For Agents
Programmatically create document, list documents. Covers 5 operations with oauth2 authentication.
Use for: I need to document, I want to documents, Search for document, Find all document
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.
Zoho Writer API for document creation and management. The API exposes 5 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Zoho Writer API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Zoho Writer API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fzoho.com%2Fzoho-writer-api" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fzoho.com%2Fzoho-writer-api" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
Capabilities

Delete document
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Zoho Writer API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the Zoho Writer API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 5 endpoints covering core functionality including create document, list documents, get document.
Call POST /documents to create document
Automated documents Management
Automate documents operations by combining multiple Zoho Writer API endpoints. Agents can list documents and then get document in a single workflow.
Call GET /documents to list documents, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Zoho Writer API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create document', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Zoho Writer by hand means running its OAuth 2.0 flow, refreshing tokens, and mapping document shapes against the zohoapis.com host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Zoho Writer from the API Directory, store the OAuth credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Zoho Writer puts the document id in the URL path (/documents/{document_id}), so a rule can pin your agent to one document: it can read and update that document and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like document deletion are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Zoho Writer OAuth credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a document' or 'list documents', and Jentic returns the matching Zoho Writer operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Zoho Writer API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Zoho Writer API use?
The Zoho Writer API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I create document with the Zoho Writer API?
Yes. Use the POST /documents endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Zoho Writer API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I create document through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create document'. Jentic returns the matching Zoho Writer API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Zoho Writer API have?
The Zoho Writer API exposes 5 endpoints covering documents operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Zoho Writer API?
Yes. Because Jentic One runs self-hosted, your own rules decide which Zoho Writer operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the document id sits in the URL path (/documents/{document_id}), you can pin the agent to a single document so it only reads and updates that one and nothing else. You also choose which operations it can call, so destructive actions like deleting a document (DELETE /documents/{document_id}) are excluded unless you explicitly add them.
