Cognito Forms API integration with managed OAuth. Access forms, entries, and documents. Use this skill when users want to create, read, update, or delete form entries, or retrieve form submissions. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Access the Cognito Forms API with managed OAuth authentication. List forms, manage entries (create, read, update, delete), and retrieve documents.

https://gateway.maton.ai/cognito-forms/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Cognito Forms API endpoint path (starting with api/). The gateway proxies requests to www.cognitoforms.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
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"
Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

List Forms GET /cognito-forms/api/forms Returns all forms in the organization.
Get Entry GET /cognito-forms/api/forms/{formId}/entries/{entryId} Returns a specific entry by ID or entry number. Create Entry POST /cognito-forms/api/forms/{formId}/entries Content-Type: application/json { "Name": { "First": "John", "Last": "Doe" }, "Email": "john.doe@example.com", "Phone": "555-1234" } Field names match your form's field names. Complex fields like Name and Address use nested objects. Update Entry PATCH /cognito-forms/api/forms/{formId}/entries/{entryId} Content-Type: application/json { "Name": { "First": "Jane", "Last": "Doe" }, "Email": "jane.doe@example.com" } Updates an existing entry. Uses PATCH method (not PUT). Fails if the entry includes a paid order. Delete Entry DELETE /cognito-forms/api/forms/{formId}/entries/{entryId} Deletes an entry. Requires Read/Write/Delete API scope.
Get Document GET /cognito-forms/api/forms/{formId}/entries/{entryId}/documents/{templateNumber} Generates and returns a document from an entry using the specified template number. Response: { "Id": "abc123", "Name": "Entry-Document.pdf", "ContentType": "application/pdf", "Size": 12345, "File": "https://temporary-download-url..." }
Get File GET /cognito-forms/api/files/{fileId} Retrieves a file uploaded to a form entry. Response: { "Id": "file-id", "Name": "upload.pdf", "ContentType": "application/pdf", "Size": 54321, "File": "https://temporary-download-url..." }
{ "Name": { "First": "John", "Last": "Doe" } }

List Entries: The Cognito Forms API does not support bulk listing of all entries. Use webhooks or OData for syncing entries. Get Form: Returns 404 - use List Forms to get form information instead. Form Availability: This endpoint may not be available depending on your Cognito Forms plan. Entry IDs can be either the entry number or entry ID (format: {formId}-{entryNumber}) Complex fields (Name, Address) use nested JSON objects File uploads return temporary download URLs Document generation creates PDFs from form templates API scopes control access: Read, Read/Write, or Read/Write/Delete IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set: echo $MATON_API_KEY 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
