Python connectivity with Zoho Books

Full-featured and consistent SQL access to any supported data source through Python


Connecting to Zoho Books with Python

CData Python Connectors leverage the Database API (DB-API) interface to make it easy to work with Zoho Books from a wide range of standard Python data tools. Connecting to and working with your data in Python follows a basic pattern, regardless of data source:

  • Configure the connection properties to Zoho Books
  • Query Zoho Books to retrieve or update data
  • Connect your Zoho Books data with Python data tools.


Connecting to Zoho Books in Python

To connect to your data from Python, import the extension and create a connection:

Once you import the extension, you can work with all of your enterprise data using the python modules and toolkits that you already know and love, quickly building apps that help you drive business.

import cdata.zohobooks as mod
conn = mod.connect("[email protected]; Password=password;")

#Create cursor and iterate over results
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("SELECT * FROM Accounts")
	
rs = cur.fetchall()
	
for row in rs:
print(row)
		
engine = create_engine("zohobooks///Password=password&User=user")

df = pandas.read_sql("SELECT * FROM Accounts", engine)

df.plot()
plt.show()

Visualize Zoho Books Data with pandas

The data-centric interfaces of the Zoho Books Python Connector make it easy to integrate with popular tools like pandas and SQLAlchemy to visualize data in real-time.
