# Zoho Recruit

Access the Zoho Recruit API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage candidates, job openings, interviews, applications, and recruitment workflows with full CRUD operations.

Quick Start

# List all candidates
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-recruit/recruit/v2/Candidates?per_page=10')
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/zoho-recruit/{native-api-path}

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Zoho Recruit API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `recruit.zoho.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 Zoho Recruit 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=zoho-recruit&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': 'zoho-recruit'}).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": "0c9fa9b1-80b6-4caa-afc2-8629fe4d9661",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-06T07:48:59.474215Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-06T07:57:52.950167Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "zoho-recruit",
    "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 Zoho Recruit 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-recruit/recruit/v2/Candidates')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '0c9fa9b1-80b6-4caa-afc2-8629fe4d9661')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

    {
      "data": [...],
      "info": {
        "per_page": 200,
        "count": 50,

    Code Examples

    JavaScript

    const response = await fetch(
      'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-recruit/recruit/v2/Candidates?per_page=10',
      {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
        }
      }
    );
    const data = await response.json();

    Python

    import os
    import requests
    
    response = requests.get(
        'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-recruit/recruit/v2/Candidates',
        headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
        params={'per_page': 10}
    )
    data = response.json()

    Notes

  • Record IDs are numeric strings (e.g., `846336000000552208`)
  • Maximum 200 records per GET request
  • Maximum 100 records per POST/PUT request
  • Maximum 100 records per DELETE request
  • Module API names are case-sensitive (e.g., `Job_Openings`, not `job_openings`)
  • `Last_Name` is mandatory for Candidates
  • Date format: `yyyy-MM-dd`
  • DateTime format: `yyyy-MM-ddTHH:mm:ss±HH:mm` (ISO 8601)
  • Lookup fields use JSON objects with `id` and optionally `name`
  • IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain special characters
  • 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

    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 `zoho-recruit`. For example:

  • Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-recruit/recruit/v2/Candidates`
  • Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/recruit/v2/Candidates`
