Note : The XML-RPC APIs are deprecated (but functional) now. We requests partners and users to make use of REST based APIs for their Zoho integration. We will be completely discontinuing support for these XML-RPC methods in a few weeks.

Zoho Writer's another list of Data APIs is loosely based on the XML-RPC specification that allows software running on disparate operating systems and different environments to make procedure calls over the internet. To perform an action using the Zoho Writer API, you need to choose a calling convention (GET/POST), send a request specifying the method name and some arguments. In return, you will receive a formatted response from the called method.

API Methods

writer.getDocuments - Get the list of documents.
writer.viewDocument - View a particular document contents.
writer.newDocument - Create a new document.
writer.saveDocument - Edit & Save the document contents.

writer.getSharedDocuments - Get the list of shared documents.
writer.getTrashedDocuments - Get the list of trashed documents.

Note: You can also use the "GET Method" calling convention for getDocuments & viewDocument Methods. In case of viewDocument method, it is mandatory to pass "documentid" as a parameter during GET method call. For others we support only "POST Method" calling convention.
