Introduction
Zoho Sheet is an online spreadsheet application that lets you create, edit, and share spreadsheets for collaboration. With Zoho Sheet Data APIs, you get programmatic access to read or update your spreadsheets in Zoho Sheet. You could list your workbooks, create a worksheet, set cell content, get content of a range and do a whole lot of things.
We also offer Tabular Data APIs where you could use Zoho Sheet as a Data Store. Your worksheet is considered as a table with the column names on the first row. You could add rows and fetch/update/delete rows based on a criteria.
The Zoho Sheet Data API uses the OAuth 2.0 protocol to authorize and authenticate calls. OAuth is an industry open standard for authorization. It provides secure access to protected resources thereby reducing the hassle of asking for a username and password every time a user logs in.
API Usage Limit
As of now there is no daily or monthly usage limit for Zoho Sheet APIs, but we have a limitation on per minute API calls to avoid overloading our server. If that limit is exceeded, APIs on that document will not work for the next 5 minutes. This limit differs from API to API and cannot be increased.
