one-note（一张纸条）

OneNote

Access the OneNote API via Microsoft Graph with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage notebooks, sections, section groups, and pages for note-taking and organization.

Quick Start

# List notebooks
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks')
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-note/v1.0/me/onenote/{resource}

Maton proxies requests to Microsoft Graph (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 OneNote 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-note&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-note'}).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": "2026-03-12T10:24:32.321168Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-03-12T10:24:49.890969Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "one-note",
    "metadata": {},
    "method": "OAUTH2"
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization with Microsoft.

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 OneNote 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-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks')
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 notebooks, sections, section groups, and pages within the connected OneNote 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.

[
  {
    "target": "body",
    "action": "append",
    "content": "<p>New paragraph added!</p>"
  }
]

Actions:

• append - Add content at the end of target
• prepend - Add content at the beginning of target
• replace - Replace target content
• insert - Insert after target

Example:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps([
    {
        "target": "body",
        "action": "append",
        "content": "<p>Updated at 2026-03-12</p>"
    }
]).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/pages/{page_id}/content', data=data, method='PATCH')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json')
resp = urllib.request.urlopen(req)
print(f"Updated: {resp.status}")
EOF

OData Query Parameters

The OneNote API supports OData query parameters:

Example with $select:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks?$select=id,displayName')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Page HTML Format

OneNote pages use a specific HTML format:

Basic Structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    <meta name="created" content="2026-03-12T10:00:00Z" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Content here</p>
  </body>
</html>

Supported Elements

• Headings: <h1> through <h6>
• Paragraphs: <p>
• Lists: <ul>, <ol>, <li>
• Tables: <table>, <tr>, <td>
• Images: <img src="..." />
• Links: <a href="...">
• Formatting: <b>, <i>, <u>, <strike>

Adding Images

<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg" alt="Description" />

Or embed base64 images:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,..." alt="Embedded image" />

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.value);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
notebooks = response.json()
print(notebooks['value'])

Create Page with Python

import os
import requests

html_content = """<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head><title>New Page</title></head>
  <body><p>Hello from Python!</p></body>
</html>"""

response = requests.post(
    f'https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/sections/{section_id}/pages',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'text/html'
    },
    data=html_content
)
page = response.json()
print(f"Created page: {page['title']}")

Notes

• OneNote uses Microsoft Graph API v1.0
• Pages are created with HTML content (Content-Type: text/html)
• Page updates use PATCH with JSON array of operations
• Copy operations are asynchronous - check the returned status URL
• Use $expand=sections,sectionGroups to get notebook contents in one call
• Notebook and section names must be unique within their container
• 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

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-note. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks
