Overview

HTTP Request

When to Use

Call REST APIs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
Test or probe API endpoints
Fetch JSON or data from a URL
Send request bodies and custom headers

When NOT to Use

Web search — use tavily_search (web_search tool)
Scraping page content — use web_scraper
Simple file downloads — use curl or wget
GitHub operations — use github skill

Setup

Install dependency: pip install requests

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/request.py URL [options]

Option	Description
`--method GET	POST
`--data '{"key": "value"}'`	JSON request body
`--header "Name: Value"`	Custom header (repeatable)
`--timeout N`	Timeout in seconds
`--format text	json

Notes

For APIs requiring auth, use --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
JSON body must be valid; escape quotes properly for shell
Prefer this for structured API calls; use web_scraper for HTML extraction

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.

Overview

HTTP Request

When to Use

Call REST APIs (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, PATCH)
Test or probe API endpoints
Fetch JSON or data from a URL
Send request bodies and custom headers

When NOT to Use

Web search — use tavily_search (web_search tool)
Scraping page content — use web_scraper
Simple file downloads — use curl or wget
GitHub operations — use github skill

Setup

Install dependency: pip install requests

Usage/Commands

python {skill_path}/request.py URL [options]

Option	Description
`--method GET	POST
`--data '{"key": "value"}'`	JSON request body
`--header "Name: Value"`	Custom header (repeatable)
`--timeout N`	Timeout in seconds
`--format text	json

Notes

For APIs requiring auth, use --header "Authorization: Bearer <token>"
JSON body must be valid; escape quotes properly for shell
Prefer this for structured API calls; use web_scraper for HTML extraction

Listed tools are metadata hints, not tested compatibility. Agent prompts are suggested handoffs.

Start with one small task

1Read the source. Confirm the input, expected output, dependencies and permissions.
2Ask your agent for a plan. Approve setup and any costs before running a small isolated test.
3Check the output and changed files. Report only what actually ran; keep the source revision for reproduction.

Check the source for dependencies, API keys and third-party costs. A public repository does not mean every service is free.
