name: netlify description: | Netlify API integration with managed OAuth. Deploy sites, manage builds, configure DNS, and handle environment variables. Use this skill when users want to manage Netlify sites, deployments, build settings, or DNS configurations. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Requires network access and valid Maton API key. metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" clawdbot: emoji: 🧠 homepage: https://maton.ai requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY

Netlify

Access the Netlify API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage sites, deploys, builds, DNS zones, environment variables, and webhooks.

Quick Start

# List all sites
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.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

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

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Netlify API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.netlify.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 Netlify 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=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

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'netlify'}).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": "9e674cd3-2280-4eb4-9ff7-b12ec8ca3f55",
    "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

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 Netlify 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/netlify/api/v1/sites')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '9e674cd3-2280-4eb4-9ff7-b12ec8ca3f55')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Code Examples

JavaScript

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

Python

import os
import requests

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

Create Site and Set Environment Variable

import os
import requests

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

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

# Add environment variable
requests.post(
    f'https://gateway.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

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

1. 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

Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name

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

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