Connecting ZOHO CRM  using Java



Copy and paste the following code into Test.java (overwrite the existing code):

import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import java.net.*; import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder; import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.*; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.Part; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.FilePart; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.StringPart; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.MultipartRequestEntity; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.PartSource; import org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.multipart.ByteArrayPartSource; import org.w3c.dom.Document; import org.w3c.dom.Element; import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap; import org.w3c.dom.Node; import org.w3c.dom.NodeList; public class Test { public static void main(String a[]) { try { // To Fetch Authentication Token String ticket = getAuthenticationToken("ZohoCRM", "ZOHO USERNAME", "ZOHO PASSWORD"); System.out.println(ticket); //TO FETCH ACCOUNTS Records String targetURL = "https://crm.zoho.com/crm/private/xml/Accounts/getRecords"; PostMethod post = new PostMethod(targetURL); post.setParameter("authtoken", ticket); post.setParameter("scope", "crmapi"); post.setParameter("newFormat", "2"); post.setParameter("selectColumns", "All"); HttpClient httpclient = new HttpClient(); long t1 = System.currentTimeMillis(); int result = httpclient.executeMethod(post); System.out.println("HTTP Response status code: " + result); System.out.println("Time taken to execute :"+ (System.currentTimeMillis() - t1)); // Get response as a string ---------------- String postResp = post.getResponseBodyAsString(); System.out.println("postResp=======>" + postResp); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } } /** * @param string * @param username * @param password * @return */ private static String getAuthenticationToken(String name, String username, String password) { String strTicket = ""; String url = "https://accounts.zoho.com/apiauthtoken/nb/create?SCOPE=ZohoCRM/crmapi&EMAIL_ID=" + username + "&PASSWORD=" + password + ""; URL u; try { u = new URL(url); HttpURLConnection c = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection(); InputStream in = c.getInputStream(); InputStreamReader ir = new InputStreamReader(in); BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(ir); String strLine = null; while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null) { if (strLine != null && strLine.startsWith("AUTHTOKEN")) { strTicket = strLine.substring(10); } } in.close(); } catch (MalformedURLException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return strTicket; } }

Note the the above code fetched Accounts records only. To fetch data from other CRM modules change the name in the targetURL. The other CRM modules are :

1. Accounts
2. Contacts
3. Potentials
4. Leads
5. Campaigns
6. Tasks
7. Cases
8. Solutions
9. Products
10. PriceBooks
11. Quotes
12. Vendors
13. PurchaseOrders
14. SalesOrders
15. Invoices
16. Notes
17. Calls

 According to the  ZOHO CRM edition the access to CRM modules will be differ.
