Reducto document processing API integration with managed API key authentication. Parse, extract, split, and edit documents.

Use this skill when users want to process documents, extract structured data, or modify PDFs and DOCX files.

For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Reducto

Access the Reducto document processing API with managed API key authentication. Parse documents, extract structured data, split documents into sections, and edit PDFs/DOCX files.

Quick Start

# Parse a document
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'document_url': 'https://example.com/document.pdf'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/reducto/parse', 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/reducto/{native-api-path}

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Reducto API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `platform.reducto.ai` and automatically injects your API key.

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 Reducto API key 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=reducto&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': 'reducto'}).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": "f7579208-276c-455f-9962-4635fca739b9",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-28T00:12:24.797884Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-28T00:16:13.509841Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "reducto",
    "metadata": {},
    "method": "API_KEY"
  }
}

Open the returned `url` in a browser to enter your Reducto API key.

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 Reducto 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/reducto/parse')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'f7579208-276c-455f-9962-4635fca739b9')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

Notes

Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |

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

| 400 | Invalid request (missing required fields, invalid format) |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 404 | Resource not found |

| 422 | Validation error (check response body for details) |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Reducto API |

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

Ensure your URL path starts with `reducto`. For example:
