The blockbeats-openclaw-skill is a specialized agentic tool designed to provide real-time access to the BlockBeats Pro API. It enables OpenClaw users to fetch, filter, and analyze crypto market intelligence directly from their terminal or chat interface. Whether you are tracking breaking newsflashes, monitoring on-chain activities, or scouting the latest financing rounds in the Web3 space, this skill acts as your personal financial research assistant. By abstracting the complexity of API endpoints and data parsing, it delivers structured, actionable insights in multiple languages including Chinese, English, Korean, and Japanese, directly into your workflow.
Installation
To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw package manager:

Once installed, the first priority is to configure your API credentials. The skill stores your API token locally within the ~/.openclaw/skills/blockbeats-api/config.json directory to maintain session persistence. You can register your token by sending the message: "设置 BlockBeats token: <your-api-key>".

Tips & Limitations
- Token Security: Ensure your API key is never shared. The configuration file is stored locally; please manage your machine's permissions accordingly.
- Parameter Scaling: While the API supports a size parameter up to 50, standard queries are limited to 10 items to ensure readable output. Use --size 50 for broad data gathering.
- Error Handling: If you encounter connection issues, verify your internet access and ensure your token is correctly formatted in the config file. Always verify API status codes if the agent reports an unsuccessful request.
