Use this skill when users want to schedule, reschedule, or cancel appointments, check availability, or manage clients and calendars. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY

Acuity Scheduling

Access the Acuity Scheduling API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage appointments, calendars, clients, availability, and more.

Quick Start

# List appointments
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments?max=10')
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/acuity-scheduling/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to acuityscheduling.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 Acuity Scheduling 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=acuity-scheduling&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': 'acuity-scheduling'}).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": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "acuity-scheduling",
    "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://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 Acuity Scheduling 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/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments')
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 appointments, calendars, clients, and availability within the connected Acuity Scheduling 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.

    Pagination

    Acuity Scheduling uses the max parameter to limit results. Use minDate and maxDate to paginate through date ranges:

    # First page
GET /acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments?max=100&minDate=2026-01-01&maxDate=2026-01-31
    Next page
    
GET /acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments?max=100&minDate=2026-02-01&maxDate=2026-02-28

    Code Examples

    JavaScript

    const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments?max=10',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}
    }
  }
);
const appointments = await response.json();

    Python

    import os
import requests
    response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'max': 10}
)
appointments = response.json()

    Notes

  • Datetime values must be parseable by PHP's strtotime() function
  • Timezones use IANA format (e.g., "America/New_York", "America/Los_Angeles")
  • Client update/delete requires clients to have existing appointments
  • Rescheduling requires the new datetime to be an available time slot
  • Use excludeForms=true for faster appointment list responses
  • 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. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

    • Error Handling

    | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Invalid request (e.g., time not available, client not found) | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 404 | Resource not found | | 429 | Rate limited | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Acuity API |

    Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

    1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

    echo $MATON_API_KEY

    2. 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

    1. Ensure your URL path starts with acuity-scheduling. For example:

  • Correct: https://api.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments
  • Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/api/v1/appointments

    • Resources

  • Acuity Scheduling API Quick Start
  • Appointments API
  • Availability API
  • Calendars API
  • Clients API
  • OAuth2 Documentation
  • Maton Community
  • Maton Support

    # List appointments
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments?max=10')

print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
