Asana API integration with managed OAuth. Access tasks, projects, workspaces, users, and manage webhooks. Use this skill when users want to manage work items, track projects, or integrate with Asana workflows. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Asana
Access the Asana API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, projects, workspaces, users, and webhooks for work management.
Quick Start
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=PROJECT_GID')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFBase URL
https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/{native-api-path}Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Asana API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `app.asana.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](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Asana 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=asana&status=ACTIVE')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFCreate Connection
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'asana'}).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))
EOFGet 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",

"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
"app": "asana",
"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))
EOFSpecifying Connection
If you have multiple Asana 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/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=PROJECT_GID')
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))
EOFIf omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Pagination
Asana uses cursor-based pagination. Use `offset` for pagination:
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=1234567890&limit=50&offset=OFFSET_TOKEN')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFResponse includes `next_page` when more results exist:
{
"data": [...],
"next_page": {
"offset": "eyJ0eXBlIjoib2Zmc2V0IiwidmFsdWUiOjUwfQ",
"path": "/tasks?project=1234567890&limit=50&offset=eyJ0eXBlIjoib2Zmc2V0IiwidmFsdWUiOjUwfQ",
"uri": "https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks?project=1234567890&limit=50&offset=eyJ0eXBlIjoib2Zmc2V0IiwidmFsdWUiOjUwfQ"

Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Bad request or missing Asana connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Asana API |
Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY2. 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))
EOFTroubleshooting: Invalid App Name
1. Ensure your URL path starts with `asana`. For example:
