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://gateway.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://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Acuity API endpoint path. The gateway 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://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.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://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": "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://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 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://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/api/v1/appointments')
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.

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://gateway.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://gateway.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://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

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

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