# Apollo

Access the Apollo.io API with managed OAuth authentication. Search people and organizations, enrich contacts, and manage your sales pipeline.

## Quick Start

```bash
# Search for people at a company
curl -s -X POST 'https://gateway.maton.ai/apollo/v1/mixed_people/api_search' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"q_organization_name": "Google", "per_page": 10}'
```

## Base URL

```
https://gateway.maton.ai/apollo/{native-api-path}
```

Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Apollo API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.apollo.io` and automatically injects your API key.

## Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

```
Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY
```

**Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`:

```bash
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"
```

### Getting Your API Key

1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai)
2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings)
3. Copy your API key

## Connection Management

Manage your Apollo connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`.

### List Connections

```bash
curl -s -X GET 'https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=apollo&status=ACTIVE' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```

### Create Connection

```bash
curl -s -X POST 'https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -d '{"app": "apollo"}'
```

### Get Connection

```bash
curl -s -X GET 'https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "apollo",
    "metadata": {}
  }
}
```

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

### Delete Connection

```bash
curl -s -X DELETE 'https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY'
```

### Specifying Connection

If you have multiple Apollo connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:

```bash
curl -s -X POST 'https://gateway.maton.ai/apollo/v1/mixed_people/api_search' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY' \
  -H 'Maton-Connection: 21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80' \
  -d '{"q_organization_name": "Google", "per_page": 10}'
```

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

    json={'q_organization_name': 'Google', 'per_page': 10}
)
```

## Notes

- Pagination uses `page` and `per_page` in POST body
- Most list endpoints use POST with `/search` suffix
- Email enrichment consumes credits
- `people/search` and `mixed_people/search` are deprecated - use `mixed_people/api_search`
