description	Asana API integration with managed OAuth. Access tasks, projects, workspaces, users, and manage webhooks. Use this skill when users want to manage work items, track projects, or integrate with Asana workflows. 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

Asana

Access the Asana API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks, projects, workspaces, users, and webhooks for work management.

Quick Start

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=PROJECT_GID')
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/asana/{native-api-path}

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Asana API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to app.asana.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 Asana 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=asana&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': 'asana'}).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": "asana",
    "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 Asana 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/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=PROJECT_GID')
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.

import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=1234567890&limit=50&offset=OFFSET_TOKEN')

print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Response includes next_page when more results exist:

{
  "data": [...],
  "next_page": {
    "offset": "eyJ0eXBlIjoib2Zmc2V0IiwidmFsdWUiOjUwfQ",
    "path": "/tasks?project=1234567890&limit=50&offset=eyJ0eXBlIjoib2Zmc2V0IiwidmFsdWUiOjUwfQ",
    "uri": "https://app.asana.com/api/1.0/tasks?project=1234567890&limit=50&offset=eyJ0eXBlIjoib2Zmc2V0IiwidmFsdWUiOjUwfQ"
  }
}

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/api/1.0/tasks?project=1234567890',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/asana/api/1.0/tasks',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'project': '1234567890'}
)
data = response.json()

Notes

• Resource IDs (GIDs) are strings
• Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format
• Use opt_fields to specify which fields to return
• Workspaces are the highest-level organizational unit
• Organizations are specialized workspaces representing companies
• 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	Bad request or missing Asana connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
403	Forbidden - insufficient permissions
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Asana 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
