# Monday.com Access the Monday.com API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage boards, items, columns, groups, users, and workspaces using GraphQL. ## Quick Start ```bash # Get current user python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'query': '{ me { id name email } }'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2', 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 ``` ## Base URL ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2 ``` All requests use POST to the GraphQL endpoint. The gateway proxies requests to `api.monday.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`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Monday.com OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=monday&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 ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'monday'}).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 ```bash 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:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "ca93f2c5-5126-4360-b293-4f05f7bb6c8c", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2026-02-05T20:10:47.585047Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-02-05T20:11:12.357011Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "monday", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash 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 Monday.com connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'query': '{ me { id name } }'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', 'ca93f2c5-5126-4360-b293-4f05f7bb6c8c') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection. ## API Reference Monday.com uses a GraphQL API. All operations are sent as POST requests with a JSON body containing the `query` field. ### Current User (me) ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "{ me { id name email } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "me": { "id": "72989582", "name": "Chris", "email": "chris.kim.2332@gmail.com" } } } ``` ### Users ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "{ users(limit: 20) { id name email } }"} ``` ### Workspaces ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "{ workspaces(limit: 10) { id name kind } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "workspaces": [ { "id": "10136488", "name": "Main workspace", "kind": "open" } ] } } ``` ### Boards #### List Boards ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "{ boards(limit: 10) { id name state board_kind workspace { id name } } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "boards": [ { "id": "8614733398", "name": "Welcome to your developer account", "state": "active", "board_kind": "public", "workspace": { "id": "10136488", "name": "Main workspace" } } ] } } ``` #### Get Board with Columns, Groups, and Items ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "{ boards(ids: [BOARD_ID]) { id name columns { id title type } groups { id title } items_page(limit: 20) { cursor items { id name state } } } }"} ``` #### Create Board ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { create_board(board_name: \"New Board\", board_kind: public) { id name } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "create_board": { "id": "18398921201", "name": "New Board" } } } ``` #### Update Board ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { update_board(board_id: BOARD_ID, board_attribute: description, new_value: \"Board description\") }"} ``` #### Delete Board ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { delete_board(board_id: BOARD_ID) { id } }"} ``` ### Items #### Get Items by ID ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "{ items(ids: [ITEM_ID]) { id name created_at updated_at state board { id name } group { id title } column_values { id text value } } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "items": [ { "id": "11200791874", "name": "Test item", "created_at": "2026-02-05T20:12:42Z", "updated_at": "2026-02-05T20:12:42Z", "state": "active", "board": { "id": "8614733398", "name": "Welcome to your developer account" }, "group": { "id": "topics", "title": "Group Title" } } ] } } ``` #### Create Item ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { create_item(board_id: BOARD_ID, group_id: \"GROUP_ID\", item_name: \"New item\") { id name } }"} ``` #### Create Item with Column Values ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { create_item(board_id: BOARD_ID, group_id: \"GROUP_ID\", item_name: \"New task\", column_values: \"{\\\"status\\\": {\\\"label\\\": \\\"Working on it\\\"}}\") { id name column_values { id text } } }"} ``` #### Update Item Name ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { change_simple_column_value(board_id: BOARD_ID, item_id: ITEM_ID, column_id: \"name\", value: \"Updated name\") { id name } }"} ``` #### Update Column Value ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { change_column_value(board_id: BOARD_ID, item_id: ITEM_ID, column_id: \"status\", value: \"{\\\"label\\\": \\\"Done\\\"}\") { id name } }"} ``` #### Delete Item ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { delete_item(item_id: ITEM_ID) { id } }"} ``` ### Columns #### Create Column ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { create_column(board_id: BOARD_ID, title: \"Status\", column_type: status) { id title type } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "create_column": { "id": "color_mm09e48w", "title": "Status", "type": "status" } } } ``` #### Column Types Common column types: `status`, `text`, `numbers`, `date`, `people`, `dropdown`, `checkbox`, `email`, `phone`, `link`, `timeline`, `tags`, `rating` ### Groups #### Create Group ```bash POST /monday/v2 Content-Type: application/json {"query": "mutation { create_group(board_id: BOARD_ID, group_name: \"New Group\") { id title } }"} ``` **Response:** ```json { "data": { "create_group": { "id": "group_mm0939df", "title": "New Group" } } } ``` ## Pagination Monday.com uses cursor-based pagination for items with `items_page` and `next_items_page`. ```bash # First page POST /monday/v2 {"query": "{ boards(ids: [BOARD_ID]) { items_page(limit: 50) { cursor items { id name } } } }"} # Next page using cursor POST /monday/v2 {"query": "{ next_items_page(cursor: \"CURSOR_VALUE\", limit: 50) { cursor items { id name } } }"} ``` Response includes `cursor` when more items exist (null when no more pages): ```json { "data": { "boards": [{ "items_page": { "cursor": "MSw5NzI4...", "items": [...] } }] } } ``` ## Code Examples ### JavaScript ```javascript const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, body: JSON.stringify({ query: `{ boards(limit: 10) { id name items_page(limit: 20) { items { id name } } } }` }) }); const data = await response.json(); ``` ### Python ```python import os import requests response = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2', headers={ 'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}', 'Content-Type': 'application/json' }, json={ 'query': '{ boards(limit: 10) { id name items_page(limit: 20) { items { id name } } } }' } ) data = response.json() ``` ## Notes - Monday.com uses GraphQL exclusively (no REST API) - Board IDs, item IDs, and user IDs are numeric strings - Column IDs are alphanumeric strings (e.g., `color_mm09e48w`) - Group IDs are alphanumeric strings (e.g., `group_mm0939df`, `topics`) - Column values must be passed as JSON strings when creating/updating items - The `account` query may require additional OAuth scopes. If you receive a scope error, contact Maton support at support@maton.ai with the specific operations/APIs you need and your use-case - Board kinds: `public`, `private`, `share` - Board states: `active`, `archived`, `deleted`, `all` - Each cursor is valid for 60 minutes after the initial request - Default limit is 25, maximum is 100 for most queries ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Missing Monday.com connection or GraphQL validation error | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 403 | Insufficient OAuth scope for the operation | | 429 | Rate limited | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Monday.com API | GraphQL errors are returned in the `errors` array: ```json { "data": {}, "errors": [ { "message": "Unauthorized field or type", "path": ["account"], "extensions": { "code": "UNAUTHORIZED_FIELD_OR_TYPE" } } ] } ``` ### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash 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 `monday`. For example: - Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/monday/v2` - Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/v2` ## Resources - [Monday.com API Basics](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs/basics) - [GraphQL Overview](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/docs/introduction-to-graphql) - [Boards Reference](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/reference/boards) - [Items Reference](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/reference/items) - [Columns Reference](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/reference/columns) - [API Changelog](https://developer.monday.com/api-reference/changelog) - [Maton Community](https://discord.com/invite/dBfFAcefs2) - [Maton Support](mailto:support@maton.ai)
