How It Works

The skill provides OpenClaw with full documentation of the RelayAPI, including:

• Authentication — Bearer token via RELAYAPI_API_KEY
• Post creation — Content, scheduling, multi-platform targeting, media attachments
• Account management — List, connect, disconnect, health checks
• Media uploads — Pre-sign, create-only PUT with every returned header, and mandatory confirmation flow
• Webhooks — Registration and HMAC-SHA256 signature verification
• Validation tools — Pre-publish content validation
• Usage and billing — Check API call limits

OpenClaw uses curl under the hood to make requests to https://api.relayapi.dev.
