Zoho Show API Docs

The Zoho Show API allows client applications to view, list, trash, embed & perform a host of useful operations on their presentations. It 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. See the XML-RPC specification for more information.

This API provides an easy way to integrate Zoho Services into your application. To perform an action using the Zoho Show API, you need to choose a calling convention (GET/POST), send a request specifying the method name and some arguments. In return, you will recieve a fomatted response from the called method.
