Responses & Exceptions - Python SDK
APIResponse, BulkAPIResponse and FileAPIResponse are the wrapper objects for Zoho CRM APIs’ responses. All API calling methods would return one of these three objects.
- A method-seeking entity would return APIResponse object, whereas a method-seeking list of entities would return BulkAPIResponse object.
- Use the instance variable "data" to get the entity data alone from the response wrapper objects. APIResponse.data would return a single Zoho CRM entity object, while BulkAPIResponse.data would return a list of Zoho CRM entity objects.
- FileAPIResponse will be returned for file download APIs to download a photo or an attachment from a record or note such as record.download_photo(), record.download_attachment(attachment_id) etc.
Other than data, these response wrapper objects have the following properties.
response_headers - remaining API counts for the present day/window and time elapsed for the present window reset.
info - any other information, if provided by the API, in addition to the actual data.
bulk_entity_response (list of EntityResponse instances) - status of individual entities in a bulk API. For example: an insert records API may partially fail because of a few records. This dictionary gives the individual records’ creation status.
Start the App
The SDK requires the following line of code being invoked every time your app gets started.
- ZCRMRestClient.initialize()
This method should be called from the main class of your python application to start the application. It needs to be invoked without any exception.
Check Exceptions
All unexpected behaviors like faulty API responses, SDK anomalies are handled by the SDK and are thrown only as a single exception — ZCRMException. Hence, it's enough to catch this exception alone in the client app code.
