Introduction
# Typeform
Access the Typeform API with managed OAuth authentication. Create and manage forms, retrieve responses, and access insights.
## Quick Start
```bash # List forms python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms?page_size=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/typeform/{native-api-path} ```
Replace `{native-api-path}` with the actual Typeform API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to `api.typeform.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 Typeform 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=typeform&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': 'typeform'}).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": "typeform", "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 Typeform 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/typeform/forms?page_size=10') 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.

#### Delete Form
```bash DELETE /typeform/forms/{formId} ```
### Responses
#### List Responses

With filters:
```bash GET /typeform/forms/{formId}/responses?since=2024-01-01T00:00:00Z&until=2024-12-31T23:59:59Z&completed=true ```
### Insights
```bash GET /typeform/insights/{formId}/summary ```
### Workspaces
```bash GET /typeform/workspaces GET /typeform/workspaces/{workspaceId} ```
## Field Types
- `short_text` - Single line text - `long_text` - Multi-line text - `email` - Email address - `number` - Numeric input - `rating` - Star rating - `opinion_scale` - 0-10 scale - `multiple_choice` - Single or multiple selection - `yes_no` - Boolean - `date` - Date picker - `dropdown` - Dropdown selection
## Code Examples
### JavaScript
```javascript const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms?page_size=10', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); ```
### Python
```python import os import requests
response = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={'page_size': 10} ) ```
## Notes
- Form IDs are alphanumeric strings - Response pagination uses `before` token - Timestamps are in ISO 8601 format - DELETE operations return HTTP 204 - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets (`fields[]`, `sort[]`, `records[]`) to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$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 Typeform connection | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 429 | Rate limited (10 req/sec per account) | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Typeform API |
### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
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 `typeform`. For example:
- Correct: `https://gateway.maton.ai/typeform/forms` - Incorrect: `https://gateway.maton.ai/forms`
