API Gateway
Managed API routing for third-party services, provided by Maton. Use this only for a user-requested app, account, and task.
Quick Start
# List Slack channels (read-only)
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Routing
Use https://api.maton.ai/ with the app-prefixed routes documented in the examples below or in the matching reference file.
Read-only route examples:
https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10
https://api.maton.ai/google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages
The first path segment is the app identifier listed in Supported Services. For Gmail, use /google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages.
Authentication
Use MATON_API_KEY from the environment when constructing the request's Authorization header, as shown in the examples. Never print or copy the key.
IMPORTANT: Treat MATON_API_KEY as a secret. Do not log it, paste it into prompts, or expose it in shared files or command output. Authorize only the services and scopes needed for the current task, revoke unused connections, and rotate the key if exposed.
Environment Variable: You can set your API key as the MATON_API_KEY environment variable:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
Getting Your API Key
- Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- Go to maton.ai/settings
- Click the copy button on the right side of API Key section to copy it
Connection Management
Connection management uses a separate base URL: https://api.maton.ai
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=slack&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Query Parameters (optional):
app- Filter by service name (e.g.,slack,hubspot,salesforce)status- Filter by connection status (ACTIVE,PENDING,FAILED)
Response:
{
"connections": [
{
"connection_id": "{connection_id}",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
"last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=5e9...",
"app": "slack",
"method": "OAUTH2",
"metadata": {}
}
]
}
Create Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'slack'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Request Body:
app(required) - Service name (e.g.,slack,notion)method(optional) - Connection method (API_KEY,BASIC,OAUTH1,OAUTH2,MCP)
Get Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Response:
{
"connection": {
"connection_id": "{connection_id}",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
"last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=5e9...",
"app": "slack",
"metadata": {}
}
}
Open the returned URL in a browser to complete service authorization.
Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Specifying Connection
If you have multiple connections for the same app, you can specify which connection to use by adding the Maton-Connection header with the connection ID:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/slack/api/conversations.list?types=public_channel&limit=10')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.
Security & Permissions
- Access is scoped to the specific third-party service connected through each Maton connection and the scopes the user authorized.
- Use least privilege. Connect only the services needed for the current task. Prefer read-only scopes and revoke unused connections promptly.
- Default to read/list calls. Retrieve or list resources first to verify identifiers, account context, and current state before proposing any change.
- All operations that modify data require explicit user approval. Before executing any POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE call, confirm the target service, resource, payload, and intended effect with the user. This includes sending messages, creating records, modifying content, deleting resources, and triggering workflows.
- High-impact operations require extra caution. Actions such as bulk deletions, publishing content, sending emails/messages to external recipients, modifying billing or financial data, or changing permissions must be clearly described with specific resource identifiers and confirmed before execution.
- Always specify the connection. Use the
Maton-Connectionheader to ensure requests go to the intended account, especially when the user has multiple connections for the same service.

MATON_API_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections')

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
- Verify your URL path starts with the correct app name. The path must begin with
/google-mail/. For example:
- Correct:
https://api.maton.ai/google-mail/gmail/v1/users/me/messages - Incorrect:
https://api.maton.ai/gmail/v1/users/me/messages
- Ensure you have an active connection for the app. List your connections to verify:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=google-mail&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Troubleshooting: Server Error
A 500 error may indicate expired service authorization. Try creating a new connection via the Connection Management section above and completing service authorization. If the new connection is "ACTIVE", delete the old connection to ensure Maton uses the new one.

Notes
- When using curl with URLs containing brackets (
fields[],sort[],records[]), use the-gflag to disable glob parsing - When piping curl output to
jq, environment variables may not expand correctly in some shells, which can cause "Invalid API key" errors - Media upload URLs (LinkedIn, etc.): Some APIs return pre-signed upload URLs that point to a different host than the normal API host (e.g., LinkedIn returns
www.linkedin.comupload URLs while API calls useapi.linkedin.com). These upload URLs are pre-signed and do NOT require an Authorization header. Upload the binary directly to the returned URL. You MUST use Pythonurllibfor these uploads because the URLs contain encoded characters (e.g.,%253D) that get corrupted when passed through shell variables orcurl. Always parse the JSON response withjson.load()and use the URL directly in Python.
Tips
-
Use native API docs: Refer to each service's official API documentation for endpoint paths and parameters.
-
Headers are forwarded: Custom headers (except
HostandAuthorization) are forwarded to the target API. -
Query params work: URL query parameters are passed through to the target API.
-
HTTP methods: Use the method required by the referenced endpoint. Confirm the exact target and expected outcome before methods that change data.
-
QuickBooks special case: Use
:realmIdin the path and it will be replaced with the connected realm ID.
