API Integration Free for Openclaw

1. Confirm your agent runtime supports SKILL.md-driven skills.
2. Ensure Python and the requests library are available in your environment.
3. Set your API key as an environment variable before running any requests.

export API_KEY="${API_KEY:?Please set the environment variable}"

4. Restart your shell session or open a new terminal so the variable is loaded.
5. Keep the API key out of source control and never hardcode it in scripts.
6. Use HTTPS endpoints only, and verify the target service documentation for the required header format.

Example Python pattern:

python - <<'PY'
import requests

response = requests.get(
    'https://api.example.com/v1/users',
    headers={'Authorization': 'Bearer your_api_key_here'}
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())
