Renderkit

RenderKit Skill

Render structured data as beautiful hosted web pages, and create hosted forms for data collection.

Setup

1. Sign up at https://renderkit.live to get your API key
2. Set your environment variable:

export RENDERKIT_API_KEY="your-api-key"

Usage

All commands use curl to hit the RenderKit API. Pick the right endpoint:

• Read-only pages (results, summaries, comparisons, itineraries) → POST /v1/render
• Data collection (forms, surveys, RSVPs, signups, feedback) → POST /v1/forms

Create a page

curl -s -X POST https://renderkit.live/v1/render \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "template": "freeform",
    "context": "brief description of what this content is",
    "data": {
      "title": "Page Title",
      "content": "your data here — markdown, structured objects, anything"
    }
  }'

Returns url, slug, and render_id. Templates: freeform (AI picks layout) or travel_itinerary.

Update a page

curl -s -X PATCH https://renderkit.live/v1/render/{render_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "strategy": "merge",
    "context": "updated description",
    "data": { "content": "new or additional data" }
  }'

Strategies: merge (add sections) or replace (full rewrite). The URL stays the same.

Check page status

curl -s https://renderkit.live/v1/render/{render_id}/status \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY"

Create a form

curl -s -X POST https://renderkit.live/v1/forms \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Event RSVP",
    "prompt": "Create an RSVP form for a dinner party. Ask for name, email, dietary restrictions, and plus-one.",
    "multi_response": true,
    "expires_in": 604800
  }'

Returns a url to share with respondents. You can also provide explicit fields instead of a prompt.

Get form responses

curl -s https://renderkit.live/v1/forms/{form_id}/responses \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY"

Close a form

curl -s -X DELETE https://renderkit.live/v1/forms/{form_id} \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY"

Notes

• Never use /v1/render to fake a form — it produces a static page that cannot collect responses
• Include URLs inline in your data — they are automatically enriched with images, ratings, and metadata
• Optionally pass a theme: "theme": { "mode": "dark", "palette": ["#color1", "#color2"] }
• Updates (PATCH) are free and don't count toward your quota
• If you rendered a page in this conversation, prefer PATCH over POST for follow-up changes
