one-drive（一驱车）

OneDrive

Access the OneDrive API with managed OAuth authentication via Microsoft Graph. Manage files, folders, drives, and sharing with full CRUD operations.

Quick Start

# List files in OneDrive root
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive/root/children')
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://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/{resource}

Maton proxies requests to graph.microsoft.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
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your OneDrive OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=one-drive&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': 'one-drive'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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://api.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": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-07T08:23:30.317909Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-07T08:24:04.925298Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "one-drive",
    "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://api.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 OneDrive connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to files, folders, and sharing within the connected OneDrive account.
• All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

Code Examples

JavaScript

// List files in root
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive/root/children',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();

// Upload a file
const uploadResponse = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive/root:/myfile.txt:/content',
  {
    method: 'PUT',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
    },
    body: 'Hello, OneDrive!'
  }
);

Python

import os
import requests

# List files in root
response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive/root/children',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
files = response.json()

# Upload a file
upload_response = requests.put(
    'https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive/root:/myfile.txt:/content',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'text/plain'
    },
    data='Hello, OneDrive!'
)

Notes

• OneDrive uses Microsoft Graph API (graph.microsoft.com)
• Item IDs are unique within a drive
• Use colon (:) syntax for path-based addressing: /root:/path/to/file
• Simple uploads are limited to 4MB; use resumable upload for larger files
• Download URLs from @microsoft.graph.downloadUrl are pre-authenticated and temporary
• Conflict behavior options: fail, replace, rename
• 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

Error Handling

Error Response Format

{
  "error": {
    "code": "itemNotFound",
    "message": "The resource could not be found."
  }
}

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

1. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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 one-drive. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/one-drive/v1.0/me/drive/root/children
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/v1.0/me/drive/root/children
