# 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
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.
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"
Manage your Zoho CRM OAuth connections at
https://ctrl.maton.ai.
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

Response:

url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization.

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.
