Setup
Requires DEAPI_API_KEY environment variable:
export DEAPI_API_KEY=your_key
Get your API key at deapi.ai (free $5 credit).
API Pattern
All deAPI requests are async:
- Submit job → get
request_id - Poll status every 10s
- When
done→ fetch fromresult_url
For detailed API parameters, see docs/api-reference.md.
Usage Guidance
Key things to consider before installing:
- The skill requires a DEAPI_API_KEY at runtime (SKILL.md shows export DEAPI_API_KEY) but the registry metadata does not declare this; expect to provide an API key if you use it.
- Using the skill means media (files/URLs you supply) will be downloaded and uploaded to deapi.ai — do not supply private or sensitive URLs/files unless you trust deapi.ai and understand its privacy/retention policy.
- The skill provides webhook/websocket samples; if you configure webhooks, ensure you properly implement signature verification and keep any webhook secrets private.
- Because the skill can be invoked autonomously by the agent, an exposed DEAPI_API_KEY (or one you set globally) could be used without explicit prompts. Prefer scoping credentials and use per-project keys if possible.
- Ask the publisher to correct the package metadata to declare DEAPI_API_KEY (and any other required env vars) so registry tooling and reviewers can accurately assess the need for secrets.
- If you have low trust in deapi.ai or need strong privacy guarantees, do not use this skill for sensitive media; consider running local or self-hosted tools instead.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: deapi-ai
Version: 1.0.0
The deapi-ai skill bundle is a legitimate integration for the deAPI media service, providing commands for AI-driven transcription, image/video generation, and OCR. It uses standard curl commands to interact with the official API (api.deapi.ai) and utilizes temporary local storage (/tmp) for image processing tasks. The instructions are well-structured, align with the stated purpose, and contain no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection attacks.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the instructions: this is a deAPI client for image/audio/video/OCR/embeddings and related tasks. The functionality described (calling deapi.ai endpoints) is consistent with the skill's purpose. However, the registry metadata lists no required environment variables while SKILL.md explicitly requires DEAPI_API_KEY — a clear mismatch.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md provides step-by-step cURL flows for job submission, polling, result fetching, and sample webhook/websocket boilerplate. It instructs the agent to download user-provided URLs to /tmp and then upload them to deapi.ai (expected for media processing). This is within scope but does involve downloading arbitrary remote content and sending it to a third-party service — a privacy/exfiltration concern if users provide sensitive URLs or files. The instructions do not tell the agent to read unrelated system files or other creds.
Install Mechanism
Instruction-only skill with no install spec and no code files — minimal filesystem footprint and no arbitrary third-party packages to fetch at install time.
Credentials
SKILL.md requires DEAPI_API_KEY (and shows how to export it), but the registry metadata reported no required env vars or primary credential. That mismatch is concerning: the skill needs a network API key (appropriate for its purpose) but the package metadata fails to declare it. No other unrelated credentials are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false and the skill does not request any system-level persistence or modify other skills. disable-model-invocation is false (normal), so the skill can be invoked autonomously; combined with the undeclared API key requirement this increases risk if the key is provided but the user is unaware of autonomous calls.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install deapi-ai - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/deapi-ai - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
