Netlify

Netlify API integration with managed OAuth. View sites, deploys, builds, DNS zones, and environment variables. Use this skill when users want to view Netlify site information, check deploy status, or review build logs. Write operations (creating sites, triggering builds, modifying DNS or env vars) require explicit user approval with specific resource identifiers. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key.

Access the Netlify API with managed OAuth authentication. View sites, deploys, builds, DNS zones, environment variables, and webhooks. Administrative write operations require explicit approval.

Quick Start

bash

# List all sites
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/sites')
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

text

https://api.maton.ai/netlify/{native-api-path}

The gateway proxies requests to api.netlify.com and automatically injects your OAuth token. Only the endpoints documented in this skill are supported — always use specific endpoint paths from the API Reference section below rather than constructing arbitrary paths.

Authentication

All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:

text

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
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

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

List Connections

bash

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/connections?app=netlify&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': 'netlify'}).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

bash

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:

json

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-12T11:15:33.183756Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-12T11:15:51.556556Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "netlify",
    "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://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 Netlify connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

bash

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/sites')
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 sites, deploys, forms, submissions, and DNS within the connected Netlify account. Only install if you need Netlify administration. Prefer least-privilege OAuth access where available and review scopes before authorizing.
• Default to read-only operations. Always start by listing or retrieving resources to confirm account, site, and resource identifiers before proposing any changes.
• All write operations require explicit user approval with specific identifiers. Before executing any create, update, or delete call:
  1. Retrieve and display the target resource (site name/ID, deploy ID, DNS zone, env var key) so the user can verify.
  2. Clearly describe the intended effect (e.g., "This will delete site 'my-production-app' (site_id: abc123) and all its deploys").
  3. Wait for explicit user confirmation before proceeding.
• High-impact operations require extra caution. Deleting sites, modifying DNS zones/records, changing environment variables, and triggering production builds can affect live websites. These actions must include a summary of consequences and require confirmation.
• Prefer reversible actions. Use deploy locking over deletion, and rollback (restore deploy) over redeploying. Always confirm destructive operations like site deletion or DNS zone removal.

Code Examples

JavaScript

javascript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/sites',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const sites = await response.json();

Python

python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/sites',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
sites = response.json()

Create Site and Set Environment Variable

python

import os
import requests

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

# Create site
site = requests.post(
    'https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/my-account/sites',
    headers=headers,
    json={'name': 'my-new-site'}
).json()

# Add environment variable
requests.post(
    f'https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/accounts/{site["account_id"]}/env',
    headers=headers,
    params={'site_id': site['id']},
    json=[{'key': 'API_KEY', 'values': [{'value': 'secret', 'context': 'all'}]}]
)

Notes

• Site IDs are UUIDs (e.g., d37d1ce4-5444-40f5-a4ca-a2c40a8b6835)
• Account slugs are used for creating sites within a team (e.g., my-team-slug)
• Deploy IDs are returned when creating deploys and can be used to track deploy status
• Build hooks return a URL that can be POSTed to externally trigger builds
• Environment variable contexts control where variables are available: all, production, deploy-preview, branch-deploy, dev
• IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets 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

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Missing Netlify connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
404	Resource not found
429	Rate limited
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from Netlify API

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://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

1. Ensure your URL path starts with netlify. For example:

• Correct: https://api.maton.ai/netlify/api/v1/sites
• Incorrect: https://api.maton.ai/api/v1/sites
