πŸ“– About This Skill


name: clockify description: | Clockify API integration with managed OAuth. Track time, manage projects, clients, tasks, and workspaces. Use this skill when users want to track time, create or manage projects, view time entries, or manage workspace members. 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: 🧠 homepage: "https://maton.ai" requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY

Clockify

Access the Clockify API with managed OAuth authentication. Track time, manage projects, clients, tasks, tags, and workspaces.

Quick Start

# Get current user
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/clockify/api/v1/user')
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/clockify/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to api.clockify.me and automatically injects your credentials.

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 Clockify 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=clockify&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': 'clockify'}).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": "2026-02-13T09:18:02.529448Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-13T09:18:09.334540Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "clockify",
    "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 Clockify 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/clockify/api/v1/user')
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 time entries, projects, workspaces, clients, and tags within the connected Clockify 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

    Pagination

    Clockify uses page-based pagination:

    GET /clockify/api/v1/workspaces/{workspaceId}/projects?page=1&page-size=50
    

    Query Parameters:

  • page - Page number (1-indexed, default: 1)
  • page-size - Items per page (default varies by endpoint)
  • Response includes a Last-Page header indicating if there are more pages.

    Code Examples

    JavaScript

    const response = await fetch(
      'https://api.maton.ai/clockify/api/v1/workspaces',
      {
        headers: {
          'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}
        }
      }
    );
    const workspaces = await response.json();
    

    Python

    import os
    import requests

    response = requests.get( 'https://api.maton.ai/clockify/api/v1/workspaces', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'} ) workspaces = response.json()

    Create Time Entry (Python)

    import os
    import requests
    from datetime import datetime, timedelta, timezone

    workspace_id = "your-workspace-id" start_time = (datetime.now(timezone.utc) - timedelta(hours=1)).isoformat().replace('+00:00', 'Z') end_time = datetime.now(timezone.utc).isoformat().replace('+00:00', 'Z')

    response = requests.post( f'https://api.maton.ai/clockify/api/v1/workspaces/{workspace_id}/time-entries', headers={ 'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, json={ 'start': start_time, 'end': end_time, 'description': 'Working on feature' } )

    Notes

  • All IDs are string identifiers
  • Timestamps must be in ISO 8601 format with UTC timezone (e.g., 2026-02-13T09:00:00Z)
  • Duration format uses ISO 8601 duration (e.g., PT1H for 1 hour, PT30M for 30 minutes)
  • Cannot delete active projects or tasks - must archive them first
  • Rate limit: 50 requests per second per workspace
  • 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 Clockify connection or invalid request | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 403 | Insufficient permissions | | 404 | Resource not found | | 429 | Rate limited (50 req/sec per workspace) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Clockify 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 clockify. For example:

  • Correct: https://api.maton.ai/clockify/api/v1/user
  • Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/api/v1/user
  • Resources

  • Clockify API Documentation
  • Clockify API Reference
  • Maton Community
  • Maton Support
  • πŸ’‘ Examples

    # Get current user
    python <<'EOF'
    import urllib.request, os, json
    req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/clockify/api/v1/user')
    req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
    print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
    EOF
