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
