description	Fetch ClickHouse Cloud service details from API (organization ID, service endpoints, configuration). Use when setting up new ClickHouse Cloud services, discovering endpoints, or validating service metadata for gapless-crypto-clickhouse project.

ClickHouse Cloud Service Setup

Automate service metadata discovery via ClickHouse Cloud API for gapless-crypto-clickhouse project.

Purpose

Fetch and store ClickHouse Cloud service details using the ClickHouse Cloud REST API. This skill guides the workflow of:

1. Authenticating with ClickHouse Cloud API
2. Resolving Organization ID
3. Fetching service metadata
4. Extracting connection endpoints
5. Storing configuration in Doppler

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• Initial service provisioning: Setting up a new ClickHouse Cloud service
• Service discovery: Finding endpoints and configuration for existing service
• Endpoint resolution: Determining HTTPS (port 8443) or Native (port 9440) endpoints
• Configuration validation: Verifying idle scaling, memory tier, IP access settings

Triggers: User mentions "ClickHouse Cloud service", "fetch service details", "organization ID", "service endpoints"

Prerequisites

Required Credentials (stored in Doppler aws-credentials/prd project):

• CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_KEY_ID: API Key ID (format: xnIdJM3n42LDImsZ9zzg)
• CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_KEY_SECRET: API Key Secret (secured in Doppler)

Service Context:

• Service ID: <CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_ID> (gapless-crypto-clickhouse service)
• Organization: "<CLICKHOUSE_ORG_NAME>"

Workflow

Step 1: Authenticate with ClickHouse Cloud API

# Retrieve API credentials from Doppler
KEY_ID=$(doppler secrets get CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_KEY_ID --project aws-credentials --config prd --plain)
KEY_SECRET=$(doppler secrets get CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_KEY_SECRET --project aws-credentials --config prd --plain)

API Authentication: HTTP Basic Auth with KEY_ID:KEY_SECRET

Step 2: Resolve Organization ID

# Fetch organizations
curl -s -u "$KEY_ID:$KEY_SECRET" https://api.clickhouse.cloud/v1/organizations | jq -r '.[0].id'

Expected Output: UUID format (e.g., <CLICKHOUSE_ORG_ID>)

Store in Doppler:

doppler secrets set CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_ORG_ID "<org_id>" --project aws-credentials --config prd

Step 3: Fetch Service Details

# Get service metadata
SERVICE_ID="<CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_ID>"  # gapless-crypto-clickhouse service
ORG_ID=$(doppler secrets get CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_ORG_ID --project aws-credentials --config prd --plain)

curl -s -u "$KEY_ID:$KEY_SECRET" \
  "https://api.clickhouse.cloud/v1/organizations/$ORG_ID/services/$SERVICE_ID" | jq '.'

Response Schema: See references/api-endpoints.md

Step 4: Extract Connection Endpoints

From API response, extract:

HTTPS Endpoint (recommended for clickhouse-connect):

• Host: <CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_HOST>
• Port: 8443

Native Protocol Endpoint (for clickhouse-client):

• Host: <CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_HOST>
• Port: 9440

Store in Doppler:

doppler secrets set CLICKHOUSE_HOST "<CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_HOST>" --project aws-credentials --config prd
doppler secrets set CLICKHOUSE_PORT "8443" --project aws-credentials --config prd
doppler secrets set CLICKHOUSE_USER "default" --project aws-credentials --config prd

Step 5: Extract Service Configuration

Configuration Details:

• Idle Scaling: Enabled (15 minutes timeout)
• Memory Tier: 8-24 GB (development tier)
• Region: us-west-2 (AWS)
• ClickHouse Version: 25.8.1.8702
• IP Access: 0.0.0.0/0 (open to world, consider restricting for production)

State Validation: Ensure service state is running

Success Criteria

• ✅ Organization ID retrieved and stored in Doppler
• ✅ Service details fetched successfully
• ✅ Connection endpoints extracted (HTTPS 8443 confirmed)
• ✅ Configuration parameters validated (idle scaling enabled, region us-west-2)
• ✅ Service state confirmed as running

Troubleshooting

Issue: "Could not authenticate with ClickHouse Cloud API"

• Check: Verify CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_KEY_ID and CLICKHOUSE_CLOUD_KEY_SECRET in Doppler
• Verify: API keys not expired (check https://clickhouse.cloud/ → Settings → API Keys)

Issue: "Service not found"

• Check: Verify service ID matches gapless-crypto-clickhouse service
• Expected: <CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_ID>

Issue: "Service state is not running"

• Action: Check ClickHouse Cloud console (https://clickhouse.cloud/services/<CLICKHOUSE_SERVICE_ID>)
• Possible causes: Service paused (idle scaling), payment issue, manual stop
