These credentials are necessary for Zoho API authentication

Step 1: Visit Zoho Developer Console

First, navigate to the Zoho Developer Console.

Step 2: Create an Application

Click the Add Client button, which will open the Client Registration page.

Under “Server-based Applications”, click on “CREATE NOW”.

Step 3: Fill out the Details

On the Client Registration page, fill out the following details:

  • Client Name: Optiply.

  • Homepage URL: https://optiply.nl.

  • Authorized redirect URIs: https://hotglue.xyz/callback.

  • Client Type: Select Server Based.

    Note: Information such as the Client Name, Homepage URL, and Authorized redirect URIs are required.

    Step 4: Register the Application

    Click on Create after filling out all the necessary details.

    Step 5: Get the Client ID and Client Secret

    After creating your application, you will be directed to a page containing the Client ID and Client Secret. Save these details carefully as you will not be able to retrieve the client secret later.

    Remember, the Client ID and Client Secret are sensitive data. Do not expose them in publicly accessible areas such as GitHub, client-side code, and so forth.
