https://gateway.maton.ai/google-mail/{native-api-path}
Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Gmail API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to gmail.googleapis.com and automatically injects your OAuth token.
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"
Manage your Google OAuth connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.
