Coda

Access the Coda API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage docs, pages, tables, rows, formulas, and controls with full CRUD operations.

Quick Start

# List your docs
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/coda/apis/v1/docs')
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/coda/apis/v1/{resource}

Replace {resource} with the actual Coda API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to coda.io/apis/v1 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 Coda 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=coda&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': 'coda'}).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": "f46d34b1-3735-478a-a0d7-54115a16cd46",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-12T01:38:10.500238Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-12T01:38:33.545353Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "coda",
    "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 Coda 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/coda/apis/v1/docs')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'f46d34b1-3735-478a-a0d7-54115a16cd46')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

}

  "completed": true
}

Mutations are generally processed within a few seconds.

Code Examples

JavaScript - List Docs

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/coda/apis/v1/docs?limit=10',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.items);

Python - List Docs

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/coda/apis/v1/docs',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'limit': 10}
)
data = response.json()
for doc in data['items']:
    print(f"{doc['name']}: {doc['id']}")

Python - Create Doc and Page

import os
import requests

headers = {'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
base_url = 'https://gateway.maton.ai/coda/apis/v1'

# Create doc
doc_response = requests.post(
    f'{base_url}/docs',
    headers=headers,
    json={'title': 'My New Doc'}
)
doc = doc_response.json()
print(f"Created doc: {doc['id']}")

# Create page
page_response = requests.post(
    f'{base_url}/docs/{doc["id"]}/pages',
    headers=headers,
    json={'name': 'First Page', 'subtitle': 'Created via API'}
)
page = page_response.json()
print(f"Created page: {page['id']}")

Python - Insert Rows

import os
import requests

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

response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/coda/apis/v1/docs/{docId}/tables/{tableId}/rows',
    headers=headers,
    json={
        'rows': [
            {
                'cells': [
                    {'column': 'Name', 'value': 'John Doe'},
                    {'column': 'Email', 'value': '[e-mail]'}
                ]
            }
        ]
    }
)
result = response.json()
print(f"Request ID: {result['requestId']}")

Notes

• Doc IDs look like s0ekj2vV-v
• Page IDs start with canvas-
• Table and column names can be used instead of IDs
• Row operations require a base table (not views)
• Create/Update/Delete operations are asynchronous (return requestId)
• Newly created docs may take a moment to be accessible via API (409 error)
• Page-level analytics require Enterprise plan
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
• IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq, environment variables may not expand correctly. Use Python examples instead.

Rate Limits

Operation	Limit
Reading data	100 requests per 6 seconds
Writing data	10 requests per 6 seconds
Writing doc content	5 requests per 10 seconds
Listing docs	4 requests per 6 seconds
Reading analytics	100 requests per 6 seconds

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Missing Coda connection or invalid request
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
404	Resource not found
409	Doc not yet accessible (just created)
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Coda 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 coda. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/coda/apis/v1/docs
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/apis/v1/docs
