Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
{skill_base_dir}/scripts/apiclaw.py | Execute for all API calls (run --help for params) |
{skill_base_dir}/references/reference.md | Load for exact field names or response structure |
{skill_base_dir}/monitor-data/ | Runtime storage (auto-created): config.json, baseline.json, history/, alerts.json |
Credential
Required: APICLAW_API_KEY. Get free key at apiclaw.io/api-keys.
Input
Required: keyword or ASIN(s). Optional: my_asin, competitor_asins, brand.
If only ASIN given → derive keyword via product --asin then ask user to confirm.
Brand queries MUST also include confirmed --category.
API Pitfalls (CRITICAL)
- Category auto-detection: categoryPath is auto-detected from keyword, ASIN, or top search result. If
category_sourcein output isinferred_from_search, MUST confirm with user before trusting results - All keyword-based endpoints MUST include
--category; ASIN-specific endpoints do NOT need it - Brand + category: a brand sells across categories — only analyze within locked subcategory
- Use API fields directly: revenue=
sampleAvgMonthlyRevenue(NEVER price×sales), sales=monthlySalesFloor, concentration=sampleTop10BrandSalesRate - reviews/analysis: needs 50+ reviews; fallback to ratingBreakdown from realtime/product
Mode Selection
- Full Scan (~28-35 credits): First run, no baseline.json, explicit request, or weekly refresh
- Quick Check (~5-10 credits): Cron trigger, baseline exists, "check competitors"
Full Scan Flow
competitor-analysis --keyword X [--category Y] [--my-asin Z](composite, auto-detects category)- If
category_sourceisinferred_from_search, confirm with user before presenting results - Analyze & score → save baseline to
{skill_base_dir}/monitor-data/→ offer Auto-Monitor
Quick Check Flow
- Load config.json + baseline.json from
{skill_base_dir}/monitor-data/(missing → fall back to Full Scan) - Poll
product --asin {asin}for each tracked ASIN - Diff against baseline with tiered alerts → update baseline → offer Auto-Monitor
Alert Tiers
| 🔴 Critical | 🟡 Watch | 🟢 Opportunity |
|---|---|---|
| Price change > threshold | FBA↔FBM switch | Competitor stock-out |
| BSR crash > threshold | Rating change | Bullet/image changes |
| Buy Box owner changed | Abnormal review growth | Variant added/removed |
| Title modified |
