Zoho People

Access the Zoho People API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage employees, departments, designations, attendance, leave, and custom HR forms with full CRUD operations.

Quick Start

# List all employees python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-people/people/api/forms/employee/getRecords?sIndex=1&limit=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-people/{native-api-path} Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Zoho People API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to people.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

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai Go to maton.ai/settings Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Zoho People 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-people&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-people'}).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": "7d11ea2e-c580-43fe-bc56-d9d4765b9bc6", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2026-02-06T07:42:07.681370Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-02-06T07:46:12.648445Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "zoho-people", "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 People 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-people/people/api/forms') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '7d11ea2e-c580-43fe-bc56-d9d4765b9bc6') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

GET /zoho-people/people/api/forms Example: python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-people/people/api/forms') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF Response: { "response": { "result": [ { "componentId": 943596000000035679, "iscustom": false, "displayName": "Employee", "formLinkName": "employee", "PermissionDetails": { "Add": 3, "Edit": 3, "View": 3 }, "isVisible": true, "viewDetails": { "view_Id": 943596000000035705, "view_Name": "P_EmployeeView" } } ], "message": "Data fetched successfully", "status": 0 } }

JavaScript

const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-people/people/api/forms/employee/getRecords?sIndex=1&limit=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-people/people/api/forms/employee/getRecords', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={'sIndex': 1, 'limit': 10} ) data = response.json()

Notes

Record IDs are numeric strings (e.g., 943596000000294355) The Zoho_ID field in responses contains the record ID Maximum 200 records per GET request Insert/Update operations use form-urlencoded data with inputData JSON Date format varies by field and organization settings Some endpoints (attendance, leave) require additional OAuth scopes. If you receive an INVALID_OAUTHSCOPE error, contact Maton support at support@maton.ai with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case Response structure wraps data in response.result[] array 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

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-people. For example: Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-people/people/api/forms Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/people/api/forms
