# API
REST API reference documentation. 147 services with authentication, endpoints, and gotchas.
## Setup
On first use, read `setup.md` for usage guidelines.
## When to Use
User asks about integrating a third-party API. This skill provides:
- Authentication documentation
- Endpoint reference with curl examples
- Rate limits and pagination patterns
- Common mistakes to avoid
## Architecture
```
apis/ # API reference files by category
โโโ ai-ml.md # OpenAI, Anthropic, Cohere, etc.
โโโ payments.md # Stripe, PayPal, Square, etc.
โโโ communication.md # Twilio, SendGrid, Slack, etc.
โโโ ...
~/api/ # User preferences (optional)
โโโ preferences.md # Preferred language for examples
```

## How to Navigate API Files
Each category file contains multiple APIs. Use the index at the top of each file:
1. **Read the index first** โ Each file starts with an index table showing API names and line numbers
2. **Jump to specific API** โ Use the line number to read only that section (50-100 lines each)
3. **Example:**
```bash
# Read index
head -20 apis/ai-ml.md
# Read specific API section
sed -n '119,230p' apis/ai-ml.md
```
## Core Rules
1. **Find the right file first** โ Use the API Categories table to locate the service.
2. **Read the index, then jump** โ Each file has an index. Read only the section you need.
3. **Include Content-Type** โ POST/PUT/PATCH requests need `Content-Type: application/json`.
4. **Handle rate limits** โ Check `X-RateLimit-Remaining` header. Implement backoff on 429.
5. **Validate responses** โ Some APIs return 200 with error in body. Check response structure.
6. **Use idempotency keys** โ For payments and critical operations.
## Common Mistakes
- Missing `Content-Type: application/json` on POST requests
- API keys in URL query params (use headers instead)
- Ignoring pagination (most APIs default to 10-25 items)
- No retry logic for 429/5xx errors
- Assuming HTTP 200 means success
## Scope
This skill is **documentation only**. It provides:
- API endpoint reference
- Authentication patterns
- Code examples for reference
The user manages their own API keys and runs commands themselves.
## External Endpoints
This skill documents external APIs. Example endpoints shown are for the respective service providers (Stripe, OpenAI, etc.).
