ClickUp

Access the ClickUp API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, lists, folders, spaces, workspaces, users, and webhooks for work management.

Quick Start

# List workspaces (teams)
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team')
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/clickup/{native-api-path}

Replace

{native-api-path}

with the actual ClickUp API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to

api.clickup.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

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
Go to maton.ai/settings
Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your ClickUp 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=clickup&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': 'clickup'}).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": "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": "clickup",
    "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 ClickUp 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/clickup/api/v2/team')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

ClickUp Hierarchy

ClickUp organizes data in a hierarchy:

Workspace (team) → Space → Folder → List → Task

Note: In the API, Workspaces are referred to as "teams".

Pagination

ClickUp uses page-based pagination. Use the

page

parameter (0-indexed):

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task?page=0')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Responses are limited to 100 tasks per page. The response includes a

last_page

boolean field. Continue incrementing the page number until

last_page

true

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task',
  {
    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/clickup/api/v2/list/901234/task&#x27;,
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
data = response.json()

Notes

Task IDs are strings
Timestamps are Unix milliseconds
Priority values: 1=urgent, 2=high, 3=normal, 4=low, null=none
Workspaces are called "teams" in the API
Status values must match the exact status names configured in the list
Responses are limited to 100 items per page
IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
```
curl -g
```
when URLs contain brackets (
```
statuses[]
```
,
```
assignees[]
```
,
```
list_ids[]
```
) 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. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Bad request or missing ClickUp connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
403	Forbidden - insufficient permissions
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from ClickUp API

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
```
clickup
```
. For example:

Correct:

https://gateway.maton.ai/clickup/api/v2/team

Incorrect:
```
https://gateway.maton.ai/api/v2/team
```
