules with third-party applications and services. You can extract and use Zoho Mail data using API, to develop new applications based on them or integrate with existing applications.

Zoho Mail provides Restful APIs and hence is independent of programming languages. You can develop applications in any programming language (Java, .Net, C, C++, PHP, etc.). The response Zoho Mail data is also language-independent and will be in JSON format. This allows partners or resellers to build custom applications with Zoho Mail Architecture as a base and interact programmatically yet securely to manage the users, and their accounts.
