Microsoft OneNote

OneNote API integration with managed OAuth via Microsoft Graph. Access notebooks, sections, section groups, and pages. Use this skill when users want to create or manage OneNote notebooks, organize notes, or work with page content. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway).

OneNote

Access the OneNote API via Microsoft Graph with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage notebooks, sections, section groups, and pages for note-taking and organization.

Quick Start

# List notebooks
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks')
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://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/{resource}

Maton proxies requests to Microsoft Graph (graph.microsoft.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

Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
Go to maton.ai/settings
Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your OneNote OAuth connections at https://api.maton.ai.

List Connections

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=one-note&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': 'one-note'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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://api.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": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-03-12T10:24:32.321168Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-03-12T10:24:49.890969Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "one-note",
    "metadata": {},
    "method": "OAUTH2"
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete OAuth authorization with Microsoft.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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 OneNote connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

Access is scoped to notebooks, sections, section groups, and pages within the connected OneNote account.
All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

OData Query Parameters

The OneNote API supports OData query parameters:

Parameter	Description	Example
`$select`	Select specific properties	`$select=id,displayName`
`$expand`	Include related resources	`$expand=sections,sectionGroups`
`$filter`	Filter results	`$filter=isDefault eq true`
`$orderby`	Sort results	`$orderby=displayName`
`$top`	Limit results	`$top=10`
`$skip`	Skip results	`$skip=20`

Example with $select:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks?$select=id,displayName')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

Page HTML Format

OneNote pages use a specific HTML format:

Basic Structure

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Page Title</title>
    <meta name="created" content="2026-03-12T10:00:00Z" />
  </head>
  <body>
    <p>Content here</p>
  </body>
</html>

Supported Elements

Headings: <h1> through <h6>
Paragraphs: <p>
Lists: <ul>, <ol>, <li>
Tables: <table>, <tr>, <td>
Images: <img src="..." />
Links: <a href="...">
Formatting: <b>, <i>, <u>, <strike>

Adding Images

<img src="https://example.com/image.jpg" alt="Description" />

Or embed base64 images:

<img src="data:image/png;base64,..." alt="Embedded image" />

Code Examples

JavaScript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.value);

Python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
notebooks = response.json()
print(notebooks['value'])

Create Page with Python

import os
import requests

html_content = """<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head><title>New Page</title></head>
  <body><p>Hello from Python!</p></body>
</html>"""

response = requests.post(
    f'https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/sections/{section_id}/pages',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'text/html'
    },
    data=html_content
)
page = response.json()
print(f"Created page: {page['title']}")

Notes

OneNote uses Microsoft Graph API v1.0
Pages are created with HTML content (Content-Type: text/html)
Page updates use PATCH with JSON array of operations
Copy operations are asynchronous - check the returned status URL
Use $expand=sections,sectionGroups to get notebook contents in one call
Notebook and section names must be unique within their container
IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to jq or other commands, environment variables like $MATON_API_KEY may not expand correctly in some shell environments

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Bad request or missing OneNote connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
403	Forbidden - insufficient permissions
404	Resource not found
409	Conflict - duplicate name
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Microsoft Graph

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

Ensure your URL path starts with one-note. For example:

Correct: https://api.maton.ai/one-note/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks
Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/v1.0/me/onenote/notebooks
