Toggl Track

Access the Toggl Track API with managed OAuth authentication. Track time, manage projects, clients, tags, and workspaces.

Quick Start

# Get current user info
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/toggl-track/api/v9/me')
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/toggl-track/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Toggl Track API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.track.toggl.com and automatically injects your credentials.

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 Toggl Track 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=toggl-track&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': 'toggl-track'}).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": "0acc2145-4d3e-4eaf-bdfd-7b04e0e0d649",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-13T19:31:31.452264Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-13T19:36:10.489069Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "toggl-track",
    "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 Toggl Track 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/toggl-track/api/v9/me')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '0acc2145-4d3e-4eaf-bdfd-7b04e0e0d649')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

Pagination

Toggl Track uses page-based pagination for most list endpoints:

GET /toggl-track/api/v9/workspaces/{workspace_id}/projects?page=1&per_page=50

For time entries, use timestamp-based filtering:

GET /toggl-track/api/v9/me/time_entries?since=1707840000&start_date=2026-02-01&end_date=2026-02-28

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/toggl-track/api/v9/me/time_entries',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const timeEntries = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/toggl-track/api/v9/me/time_entries',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
time_entries = response.json()

Start a Timer

import os
import requests
from datetime import datetime, timezone

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/toggl-track/api/v9/workspaces/21180405/time_entries',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'description': 'Working on task',
        'start': datetime.now(timezone.utc).strftime('%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ'),
        'duration': -1,
        'workspace_id': 21180405,
        'created_with': 'maton-api'
    }
)

Notes

• Workspace IDs are integers (e.g., 21180405)
• Time entry IDs are large integers (e.g., 4290254971)
• Duration is in seconds; use -1 for running timers
• Timestamps use ISO 8601 format (e.g., 2026-02-13T19:58:43Z)
• The created_with field is required when creating time entries
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets 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

Error Handling

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. 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 toggl-track. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/toggl-track/api/v9/me
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/api/v9/me
