JotForm

Access the JotForm API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage forms, retrieve submissions, and manage webhooks.

Quick Start

bash

# List user forms
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/jotform/user/forms?limit=20')
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

code

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

Replace {native-api-path} with the actual JotForm API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.jotform.com and automatically injects your API key.

Authentication

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

code

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

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

Connection Management

Manage your JotForm connections at https://ctrl.maton.ai.

List Connections

bash

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

bash

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:

json

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80",
    "status": "ACTIVE",
    "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z",
    "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z",
    "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
    "app": "jotform",
    "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://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 JotForm connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

bash

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/jotform/user/forms')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80')
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

javascript

const response = await fetch(
  'https://gateway.maton.ai/jotform/user/forms?limit=10',
  {
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
    }
  }
);

Python

python

import os
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://gateway.maton.ai/jotform/user/forms',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
    params={'limit': 10}
)

Notes

•Form IDs are numeric
•Pagination uses limit and offset
•Use orderby to sort results
•IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use curl -g when URLs contain brackets (fields[], sort[], records[]) 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. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.

Error Handling

Status	Meaning
400	Missing JotForm connection
401	Invalid or missing Maton API key
429	Rate limited (10 req/sec per account)
4xx/5xx	Passthrough error from JotForm API

Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key

When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:

•Check that the MATON_API_KEY environment variable is set:

bash

echo $MATON_API_KEY

•Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

bash

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
