Description
name: zohoprojects description: | Zoho Projects API integration with managed OAuth. Manage projects, tasks, milestones, tasklists, and team collaboration. Use this skill when users want to manage project tasks, track time, organize milestones, or collaborate on projects. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: homepage: "https://maton.ai" requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY
Zoho Projects
Access the Zoho Projects API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage projects, tasks, milestones, tasklists, and team collaboration.
Quick Start
# List all portals
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portals/')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Base URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-projects/{native-api-path}
Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Zoho Projects API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to projectsapi.zoho.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
Authentication
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY
Environment Variable: Set your API key as MATON_API_KEY:
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
- Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Zoho Projects OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.
List Connections
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=zoho-projects&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
Create Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'zoho-projects'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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
Get Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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": "522c11a9-b879-4504-b267-355e3dbac99f",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2026-02-28T00:12:25.223434Z",
"last_updated_time": "2026-02-28T00:16:32.882675Z",
"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
"app": "zoho-projects",
"metadata": {},
"method": "OAUTH2"
}
}
Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.
Delete Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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 Zoho Projects connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portals/')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '522c11a9-b879-4504-b267-355e3dbac99f')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

console.log(data.tasks);
Python
import os
import requests
# Create a task
response = requests.post(

Notes
- All POST requests for create/update use
application/x-www-form-urlencodedcontent type, not JSON - Portal ID is required for most endpoints and can be obtained from
GET /restapi/portals/ - Date format is
MM-dd-yyyy(e.g.,03-01-2026) - Milestone creation requires all fields:
name,start_date,end_date,owner,flag - Empty list responses return HTTP 204 No Content
- Deleted items are moved to trash, not permanently deleted
Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 204 | No content (empty list) |
| 400 | Missing/invalid input parameter |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 404 | Resource not found |
| 429 | Rate limited (100 requests per 2 minutes) |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Zoho Projects API |
Common error codes:
6831: Input Parameter Missing6832: Input Parameter Does not Match the Pattern Specified
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
- Check that the
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://ctrl.maton.ai/connections')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
Ensure your URL path starts with zoho-projects. For example:
- Correct:
https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portals/ - Incorrect:
https://gateway.maton.ai/restapi/portals/
