README (SKILL.md)

Diffbot

Operate Diffbot through your OOMOL-connected account. This skill calls the diffbot connector with the oo CLI; OOMOL injects credentials server-side, so you never handle raw tokens.

Category: Data & Analytics, AI. Exposes 1 action(s).

Running an action

Assume the user has already installed the oo CLI, signed in, and connected Diffbot. Do not run oo auth login or open the connection URL proactively — just run the action. Fall back to First-time setup only when a command actually fails with an auth or connection error.

1. Inspect the contract to get the authoritative input/output schema before building a payload:

oo connector schema "diffbot" --action "\x3Caction_name>"

2. Run the action with a JSON payload that matches the input schema:

oo connector run "diffbot" --action "\x3Caction_name>" --data '\x3Cjson>' --json
  • --data takes a JSON object string or @path/to/file.json; omit it to send {}.
  • The response is { "data": ..., "meta": { "executionId": "..." } }; the execution id lives under meta.executionId.

Each action below links to a reference file with its purpose and exact commands. Read the linked file, then fetch the live schema with oo connector schema before constructing --data.

Available actions

  • extract_article — Extract one public article URL with Diffbot and return a normalized article.

Safety

  • Read actions (get / list / search) are safe to run directly.
  • Create, update, send, or post actions change Diffbot state — confirm the exact payload and effect with the user before running.
  • Delete or remove actions are destructive — always confirm the target and get explicit approval first.

First-time setup

These are one-time steps — do not repeat them on every call. Run a step only when a command fails for the matching reason.

  • oo: command not found — install the oo CLI (other platforms: \x3Chttps://cli.oomol.com/install-guide.md>):

    curl -fsSL https://cli.oomol.com/install.sh | bash    # macOS / Linux
    
    irm https://cli.oomol.com/install.ps1 | iex           # Windows PowerShell
    
  • Not signed in / authentication error — sign in to your OOMOL account once:

    oo auth login
    
  • scope_missing / credential_expired / app_not_ready / app_not_found — Diffbot is not connected, or the connection expired or lacks a scope. Connect once (auth type: API key) at:

    https://console.oomol.com/app-connections?provider=diffbot
    
  • HTTP 402 / OOMOL_INSUFFICIENT_CREDIT — billing stop. Recharge at https://console.oomol.com/billing/token-recharge before retrying.

Usage Guidance
Install only if you are comfortable using an OOMOL account connected to Diffbot and letting the agent run `oo` connector commands. Treat the first-time installer and login steps as setup actions you should review, and watch for any Diffbot/OOMOL billing or credit use when running extraction requests.

Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose, Diffbot article extraction through an OOMOL-connected account, matches the only documented action, `extract_article`.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are scoped to inspecting the live connector schema and running the Diffbot connector; state-changing safety rules are included even though this version only exposes a read-style extraction action.
Install Mechanism
The skill includes conditional first-time setup commands, including a curl-to-bash installer for the `oo` CLI, but says to use them only after a missing-command or auth failure.
Credentials
The requested `Bash(oo *)` authority is broad within the `oo` CLI but coherent with operating an OOMOL connector and does not grant general shell access beyond `oo` commands.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill requires an OOMOL sign-in and connected Diffbot API key, with credentials described as server-side; it does not create persistence, background workers, local indexes, or token-harvesting flows.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install oo-diffbot
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /oo-diffbot
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
