Zoho Bookings

Access the Zoho Bookings API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage appointments, services, staff, and workspaces with full CRUD operations.

Quick Start

# List workspaces
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-bookings/bookings/v1/json/workspaces')
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-bookings/bookings/v1/json/{endpoint}

The gateway proxies requests to www.zohoapis.com/bookings/v1/json 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 Zoho Bookings 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-bookings&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-bookings'}).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": "3c358231-7ca7-4a63-8a3c-3a9d21be53ca",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-18T00:17:23.498742Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-18T00:18:59.299114Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "zoho-bookings",
    "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 Zoho Bookings 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-bookings/bookings/v1/json/workspaces')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '3c358231-7ca7-4a63-8a3c-3a9d21be53ca')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Fetch workspaces
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-bookings/bookings/v1/json/workspaces',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

# Fetch services
response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-bookings/bookings/v1/json/services',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'workspace_id': '4753814000000048016'}
)
data = response.json()

Notes

• Date/time format: dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss (e.g., 20-Feb-2026 10:00:00)
• Booking IDs include # prefix (URL-encode as %23)
• customer_details must be a JSON string, not an object
• fetchappointment requires parameters wrapped in data field as JSON
• Other POST endpoints use regular form fields
• Service types: APPOINTMENT, RESOURCE, CLASS, COLLECTIVE
• Status values: UPCOMING, CANCEL, ONGOING, PENDING, COMPLETED, NO_SHOW
• Default pagination: 50 appointments per page (max 100)
• If you receive a scope error, contact Maton support at support@maton.ai with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case
• 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 zoho-bookings. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-bookings/bookings/v1/json/workspaces
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/bookings/v1/json/workspaces
