# 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))
EOFBase 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](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Zoho Bookings OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.
List Connections

print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOFSpecifying 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"]}')

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))
