API Setup

This skill helps you set up a new API integration with our standard configuration.

Steps

  1. Run setup.sh <api-name> to create the integration directory
  2. Copy templates/config.template.json to your integration directory
  3. Update the config with your API credentials
  4. Test the connection

Configuration

The config template includes:

  • api_key: Your API key (get from the provider's dashboard)
  • endpoint: API endpoint URL
  • timeout: Request timeout in seconds (default: 30)

Verification

After setup, verify:

  • Config file is valid JSON
  • API key is set and not a placeholder
  • Test connection succeeds

Troubleshooting

Connection Timeout

If you experience connection timeouts:

  1. Check your network connection
  2. Verify the endpoint URL is correct
  3. Increase the timeout value in config

Authentication Errors

If you get 401/403 errors:

  1. Verify your API key is correct
  2. Check if the key has the required permissions
  3. Ensure the key hasn't expired
