Quick Start

Get started with the Zoho Show API in just a few steps:

Pick any resource category from the sidebar
Browse the available endpoints and review their parameters and responses
Use the interactive status code picker to explore success and error payloads
Copy ready-to-use code samples in your preferred programming language

Making Your First Request

Here's a simple example to get you started with the Show API:

Before you begin: set up authentication first — see the Authentication page to obtain an OAuth 2.0 access token or an API key. The examples below use show.zoho.com; replace the host with your account's data center (US, IN, EU, AU, CA, SA, UAE, CN, JP, SG). Every resource page has a Data Center selector.

cURL


curl -X GET "https://show.zoho.com/api/v1/presentation" \
  -H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"

JavaScript


async function listPresentations() {
  const response = await fetch('https://show.zoho.com/api/v1/presentation', {
    method: 'GET',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': 'Zoho-oauthtoken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    }
  });

  const data = await response.json();
  console.log(data);
  return data;
}

listPresentations();

Node.js


const https = require('https');

const options = {
  hostname: 'show.zoho.com',
  path: '/api/v1/presentation',
  method: 'GET',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': 'Zoho-oauthtoken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN',
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  }
};

const req = https.request(options, (res) => {
  let data = '';

  res.on('data', (chunk) => {
    data += chunk;
  });

  res.on('end', () => {
    const result = JSON.parse(data);
    console.log(result);
  });
});

req.on('error', (error) => {
  // Handle error appropriately
});

req.end();

Python


import requests

url = "https://show.zoho.com/api/v1/presentation"
headers = {
    "Authorization": "Zoho-oauthtoken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN",
    "Content-Type": "application/json"
}

response = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
data = response.json()
print(data)

Java


import java.io.IOException;
import java.net.URI;
import java.net.http.HttpClient;
import java.net.http.HttpRequest;
import java.net.http.HttpResponse;

public class ShowApiExample {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException, InterruptedException {
        HttpClient client = HttpClient.newHttpClient();

        HttpRequest request = HttpRequest.newBuilder()
                .uri(URI.create("https://show.zoho.com/api/v1/presentation"))
                .header("Authorization", "Zoho-oauthtoken YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN")
                .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
                .GET()
                .build();

        HttpResponse<String> response = client.send(request,
                HttpResponse.BodyHandlers.ofString());

        System.out.println(response.body());
    }
}

Response Format

All API responses follow a consistent JSON format:

JSON Response

  "data": {
    "total_count": "950",
    "resources": [
      {
        "document_name": "My Presentation",
