# Zoho Mail Skill
Read, search, and manage Zoho Mail directly from Clawdbot.
## Setup
1. Go to [Zoho API Console](https://api-console.zoho.com/) and create a **Self Client**
2. Note the **Client ID** and **Client Secret**
3. Generate a grant code with scopes: `ZohoMail.messages.READ,ZohoMail.folders.READ,ZohoMail.accounts.READ`
4. Exchange the grant code for a refresh token:
```bash
curl -s -X POST "https://accounts.zoho.com/oauth/v2/token" \
-d "code=YOUR_GRANT_CODE" \
-d "client_id=YOUR_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET" \
-d "grant_type=authorization_code" | jq
```
5. Set environment variables:
```bash
export ZOHO_CLIENT_ID="your-client-id"
export ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET="your-client-secret"
export ZOHO_REFRESH_TOKEN="your-refresh-token"
```
## Authentication
Zoho uses OAuth 2.0. Access tokens expire after 1 hour, so always refresh before making API calls. The refresh token does not expire unless revoked.
### Get an access token
```bash
ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN=$(curl -s -X POST "https://accounts.zoho.com/oauth/v2/token" \
-d "refresh_token=$ZOHO_REFRESH_TOKEN" \
-d "client_id=$ZOHO_CLIENT_ID" \
-d "client_secret=$ZOHO_CLIENT_SECRET" \
-d "grant_type=refresh_token" | jq -r '.access_token')
```
**Important:** Run this command before every API session or when you get a 401 error. All commands below assume `$ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN` is set.
## Usage
All commands use curl with the `Zoho-oauthtoken` authorization header. Note: Zoho uses `Zoho-oauthtoken` prefix, **not** `Bearer`.
### Get account ID
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[0] | {accountId, mailboxAddress, firstName, lastName}'
```
Store the account ID for subsequent calls:
```bash
ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID=$(curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data[0].accountId')
```
### List folders
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/folders" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {folderName, folderId, unreadCount, messageCount}'
```
### Get Inbox folder ID
```bash
INBOX_ID=$(curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/folders" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data[] | select(.folderName=="Inbox") | .folderId')
```
### List inbox messages
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/messages/view?folderId=$INBOX_ID&limit=10&start=0" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {subject, sender, fromAddress, receivedTime, messageId, status2}'
```
### List messages in a specific folder
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/messages/view?folderId={folderId}&limit=10&start=0" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {subject, sender, receivedTime, messageId}'
```
### Read a specific email
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/messages/{messageId}" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data | {subject, sender, fromAddress, toAddress, ccAddress, receivedTime, content}'
```
### Get email body content only
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/messages/{messageId}/content" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq -r '.data.content'
```
### Search emails
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/messages/search?searchKey={query}&limit=10" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {subject, sender, receivedTime, messageId, summary}'
```
Search syntax supports:
- Simple text: `searchKey=invoice`
- From filter: `searchKey=from:john@example.com`
- Subject filter: `searchKey=subject:quarterly report`
- Date range: `searchKey=after:2024-01-01 before:2024-06-30`
- Combined: `searchKey=from:boss@company.com subject:meeting`
### List email threads
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/threads/view?folderId=$INBOX_ID&limit=10&start=0" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {subject, threadId, messageCount}'
```
### Get thread details (all messages in a thread)
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/threads/{threadId}" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq
```
### List labels/tags
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/tags" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {tagName, tagId, color}'
```
### List attachments on an email
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID/folders/{folderId}/messages/{messageId}/attachments" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data[] | {attachmentName, attachmentId, fileSize}'
```
### Get account info
```bash
curl -s "https://mail.zoho.com/api/accounts/$ZOHO_ACCOUNT_ID" \
-H "Authorization: Zoho-oauthtoken $ZOHO_ACCESS_TOKEN" | jq '.data | {firstName, lastName, mailboxAddress, usedStorage, planStorage}'
```
## Regional Endpoints
If your Zoho account is not in the US region, replace `mail.zoho.com` and `accounts.zoho.com` with:
| Region | Mail API | Auth |
|-----------|---------------------------|-------------------------|
| US | mail.zoho.com | accounts.zoho.com |
| EU | mail.zoho.eu | accounts.zoho.eu |
| India | mail.zoho.in | accounts.zoho.in |
| Australia | mail.zoho.com.au | accounts.zoho.com.au |
| Japan | mail.zoho.jp | accounts.zoho.jp |
| Canada | mail.zohocloud.ca | accounts.zohocloud.ca |
## Notes
- Access tokens expire after **1 hour** — refresh before each session
- The refresh token does **not** expire unless revoked
- Rate limit: **30 API requests per minute** per account
- `receivedTime` is in milliseconds since epoch — convert with: `date -d @$((receivedTime/1000))`
- `status2` field: `"0"` = unread, `"1"` = read
- Auth header uses `Zoho-oauthtoken` prefix, **not** `Bearer`
- Keep your Client Secret and Refresh Token secure!
