How to use Python to extract data from Zoho Creator software on the web
#1
Hello,

I am new to Python, although I have experience programming. I am looking for advice on how I can use a programming language to interact with Zoho Creator (a cloud software to create custom applications for businesses) to log onto Zoho on the web, and pull and extract certain data which can then be organized into an excel spreadsheet.

Is Python a good tool for this type of challenge? Is this what you call web-scraping? I would appreciate any advice you could give me on how I can go about this or any resources that I can learn from. If nothing else, if you could point me in the general direction of where I can start that would be appreciated.

Regards,
Dan

Yes,big application like this often have a API,in this case a REST API.
So here can use Requests to work with API.
For basic web-scraping look at Web-Scraping part-1, part2.

Also Pandas can be good for this,as it can read from web and write to excel.
Look at this Thread.

They offer a Rest-API: https://www.zoho.com/crm/developer/rest-api.html?src=ft

Here the description: https://www.zoho.com/crm/developer/docs/...rview.html
And for Python you can get a SDK: https://www.zoho.com/crm/developer/docs/...rview.html
