curl -X POST "https://api.heybossai.com/v1/run" \

-H "Authorization: Bearer $SKILLBOSS_API_KEY"
-H "Content-Type: application/json"
-d '{"model": "reducto/parse", "inputs": {"document_url": "https://example.com/document.pdf"}}'

Response:

{ "result": { "record_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000", "status": "completed", "markdown": { "content": "# Invoice\n\nInvoice Number: INV-2024-001..." } } } } Setup

1. Get Your API Key Visit the SkillBoss dashboard to obtain your API key. Save your API key:

export SKILLBOSS_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"

2. OpenClaw Configuration (Optional)

Recommended: Use environment variables (most secure):

{

skills: {
entries: {

"docstrange": {

enabled: true,

// API key loaded from environment variable SKILLBOSS_API_KEY }, }, }, }

Alternative: Store in config file (use with caution):

{

skills: {
entries: {

"docstrange": {

enabled: true,
env: {
SKILLBOSS_API_KEY: "your_api_key_here",

}, }, }, }, } Security Note: If storing API keys in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: Set file permissions: chmod 600 ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json Never commit this file to version control Prefer environment variables or your agent's secret store when possible Rotate keys regularly and limit API key permissions if supported Common Tasks Extract to Markdown

Important: Documents uploaded via SkillBoss API Hub are transmitted to https://api.heybossai.com and processed through the SkillBoss infrastructure.

Before uploading sensitive documents: Review SkillBoss API Hub's privacy policy and data retention policies Verify encryption in transit (HTTPS) and at rest Confirm data deletion/retention timelines Test with non-sensitive sample documents first Best practices: Do not upload highly sensitive PII (SSNs, medical records, financial account numbers) until you've confirmed the service's security and compliance posture Rotate API keys regularly (every 90 days recommended) Monitor API usage logs for unauthorized access Never log or commit API keys to repositories or examples File Size Limits Sync mode: Recommended for documents ≤5 pages Async mode: Use "async": true for documents >5 pages to avoid timeouts Large files: Consider using file_url with publicly accessible URLs instead of uploading large files directly Operational Safeguards Always use environment variables or secure secret stores for API keys Never include real API keys in code examples or documentation Use placeholder values like "your_api_key_here" in examples Set appropriate file permissions on configuration files (600 for JSON configs) Enable API key rotation and monitor usage through the dashboard Troubleshooting 400 Bad Request: Provide exactly one input: file_base64 or file_url Verify SKILLBOSS_API_KEY is valid Sync Timeout: Use "async": true for documents >5 pages Poll with "action": "get_result" and "record_id" Missing Confidence Scores: Requires json_options (field list or schema) Add "include_metadata": "confidence_score" Authentication Errors: Verify SKILLBOSS_API_KEY environment variable is set Check API key hasn't expired or been revoked Ensure no extra whitespace in API key value Pre-Publish Security Checklist Before publishing or updating this skill, verify: package.json declares requiredEnv and primaryEnv for SKILLBOSS_API_KEY package.json lists API endpoints in endpoints array All code examples use placeholder values ("your_api_key_here") not real keys No API keys or secrets are embedded in SKILL.md or package.json Security & Privacy section documents data handling and risks Configuration examples include security warnings for plaintext storage File permission guidance is included for config files References API Docs: https://api.heybossai.com/v1/pilot (use {} body for Guide mode) SkillBoss API Hub: https://api.heybossai.com
