description: Zoho uses OAuth 2.0 with Bearer token authentication.
schemes:
- type: oauth2
  name: Zoho OAuth 2.0
  evidence: In the authorization code grant flow, you will need to generate an authorization code from the API console, then exchange it for an
    access token and refresh token.
  flows:
  - authorization_code
  - client_credentials
  how_to_obtain: Create a self client in the Zoho API console to get a Client ID and Client Secret, then use either the authorization code grant
    flow or the client credentials grant flow to obtain an access token.
- type: http-bearer
  name: Bearer token
  evidence: Zoho's OAuth implementation uses Bearer authentication scheme , hence while making API calls, the access token has to be passed in
    the Authorization header with the prefix Bearer.
  location: header
  header: Authorization
  how_to_obtain: Obtain the access token via the OAuth 2.0 flows described above and include it in the Authorization header as "Bearer <access-token>".
