API Health Checker

Tests API endpoints by sending requests, validating responses, measuring performance, handling authentication, and generating detailed health reports.

A skill that enables Claw to test API endpoints, verify their responses, measure performance, and generate a health report.

What This Skill Does

This skill provides a systematic API testing and monitoring workflow:

1. Endpoint Testing — Send HTTP requests (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to specified API endpoints
2. Response Validation — Check status codes, response times, and response body structure against expected values
3. Authentication Support — Handle API keys, Bearer tokens, and basic auth headers
4. Performance Measurement — Record response times and flag slow endpoints
5. Health Report — Generate a comprehensive report summarizing the status of all tested endpoints

How to Use

Provide API endpoints and Claw will test them:

• "Check if https://api.example.com/v1/status is responding correctly"
• "Test all endpoints in this API and report which ones are failing"
• "Monitor these 5 endpoints and tell me their average response times"
• "Verify that the /users endpoint returns a JSON array with the expected fields"

Configuration

You can specify:

• Endpoints — A list of URLs to test
• Expected status codes — What HTTP status each endpoint should return (default: 200)
• Timeout — Maximum wait time per request (default: 10 seconds)
• Headers — Custom headers including authentication tokens
• Request body — For POST/PUT requests

Output

The health report includes:

• Status Summary — Total endpoints tested, passed, failed, and timed out
• Per-Endpoint Details — URL, method, status code, response time, and pass/fail result
• Performance Metrics — Average, min, max, and p95 response times
• Recommendations — Suggestions for endpoints that are slow or returning errors
