# APIClaw — Amazon Seller Data Analysis > AI-powered Amazon product research. From market discovery to daily operations. > > **Language rule**: Always respond in the user's language. If the user asks in Chinese, reply in Chinese. If in English, reply in English. The language of this skill document does not affect output language. > All API calls go through `scripts/apiclaw.py` — one script, 5 endpoints, built-in error handling. ## Credentials - Required: `APICLAW_API_KEY` - Scope: used only for `https://api.apiclaw.io` - Resolution order: 1. **Environment variable** `APICLAW_API_KEY` (preferred, most secure) 2. **Config file** `config.json` in the skill root directory (fallback) ```json { "api_key": "hms_live_xxxxxx" } ``` When user provides a Key, write it to `config.json`. New keys may need 3-5 seconds to activate — if first call returns 403, wait 3 seconds and retry (max 2 retries). **⚠️ Data persistence notice:** When you provide an API Key, the skill saves it to `config.json` in the skill directory for persistent access across sessions. This file is local-only and listed in `.gitignore` to prevent accidental commits. If you prefer not to store the key on disk, use the environment variable method (`export APICLAW_API_KEY=...`) instead — no file will be created. **New users:** Get API Key at [apiclaw.io/api-keys](https://apiclaw.io/api-keys). ## File Map | File | When to Load | |------|-------------| | `SKILL.md` (this file) | Start here — covers 80% of tasks ...
