## Documentation

### 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

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
Go to maton.ai/settings
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.

### Pagination

Zoho Recruit uses page-based pagination:

GET /zoho-recruit/recruit/v2/{module_api_name}?page=1&per_page=200

page: Page number (default: 1)
per_page: Records per page (default: 200, max: 200)

    "count": 50,
    "page": 1,
    "more_records": false
  }
}

### 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

StatusMeaning400Missing Zoho Recruit connection or invalid request401Invalid or missing Maton API key429Rate limited4xx/5xxPassthrough error from Zoho Recruit API

### Common Error Codes

CodeDescriptionINVALID_DATAInvalid field valueMANDATORY_NOT_FOUNDRequired field missingDUPLICATE_DATADuplicate record detectedINVALID_MODULEInvalid module API nameNO_PERMISSIONInsufficient permissions

### 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-recruit. For example:

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