instantly（instantly 分析）

Instantly

Access the Instantly API v2 with managed authentication. Manage cold email campaigns, leads, sending accounts, and view analytics.

Quick Start

# List campaigns
python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/instantly/api/v2/campaigns?limit=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://api.maton.ai/instantly/{native-api-path}

Maton proxies requests to api.instantly.ai and automatically injects your API key.

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

1. Sign in or create an account at maton.ai
2. Go to maton.ai/settings
3. Copy your API key

Connection Management

Manage your Instantly connections at https://api.maton.ai.

EOF

Create Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
data = json.dumps({'app': 'instantly'}).encode()
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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

req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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:

{
  "connection": {
    "connection_id": "{connection_id}",

    "metadata": {}
  }
}

Open the returned url in a browser to complete authorization.

Delete Connection

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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 Instantly connections, specify which one to use with the Maton-Connection header:

python <<'EOF'
import urllib.request, os, json
req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.maton.ai/instantly/api/v2/campaigns')
req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}')
req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '{connection_id}')
print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2))
EOF

If you have multiple connections, always include this header to ensure requests go to the intended account.

Security & Permissions

• Access is scoped to campaigns, leads, accounts, and email analytics within the connected Instantly account.
• All write operations require explicit user approval. Before executing any create, update, or delete call, confirm the target resource and intended effect with the user.

## Pagination

Instantly uses cursor-based pagination with `limit` and `starting_after`:

Response includes pagination info:

{ "items": [...], "next_starting_after": "cursor_for_next_page" }

Use `next_starting_after` value in the next request's `starting_after` parameter.

## Code Examples

### JavaScript

const response = await fetch( 'https://api.maton.ai/instantly/api/v2/campaigns?limit=10', { headers: { 'Authorization': Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY} } } ); const data = await response.json();

### Python

import os import requests

response = requests.get( 'https://api.maton.ai/instantly/api/v2/campaigns', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={'limit': 10} ) data = response.json()

## Notes

- Instantly API v2 uses snake_case for all field names
- Lead custom variables must be string, number, boolean, or null (no objects/arrays)
- The List Leads endpoint is POST (not GET) due to complex filtering requirements
- Campaign status values: 0=draft, 1=active, 2=paused, 3=completed
- Email verification may return `pending` status if it takes longer than 10 seconds
- Warmup operations return background job IDs - poll the background jobs endpoint for status
- IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing
- IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq`, environment variables may not expand correctly. Use Python examples instead.

## Error Handling

| Status | Meaning |
|--------|---------|
| 400 | Missing Instantly connection or invalid request |
| 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key |
| 403 | Insufficient API key scopes |
| 429 | Rate limited |
| 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Instantly API |

### Troubleshooting: API Key Issues

1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set:

echo $MATON_API_KEY

2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections:

python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://api.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 `instantly`. For example:

- Correct: `https://api.maton.ai/instantly/api/v2/campaigns`
- Incorrect: `https://api.maton.ai/api/v2/campaigns`
