TickTick

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](https://maton.ai)

2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://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.

  '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},

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'

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

| Status | Meaning |

|--------|---------|

| 400 | Missing TickTick connection or invalid request |

| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |

| 404 | Resource not found |

| 429 | Rate limited |

| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from TickTick API |

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. 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
