Stripe
Access the Stripe API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage customers, subscriptions, payments, invoices, and products.
Quick Start
# List customers
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers?limit=10')
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/stripe/{native-api-path}
Replace {native-api-path} with the actual Stripe API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.stripe.com and automatically injects your API credentials.
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
- •Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
- •Go to maton.ai/settings
- •Copy your API key
Connection Management
Manage your Stripe 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=stripe&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': 'stripe'}).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": "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": "stripe",
"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 Stripe 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/stripe/v1/customers')
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
const response = await fetch('https://gateway.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers?limit=10', {
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
}
});
Python
import os
import requests

'https://gateway.maton.ai/stripe/v1/customers',
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
params={'limit': 10}
)
Notes
- •Stripe API uses form-urlencoded data for POST requests
- •IDs are prefixed:
cus_(customer),sub_(subscription),prod_(product),price_(price),in_(invoice),pi_(payment intent) - •Amounts are in cents (1999 = $19.99)
- •Use
expand[]parameter to include related objects - •List endpoints support pagination with
starting_afterandending_before - •Delete returns
{id, deleted: true}on success - •IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
curl -gwhen URLs contain brackets (items[],expand[]) to disable glob parsing - •IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$MATON_API_KEYmay not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping.
Error Handling
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| 400 | Missing Stripe connection |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Stripe 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_KEYenvironment variable is set:
echo $MATON_API_KEY
- •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
