# Monday.com

Access the Monday.com API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage boards, items, columns, groups, users, and workspaces using GraphQL.

Quick Start

# Get current user
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': '{ me { id name email } }'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2', 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

Base URL

https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2

All requests use POST to the GraphQL endpoint. The gateway proxies requests to `api.monday.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 Monday.com 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=monday&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': 'monday'}).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": "ca93f2c5-5126-4360-b293-4f05f7bb6c8c",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-05T20:10:47.585047Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-05T20:11:12.357011Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "monday",
    "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 Monday.com connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'query': '{ me { id name } }'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2', data=data, method='POST')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'ca93f2c5-5126-4360-b293-4f05f7bb6c8c')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

Pagination

Response includes `cursor` when more items exist (null when no more pages):

{
  "data": {
    "boards": [{
      "items_page": {

Code Examples

  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'

  body: JSON.stringify({
    query: `{ boards(limit: 10) { id name items_page(limit: 20) { items { id name } } } }`
  })
});
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },

data = response.json()

Notes

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing Monday.com connection or GraphQL validation error |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 403 | Insufficient OAuth scope for the operation |

| 429 | Rate limited |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Monday.com API |

GraphQL errors are returned in the `errors` array:

{
  "data": {},
  "errors": [
    {
      "message": "Unauthorized field or type",
      "path": ["account"],
      "extensions": { "code": "UNAUTHORIZED_FIELD_OR_TYPE" }
    }
  ]
}

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 `monday`. For example:
