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
# 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:
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 Google OAuth 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=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
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
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
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:
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.

Code Examples
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: ${space.meetingUri}`);
Python
import os
import requests
headers = {
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'
}
# Create a meeting space
response = requests.post(
'https://gateway.maton.ai/google-meet/v2/spaces',
headers=headers,
json={}
)
space = response.json()
print(f"Meeting URL: {space['meetingUri']}")
Notes
- Spaces are persistent meeting rooms that can be reused
- Conference records are created when a meeting starts and track meeting history
- Access types:
OPEN(anyone with link),TRUSTED(organization members only),RESTRICTED(invited only) - Recordings and transcripts require Google Workspace with recording enabled
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use
curl -gwhen URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to
jqor other commands, environment variables like$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 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:
- 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
Troubleshooting: Invalid App Name
- 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
