zoho-projects（zoho 项目）

Zoho Projects

Access the Zoho Projects API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage projects, tasks, milestones, tasklists, and team collaboration.

Quick Start

# List all portals
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portals/')
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/zoho-projects/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to projectsapi.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

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 Zoho Projects 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=zoho-projects&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-projects'}).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": "2026-02-28T00:12:25.223434Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-28T00:16:32.882675Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "zoho-projects",
    "metadata": {},
    "method": "OAUTH2"
  }
}

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 Zoho Projects 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/zoho-projects/restapi/portals/')
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 projects, tasks, milestones, tasklists, and team collaboration within the connected Zoho Projects 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 tasks in a project
const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portal/916020774/projects/2644874000000089119/tasks/',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.tasks);

Python

import os
import requests

# Create a task
response = requests.post(
    'https://api.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portal/916020774/projects/2644874000000089119/tasks/',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded'
    },
    data={'name': 'New Task', 'priority': 'High'}
)
task = response.json()
print(task['tasks'][0]['id'])

Notes

• All POST requests for create/update use application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type, not JSON
• Portal ID is required for most endpoints and can be obtained from GET /restapi/portals/
• Date format is MM-dd-yyyy (e.g., 03-01-2026)
• Milestone creation requires all fields: name, start_date, end_date, owner, flag
• Empty list responses return HTTP 204 No Content
• Deleted items are moved to trash, not permanently deleted

Error Handling

Common error codes:

• 6831: Input Parameter Missing
• 6832: Input Parameter Does not Match the Pattern Specified

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

Ensure your URL path starts with zoho-projects. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/zoho-projects/restapi/portals/
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/restapi/portals/
