README (SKILL.md)
Delete File
What It Does
Deletes a file from cloud storage by its URL. Verifies ownership — only the API key that uploaded the file can delete it.
When to Use
- Remove files you no longer need
- Clean up storage before the 30-day auto-deletion
Required Inputs
url— the file URL returned by the upload endpoint
Authentication
Send your API key in the CLIENT-API-KEY header.
Get your free API key at https://pdfapihub.com. Full API documentation is available at https://pdfapihub.com/docs.
Use Cases
- Privacy Compliance — Delete files immediately after processing to meet GDPR/privacy requirements
- Storage Cleanup — Remove files you no longer need before the 30-day auto-deletion
- Workflow Cleanup — Delete intermediate files after a multi-step pipeline completes
- Sensitive Document Handling — Immediately remove confidential documents after processing
Example Usage
curl -X POST https://pdfapihub.com/api/v1/file/delete \
-H "CLIENT-API-KEY: your_api_key" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{ "url": "https://bucket.s3.amazonaws.com/pdf/abc123_my_report.pdf" }'
Notes
- Returns 403 if the file doesn't belong to the requesting API key
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do exactly one thing: call pdfapihub.com's delete API with a CLIENT-API-KEY and a file URL. Before installing/using it: (1) confirm you trust pdfapihub.com and that the API key you supply belongs to you; (2) don't paste sensitive or production keys into untrusted UIs—prefer ephemeral/test keys when first trying; (3) verify the service's docs and privacy policy if you plan to delete sensitive files (the skill assumes the service enforces ownership checks); and (4) test on a non-sensitive file to confirm behavior (e.g., that a 403 is returned when deleting files not owned by your key).
Capability Tags
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The name/description (delete a file by URL) matches the instructions and skill.json which call a single delete endpoint on pdfapihub.com. There are no unrelated credentials, binaries, or install steps requested.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only directs making an HTTP POST to the service's delete endpoint with the file URL and an API key in the CLIENT-API-KEY header. It does not instruct reading local files, other env vars, or contacting other endpoints.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec and no code files to write or execute; this is instruction-only, which minimizes installation risk.
Credentials
The skill requires an API key (declared in skill.json as header auth) but does not list any required environment variables — this is coherent: the user supplies the API key at runtime. No other secrets or unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request persistent system-level presence or modify other skills/config. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but not combined with broad privileges.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install delete-file - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/delete-file - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
Version History
