Zoho Books
Access the Zoho Books API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage invoices, contacts, bills, expenses, sales orders, purchase orders, and other accounting data with full CRUD operations.
Quick Start
# List contacts python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-books/books/v3/contacts') 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-books/books/v3/{endpoint} The gateway proxies requests to www.zohoapis.com/books/v3 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
Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Zoho Books 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-books&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-books'}).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": "zoho-books", "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 Books 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-books/books/v3/contacts') 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.

JavaScript
const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-books/books/v3/contacts', { 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-books/books/v3/contacts', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} ) data = response.json()
Notes
All successful responses have code: 0 and a message field Dates should be in yyyy-mm-dd format Contact types are customer or vendor Some modules (items, chart of accounts, bank accounts, projects) may require additional OAuth scopes. If you receive a scope error, contact Maton support at support@maton.ai with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case Rate limits: 100 requests/minute per organization Daily limits vary by plan: Free (1,000), Standard (2,000), Professional (5,000), Paid (10,000) 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

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
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
Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
Ensure your URL path starts with zoho-books. For example: Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-books/books/v3/contacts Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/books/v3/contacts
