CallRail
Access the CallRail API with managed OAuth authentication. Track calls, manage tracking numbers, analyze call data, and organize with tags.
Quick Start
# List all calls
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/callrail/v3/a/{account_id}/calls.json')
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/callrail/{native-api-path}
Replace {native-api-path} with the actual CallRail API endpoint path. The gateway proxies requests to api.callrail.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 CallRail 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=callrail&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': 'callrail'}).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": "75364cb9-7116-4367-a707-1113d426f17d",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"creation_time": "2026-02-10T09:55:17.574212Z",
"last_updated_time": "2026-02-10T09:55:34.693801Z",
"url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...",
"app": "callrail",
"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 CallRail 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/callrail/v3/a.json')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '75364cb9-7116-4367-a707-1113d426f17d')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF
If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection.

Pagination
CallRail uses offset-based pagination:
GET /callrail/v3/a/{account_id}/calls.json?page=2&per_page=50
Response includes:
json
{
"page": 2,
"per_page": 50,
"total_pages": 10,
"total_records": 487,
"calls": [...]
}
Parameters:
- page - Page number (default: 1)
- per_page - Results per page (default: 100, max: 250)
For the calls endpoint, you can also use relative pagination:
GET /callrail/v3/a/{account_id}/calls.json?relative_pagination=true
This returns next_page URL and has_next_page boolean for efficient pagination of large datasets.
Code Examples
JavaScript
const response = await fetch(
'https://gateway.maton.ai/callrail/v3/a/{account_id}/calls.json',
{
headers: {
'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}`
}
}
);
const data = await response.json();
console.log(data.calls);
Python
import os
import requests
response = requests.get(
'https://gateway.maton.ai/callrail/v3/a/{account_id}/calls.json',
headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'},
params={'per_page': 50, 'date_range': 'last_30_days'}
)
data = response.json()
for call in data['calls']:
print(f"{call['customer_name']}: {call['duration']}s")
Rate Limits
| Endpoint Type | Hourly Limit | Daily Limit |
|---|---|---|
| General API | 1,000 | 10,000 |
| SMS Send | 150 | 1,000 |
| Outbound Calls | 100 | 2,000 |
Exceeding limits returns HTTP 429. Implement exponential backoff for retries.

Troubleshooting: API Key Issues
- 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
callrail. For example:
- Correct:
https://gateway.maton.ai/callrail/v3/a.json - Incorrect:
https://gateway.maton.ai/v3/a.json
