Rest Api Caller

Use this skill when the user wants data fetched from an HTTP API, especially a REST endpoint that returns JSON.

This skill is intended for:

• public GET endpoints
• authenticated APIs using tokens or API keys
• endpoints where the user specifies headers, query params, or environment variable names

Requirements:

• The agent should have access to execute_code.

Workflow:

1. Activate this skill when the task requires calling an API.
2. If you need examples, call read_skill_file for references/examples.md.
3. Write a short Python script that performs the request.
4. Prefer the requests library if available in the environment.
5. Prefer execute_code.
6. Parse the response and print only the fields needed for the final answer.
7. Summarize the API result clearly for the user.

Rules:

1. Do not invent API responses. Run the request first.
2. For JSON APIs, parse JSON and extract the relevant fields instead of dumping the whole payload unless the user asks for the raw body.
3. If the user provides an environment variable name for a token or API key, read it from inside the script.
