Overview - Corsair

Use Zoho Inventory through Corsair: one client, typed API calls, local DB sync. Zoho Inventory uses regional datacenters. Pass region (us default, plus eu, in, au, jp, ca, cn, sa). API hosts are www.zohoapis.*. OAuth hosts are accounts.zoho.* except Canada, which uses accounts.zohocloud.ca.

zohoinventory({ region: 'eu' })

Org-scoped calls send organization_id as a query parameter. Discover orgs with organizations.list, or use post-OAuth tenant linking (tenant_external_id). Optional apiDomain must be an HTTPS zohoapis.* origin. What you get:

58 typed API operations
6 synced entities (contacts, creditNotes, invoices, items, organizations, salesOrders) for fast .search() / .list()

Setup

Install

npm install corsair @corsair-dev/zohoinventory

yarn add corsair @corsair-dev/zohoinventory

pnpm install corsair @corsair-dev/zohoinventory

bun add corsair @corsair-dev/zohoinventory

Add the plugin

corsair.ts

import Database from 'better-sqlite3';
import { createCorsair } from 'corsair';
import { zohoinventory } from '@corsair-dev/zohoinventory';

export const corsair = createCorsair({
	plugins: [
		zohoinventory({
			authType: 'managed',
		}),
	],
	database: new Database('corsair.db'),
	kek: process.env.CORSAIR_KEK!,
	hub: {
		projectApiKey: process.env.CORSAIR_API_KEY!,
		signingSecret: process.env.CORSAIR_SIGNING_SECRET!,
	},
});

Multi-tenancy is the default — scope calls with corsair.withTenant(id). See Quick start for KEK + Hub keys, and Multi-tenancy for account isolation.

Choose authentication

Managed OAuth (Recommended)
OAuth 2.0

No setup required. Corsair hosts the OAuth app for Zoho Inventory — your tenants connect through Hub when they sign in.

zohoinventory({
	authType: 'managed',
})

More: Managed OAuth

Open hub.corsair.dev, navigate to your project, and enter the client ID and client secret from your Zoho Inventory OAuth app.

zohoinventory()

More: OAuth 2.0

Connect a tenant

Mint a connect link and send the tenant to it. Hub hosts the page and delivers the result to your app — see Connect / OAuth.

const { connectUrl } = await corsair.manage.connect.createLink({
	plugin: 'zohoinventory',
	tenantId: 'acme',
});
// redirect the user's browser to connectUrl

Example API calls

bills.list

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.zohoinventory.api.bills.list({});

bills.create

const tenant = corsair.withTenant('acme');
await tenant.zohoinventory.api.bills.create({});

See the full list on the API page.

Query synced data

Synced entities support tenant.zohoinventory.db.<entity>.search() and .list(): contacts, creditNotes, invoices, items, organizations, salesOrders. See Database for filters and operators.
