shipp

What This Skill Does

The Shipp skill acts as a powerful real-time data bridge for the OpenClaw agent, enabling it to pull high-fidelity, streaming data directly from the Shipp.ai infrastructure. Unlike static databases, Shipp specializes in volatile, fast-changing information such as sports scores, live event updates, and schedule shifts. By leveraging the Shipp API, the agent can translate natural language requests—like asking for a specific team's upcoming schedule—into precise data queries. The skill handles the complexity of authentication, connection management, and data retrieval, providing a seamless interface for the agent to ingest raw, schema-flexible JSON payloads that evolve based on the sport or event type.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, use the OpenClaw hub command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/kclonts/shipp

Ensure you have your Shipp.ai API key ready, which can be generated at platform.shipp.ai. While the skill handles headers automatically, you may need to define your preferred authentication method if your network security policies require specific header patterns.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for scenarios requiring real-time situational awareness. Typical use cases include:

• Automated Sports Reporting: Generating instant summaries or newsletters based on live game events.
• Event Monitoring: Setting up persistent tracking connections for specific sports leagues to receive push-like updates as events progress.
• Data Aggregation: Fetching normalized schedule data for multiple sports to feed into downstream analysis tools or dashboards.
• Decision Support: Providing real-time input for agents making time-sensitive decisions based on current game states.

Example Prompts

1. "Shipp, create a new connection to track all upcoming Lakers games for the next week and give me a summary of their start times."
2. "Check the current NFL schedule for today and list any games starting within the next two hours."
3. "List my active Shipp connections and pull the latest event data for the connection with the ID '01HJW...'"

Tips & Limitations

• Flexibility is Key: Because the event data is schema-flexible JSON, always implement robust defensive parsing to handle variations across different sports.
• Connection Management: Reuse your connection_id whenever possible. Frequent creation of new connections can clutter your organization's dashboard.
• Time Windows: Use the since parameter in your requests to minimize redundant data processing and keep your token usage efficient.
• Network Dependence: This skill requires external network access to the Shipp.ai API. Ensure your agent environment has connectivity to api.shipp.ai.
