API Credits Lite

API Credits Lite

Use this skill when the user asks about API credits, balances, spending, or wants to update their credit info for Anthropic, OpenAI, OpenRouter, Mistral, or Groq.

When to Use

✅ USE this skill when the user asks:

• "How much credit do I have left?" / "What's my balance?"
• "Show my API credits" / "Check my credits"
• "Update my [provider] balance to $X"
• "I topped up [provider] by $X"
• "Am I running low on [provider]?"

❌ DON'T use when:

• The user needs 16+ providers, JSONL auto-tracking, cloud SDKs, or heartbeat integration → use api-credits-pro

How to Use

You run the scripts internally — the user never types python3. Respond naturally and present health bar output conversationally.

The skill root is at: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/api-credits-lite/ Run scripts with: python3 <skill-root>/scripts/<script>.py <args>

Show Credit Balances

Triggers: "show my credits", "how much do I have left", "check my API balance"

python3 scripts/show_credits.py

Displays retro health bars for all configured providers. Colors: 🟩 >75% · 🟨 50–75% · 🟧 25–50% · 🟥 <25%

Manual Balance Sync

Triggers: "set my Anthropic balance to $X", "update my OpenAI credits to $X", "I have $X left on [provider]"

python3 scripts/sync_provider.py <provider> <balance>
# With max:  python3 scripts/sync_provider.py <provider> <balance> <max_credits>

# Examples:
python3 scripts/sync_provider.py anthropic 22.97
python3 scripts/sync_provider.py openai 95.00 100.00

Supported providers: anthropic, openai, openrouter, mistral, groq

Where to find balances:

• Anthropic → console.anthropic.com
• OpenAI → platform.openai.com/usage
• OpenRouter → openrouter.ai/activity
• Mistral → console.mistral.ai/billing
• Groq → console.groq.com/settings/billing

Auto-Check Balance via API

Triggers: "check my OpenAI balance automatically", "pull my OpenRouter credits"

For providers that expose a balance API (requires the relevant API key set as an env var):

python3 scripts/check_openai.py       # uses OPENAI_API_KEY
python3 scripts/check_openrouter.py   # uses OPENROUTER_API_KEY
python3 scripts/check_vercel.py       # uses VERCEL_AI_GATEWAY_KEY

Anthropic, Mistral, and Groq don't have public balance APIs — use manual sync for those.

Record a Top-Up

Triggers: "I added $X to my [provider] account", "I topped up $50 on OpenRouter"

python3 scripts/topup.py <provider> <amount>
# Example: python3 scripts/topup.py openrouter 20.00

Troubleshooting

If the display shows no providers, the config may be empty. Tell the user to run the first manual sync for each provider they use, or copy the example config:

cp config.example.json config.json

Upgrading

Need 16+ providers, auto-tracking from session logs, cloud SDKs (AWS/Azure/GCP), or heartbeat integration? Suggest api-credits-pro.
