# Zoho Writer Integration via LowCodeAPI

**Last Updated**: February 10, 2026

## Overview
Document editor

**Categories:**
- {'id': 'zoho-suite', 'name': 'Zoho Suite'}

## Base Endpoint
https://api.lowcodeapi.com/zohowriter

**Important**: Always include the provider name in the URL path after `api.lowcodeapi.com/`

## Authentication
**Type:** OAUTH2.0

**Official Documentation:** https://www.zoho.com/writer/help/api/v1/getting-started.html

## URL Format (Important)

LowCodeAPI supports two URL formats. **Always try the New Format first**, then fall back to Old Format if needed.

### New Format (Priority)
- Path parameters stay in the URL path
- Do NOT include path parameters as query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/{id}?api_token=XXX`

### Old Format (Fallback)
- Path parameters become query parameters
- Example: `https://api.lowcodeapi.com/{provider}/resource/id?id={id}&api_token=XXX`

### Decision Flow for AI Agents
1. Always use **New Format** first - keep path parameters in the URL path
2. If you get a 404 or error, try **Old Format** with sanitized path
3. Log which format worked for future requests to this provider

## Usage Examples

### Example 1: Basic API Request (New Format)

Making a simple GET request to retrieve resources:

curl -X GET "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/zohowriter/endpoint?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN"
```

### Example 2: Request with Path Parameters (New Format)

Retrieving a specific resource using its ID:

```bash
# Get specific resource by ID - replace RESOURCE_ID with actual ID from previous response
curl -X GET "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/zohowriter/endpoint/{RESOURCE_ID}?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN"
# Note: RESOURCE_ID typically comes from a previous list request or from the provider dashboard
```

### Example 3: POST Request with Body (New Format)

Creating a new resource:

```bash
# Create a new resource
curl -X POST "https://api.lowcodeapi.com/zohowriter/endpoint?api_token=YOUR_API_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"field": "value", "another_field": "another_value"}'
