Todoist API integration with managed OAuth. Manage tasks, projects, sections, labels, and comments. Use this skill when users want to create, update, complete, or organize tasks and projects in Todoist. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

# Todoist

Access the Todoist REST API v2 with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, projects, sections, labels, and comments.

Quick Start

# List all tasks
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/rest/v2/tasks')
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/todoist/rest/v2/{resource}

The gateway proxies requests to `api.todoist.com/rest/v2` 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 Todoist 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=todoist&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': 'todoist'}).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": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "todoist",
    "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 Todoist 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/todoist/rest/v2/tasks')
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))
EOF

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

Priority Values

| Priority | Meaning |

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

| 1 | Normal (default) |

| 2 | Medium |

| 3 | High |

| 4 | Urgent |

Due Date Formats

Use ONE of these formats per request:

`due_string` - Natural language: "tomorrow", "next Monday at 3pm", "every week"

`due_date` - Date only: "2026-02-15"

`due_datetime` - Full datetime: "2026-02-15T14:00:00Z"

Code Examples

JavaScript

// Create a task
const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/rest/v2/tasks', {
  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'
  },
  body: JSON.stringify({
    content: 'Review pull request',
    priority: 3,
    due_string: 'today at 5pm'
  })
});
const task = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

# Create a task
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/rest/v2/tasks',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    json={
        'content': 'Review pull request',
        'priority': 3,
        'due_string': 'today at 5pm'
    }
)
task = response.json()

Notes

Task IDs and Project IDs are strings, not integers

Priority 4 is the highest (urgent), priority 1 is normal

Use only one due date format per request (due_string, due_date, or due_datetime)

Closing a recurring task schedules the next occurrence

The Inbox project cannot be deleted

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

| Status | Meaning |

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

| 204 | Success (no content) - for close, reopen, delete operations |

| 400 | Invalid request or missing Todoist connection |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 404 | Resource not found |

| 429 | Rate limited |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Todoist 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

1. Ensure your URL path starts with `todoist`. For example:

Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/todoist/rest/v2/tasks`

Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/rest/v2/tasks`
