Introduction
# Google Meet
Access the Google Meet API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage meeting spaces, list conference records, and retrieve participant information.
## Quick Start
```bash # Create a meeting space python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/v2/spaces', 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 ```
## Base URL
``` https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/{native-api-path} ```
Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Google Meet API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `meet.googleapis.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`:
```bash 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 Google OAuth 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=google-meet&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': 'google-meet'}).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": "google-meet", "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 Google Meet connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header:
```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/v2/spaces', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') 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.
## API Reference
### Spaces
#### Create Space
```bash POST /google-meet/v2/spaces Content-Type: application/json
{} ```

{ "config": { "accessType": "TRUSTED" } } ```
#### End Active Call
```bash POST /google-meet/v2/spaces/{spaceId}:endActiveConference ```

## Code Examples
### JavaScript
```javascript // Create a meeting space const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/v2/spaces', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` }, body: JSON.stringify({}) } );
const space = await response.json(); console.log(`Meeting URL: ${space.meetingUri}`); ```
### Python
```python import os import requests
headers = { 'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}' }
# Create a meeting space response = requests.post( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/v2/spaces', headers=headers, json={} ) space = response.json() print(f"Meeting URL: {space['meetingUri']}") ```
## Notes
- Spaces are persistent meeting rooms that can be reused - Conference records are created when a meeting starts and track meeting history - Access types: `OPEN` (anyone with link), `TRUSTED` (organization members only), `RESTRICTED` (invited only) - Recordings and transcripts require Google Workspace with recording enabled - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$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 Google Meet connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Google Meet API |
### Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key
**When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:**
1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:
```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ```
2. 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 ```
### Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
1. Ensure your URL path starts with `google-meet`. For example:
- Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/v2/spaces` - Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/meet/v2/spaces`
