The objects available within our connector are accessible from the "cdata.zohobooks" module. In order to use the module's objects directly, the module must first be imported as below:

import cdata.zohobooks as mod

From there, the connect() method can be called from the connector object to establish a connection using an appropriate connection string, such as the below:

mod.connect("InitiateOAuth=GETANDREFRESH;OrganizationId=YourOrganizationId;AccountsServer=YourAccountServerURL")
