Pipedrive

Access the Pipedrive API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage deals, persons, organizations, activities, pipelines, and more for sales CRM workflows.

Quick Start

# List deals
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/pipedrive/api/v1/deals')
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/pipedrive/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Pipedrive API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.pipedrive.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 Pipedrive 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=pipedrive&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': 'pipedrive'}).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": "pipedrive",
    "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 Pipedrive 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/pipedrive/api/v1/deals')
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.

Code Examples

JavaScript

const headers = {
  'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
};

// List open deals
const deals = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/pipedrive/api/v1/deals?status=open',
  { headers }
).then(r => r.json());

// Create a deal
await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/pipedrive/api/v1/deals',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: { ...headers, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      title: 'New Deal',
      value: 10000,
      currency: 'USD'
    })
  }
);

Python

import os
import requests

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}

# List open deals
deals = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/pipedrive/api/v1/deals',
    headers=headers,
    params={'status': 'open'}
).json()

# Create a deal
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/pipedrive/api/v1/deals',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'title': 'New Deal',
        'value': 10000,
        'currency': 'USD'
    }
)

Notes

• IDs are integers
• Email and phone fields accept arrays for multiple values
• visible_to values: 1 (owner only), 3 (entire company), 5 (owner's visibility group), 7 (entire company and visibility group)
• Deal status: open, won, lost, deleted
• Use start and limit for pagination
• Custom fields are supported via their API key (e.g., abc123_custom_field)
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) 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	Missing Pipedrive connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited (10 req/sec per account)
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Pipedrive API

Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key

When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:

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
