Zoho CRM

Access the Zoho CRM API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage leads, contacts, accounts, deals, and other CRM modules with full CRUD operations including search and bulk operations. Also supports organization details, user management, and module metadata retrieval.

Quick Start

# List leads
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads?fields=First_Name,Last_Name,Email')
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-crm/crm/v8/{endpoint}

The gateway proxies requests to www.zohoapis.com/crm/v8 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 CRM 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-crm&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-crm'}).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": "e55c5bac-241a-4cc8-9db5-50d2cad09136",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",

    "app": "zoho-crm",
    "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 CRM 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-crm/crm/v8/Leads?fields=First_Name,Last_Name,Email')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'e55c5bac-241a-4cc8-9db5-50d2cad09136')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

Pagination

Zoho CRM uses page-based pagination with optional page tokens for large datasets:

GET /zoho-crm/crm/v8/{module_api_name}?fields=First_Name,Last_Name&page=1&per_page=50

Response includes pagination info:

{
  "data": [...],
  "info": {
    "per_page": 50,
    "count": 50,
    "page": 1,
    "sort_by": "id",
    "sort_order": "desc",
    "more_records": true,
    "next_page_token": "token_value",
    "page_token_expiry": "2026-02-07T01:10:56-08:00"
  }
}

For up to 2,000 records: Use page parameter (increment each request)
For 2,000+ records: Use page_token from previous response
Page tokens expire after 24 hours

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads?fields=First_Name,Last_Name,Email',
  {
    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-crm/crm/v8/Leads',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'fields': 'First_Name,Last_Name,Email'}
)
data = response.json()

Notes

The fields parameter is required for list operations (max 50 fields)
Module API names are case-sensitive (e.g., Leads, not leads)
Maximum 100 records per create/update request
Maximum 100 records per delete request
Maximum 200 records returned per GET request
Maximum 2,000 records without page_token; up to 100,000 with page_token
Use field API names (not display names) in requests
If you receive a scope error, contact Maton support at support@maton.ai with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case
Empty datasets return HTTP 204 (No Content) with empty body
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

Status	Meaning
400	Missing Zoho CRM connection, missing required parameter, or invalid request
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key, or OAuth scope mismatch
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Zoho CRM API

Common Error Codes

Code	Description
`OAUTH_SCOPE_MISMATCH`	OAuth token lacks required permissions for the endpoint
`MANDATORY_NOT_FOUND`	Required field is missing
`INVALID_DATA`	Data type mismatch or format error
`DUPLICATE_DATA`	Record violates unique field constraint
`RECORD_NOT_FOUND`	The specified record ID does not exist

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-crm. For example:

Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/zoho-crm/crm/v8/Leads
Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/crm/v8/Leads
