The Data Push API in Zoho Analytics is an HTTP REST API that allows external applications and scripts to programmatically insert, update, or delete rows in a Zoho Analytics table, enabling custom data pipelines without manual imports.
Use Data Push API when your reporting requirements go beyond what built-in defaults provide. This feature is most valuable for organisations that have moved past basic data viewing and need precise control over how their data is organised, queried, or presented. Teams working with multiple data sources, varied user groups, or complex business logic will find this capability central to their Zoho Analytics setup.
Before configuring Data Push API, ensure that the underlying data tables are clean and consistently structured. Irregular naming conventions, mixed data types in a single column, or missing values can produce unexpected results. For shared environments, coordinate with your Workspace Administrator before making changes that affect reports used by other team members. Testing on a duplicate report before applying changes to production dashboards is a sound practice.
The Data Push API is a REST API provided by Zoho Analytics that lets external systems send data directly to a workspace table using HTTP requests. It supports inserting new rows, updating existing rows, and deleting rows programmatically, making it suitable for custom ETL pipelines and application integrations.
The Data Push API uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication. You create an API client in the Zoho Developer Console, generate access and refresh tokens, and include the access token in API request headers. Tokens expire and must be refreshed periodically using the refresh token.
