name: ticktick description: | TickTick API integration with managed OAuth. Manage tasks, projects, and task lists. Use this skill when users want to create, update, complete, or organize tasks and projects in TickTick. 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: 🧠 requires: env: - MATON_API_KEY

TickTick

Access the TickTick API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage tasks and projects with full CRUD operations.

Quick Start

# List all projects
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/ticktick/open/v1/project')
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/ticktick/{native-api-path}

The gateway proxies requests to api.ticktick.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 TickTick 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=ticktick&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': 'ticktick'}).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": "1fd9c3aa-6b46-456f-aa21-ed154de23ab7",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2026-02-07T09:55:40.786711Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-02-07T09:56:30.403237Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "ticktick",
    "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 TickTick 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/ticktick/open/v1/project')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '1fd9c3aa-6b46-456f-aa21-ed154de23ab7')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

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

Task Fields

Code Examples

JavaScript

// List all projects
const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/ticktick/open/v1/project',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);
const projects = await response.json();

// Create a task
const createResponse = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/ticktick/open/v1/task',
  {
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    body: JSON.stringify({
      title: 'New task',
      projectId: 'PROJECT_ID'
    })
  }
);

Python

import os
import requests

# List all projects
response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/ticktick/open/v1/project',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}
)
projects = response.json()

# Create a task
response = requests.post(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/ticktick/open/v1/task',
    headers={
        'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}',
        'Content-Type': 'application/json'
    },
    json={
        'title': 'New task',
        'projectId': 'PROJECT_ID'
    }
)

Notes

• The Open API provides access to tasks and projects only
• Habits, focus/pomodoro, and tags are not available through the Open API
• Task status values: 0 = Active, 2 = Completed
• Priority values: 0 = None, 1 = Low, 3 = Medium, 5 = High
• Dates use ISO 8601 format with timezone offset (e.g., 2026-02-15T10:00:00+0000)
• viewMode for projects: list, kanban, or timeline
• The columns field in project data is used for Kanban board columns
• 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 ticktick. For example:

• Correct: https://gateway.maton.ai/ticktick/open/v1/project
• Incorrect: https://gateway.maton.ai/open/v1/project
