Calendly

Access the Calendly API with managed OAuth authentication. Retrieve event types, scheduled events, invitees, availability data, and manage webhook subscriptions for scheduling automation.

Quick Start

# Get current user
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/calendly/users/me')
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/calendly/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to api.calendly.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 Calendly 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=calendly&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': 'calendly'}).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": "calendly",
    "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 Calendly 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/calendly/users/me')
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 event types, scheduled events, invitees, availability, and manage webhooks within the connected Calendly 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.
  • API Reference

    #### Get a Webhook Subscription

    GET /calendly/webhook_subscriptions/{uuid}
    

    #### Delete a Webhook Subscription

    DELETE /calendly/webhook_subscriptions/{uuid}
    

    Example:

    python <<'EOF'
    import urllib.request, os, json
    req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/calendly/webhook_subscriptions/GGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG', 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
    

    Returns 204 No Content on success.

    Pagination

    Use page_token for pagination. Response includes pagination.next_page_token when more results exist:

    python <<'EOF'
    import urllib.request, os, json
    req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/calendly/scheduled_events?user=USER_URI&page_token=NEXT_PAGE_TOKEN')
    req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
    print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
    EOF
    

    Code Examples

    JavaScript

    const response = await fetch(
      'https://api.maton.ai/calendly/scheduled_events?user=https://api.calendly.com/users/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA&status=active',
      {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}
        }
      }
    );
    const data = await response.json();
    

    Python

    import os
    import requests

    response = requests.get( 'https://api.maton.ai/calendly/scheduled_events', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={ 'user': 'https://api.calendly.com/users/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA', 'status': 'active' } ) data = response.json()

    Notes

  • Resource identifiers are URIs (e.g., https://api.calendly.com/users/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA)
  • Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format
  • The Scheduling API (Create Event Invitee) requires a paid Calendly plan
  • Webhooks are not available on Calendly's free plan
  • Availability endpoints have a 7-day maximum range per request and start_time must be in the future
  • The API does not support creating or managing event types programmatically
  • 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 Calendly connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 403 | Forbidden - insufficient permissions or plan restrictions | | 404 | Resource not found | | 424 | External calendar error (calendar integration issue on Calendly side) | | 429 | Rate limited | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Calendly 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 calendly. For example:

  • Correct: https://api.maton.ai/calendly/users/me
  • Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/users/me
  • Resources

  • Calendly Developer Portal
  • API Reference
  • API Use Cases
  • Maton Community
  • Maton Support
  • πŸ’‘ Examples

    # Get current user
    python <<'EOF'
    import urllib.request, os, json
    req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/calendly/users/me')
    req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
    print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
    EOF
