Google Calendar

Access the Google Calendar API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage events, list calendars, and check availability.

Quick Start

# List upcoming events
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?maxResults=10&orderBy=startTime&singleEvents=true')
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/google-calendar/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Google Calendar API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to www.googleapis.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

  1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
  2. Go to maton.ai/settings
  3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Google 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=google-calendar&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': 'google-calendar'}).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": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "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=...",
    "app": "google-calendar",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}

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 Google Calendar 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/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

// List events
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events?maxResults=10&singleEvents=true',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);

// Create event
await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      summary: 'Meeting',
      start: { dateTime: '2024-01-15T10:00:00Z' },
      end: { dateTime: '2024-01-15T11:00:00Z' }
    })
  }
);

Python

import os
import requests

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}

# List events
events = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events',
    headers=headers,
    params={'maxResults': 10, 'singleEvents': 'true'}
).json()

# Create event
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'summary': 'Meeting',
        'start': {'dateTime': '2024-01-15T10:00:00Z'},
        'end': {'dateTime': '2024-01-15T11:00:00Z'}
    }
)

Notes

  • Use primary as calendarId for the user's main calendar
  • Times must be in RFC3339 format (e.g., 2024-01-15T10:00:00Z)
  • For recurring events, use singleEvents=true to expand instances
  • orderBy=startTime requires singleEvents=true
  • IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) to disable glob parsing
  • IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

StatusMeaning
400Missing Google Calendar connection
401Invalid or missing Maton API key
429Rate limited (10 req/sec per account)
4xx/5xxPassthrough error from Google Calendar API

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

  1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
  1. 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

  1. Ensure your URL path starts with google-calendar. For example:
  • Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/google-calendar/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events
  • Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/calendar/v3/calendars/primary/events
