The Zoho Cliq REST API follows standard HTTP protocol conventions, utilizing appropriate HTTP verbs to perform specific actions on resources. Each HTTP method corresponds to a distinct operation type, ensuring predictable and RESTful API behavior.
Understanding these methods is fundamental to effectively integrating with the Zoho Cliq platform, as they define how your application can interact with chats, channels, messages, users, and other collaboration resources.

PUT |

PATCH |
