# Native Slack API call
curl -s -X POST "https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" -d '{"channel": "C0123456", "text": "Hello from gateway!"}'IMPORTANT: If you receive a 500 Internal Server Error, this does NOT mean the service is unsupported. The most common cause is an expired OAuth refresh token (connections older than 1 month). See the "Troubleshooting 500 Internal Server Error" section below to create a new connection and retry with the new connection ID.
https://gateway.maton.ai/{app}/{native-api-path}Replace {app} with the service name and {native-api-path} with the actual API endpoint path.
All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header:
Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEYThe API gateway automatically injects the appropriate OAuth token for the target service.
Environment Variable: You can set your API key as the MATON_API_KEY environment variable:
export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY"Connection management uses a separate base URL: https://ctrl.maton.ai
curl -s -X GET "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=slack&status=ACTIVE" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"Query Parameters (optional):
app - Filter by service name (e.g., slack, hubspot, salesforce)status - Filter by connection status (ACTIVE, PENDING, FAILED)Response:

}
}Open the returned URL in a browser to complete OAuth.
curl -s -X DELETE "https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY"If you have multiple connections for the same app, you can specify which connection to use by adding the Maton-Connection header with the connection ID:
curl -s -X POST "https://gateway.maton.ai/slack/api/chat.postMessage" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY" -H "Maton-Connection: 21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80" -d '{"channel": "C0123456", "text": "Hello!"}'If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection for that app.

Errors from the target API are passed through with their original status codes and response bodies.
IMPORTANT: A 500 Internal Server Error does NOT mean the service is unsupported. If the app is listed in the Supported Services table above, the error is likely due to an expired OAuth refresh token.
When you receive a 500 Internal Server Error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:
