C# SDK - An Overview
C# SDK offers a way to create client C# applications that can be integrated with Zoho CRM. This SDK makes the access and use of necessary CRM APIs with ease. In other words, it serves as a wrapper for the REST APIs, making it easier to use the services of Zoho CRM.
A point to note would be that the developer of the client application should create programming code elements along with configuration-related properties files, interface implementations, instances or objects. Authentication to access Zoho CRM APIs is through Oauth authentication mechanism. Invariably, HTTP requests and responses are taken care by SDK.
A sample of how an SDK acts a middle ware or interface between Zoho CRM and a client C# application.
C# SDK allows you to
- Exchange data between Zoho CRM and the client application where the CRM entities are modelled as classes.
- CRM API equivalents are declared and defined as simple functions in your C# application.
- Push data into Zoho CRM, by accessing appropriate APIs of the CRM Service.
Note
You must have .net framework 4.6.1 or above for the SDK to work.
