TickerAPI Skill

TickerAPI provides pre-computed, categorical market intelligence for US stocks, crypto, and ETFs — built for LLMs and AI agents.

First Run Setup

If the TICKERAPI_KEY environment variable is not set, walk the user through account setup before doing anything else:

1. Ask for their email address and let them know: "This will sign you into your existing TickerAPI account, or create a new one if you don't have one yet."
2. Call POST https://api.tickerapi.ai/auth with { "email": "<their email>" }.
3. Tell them to check their inbox for a 6-digit code.
4. Once they provide the code, call POST https://api.tickerapi.ai/auth/verify with { "email": "<their email>", "code": "<their code>" }.
5. The response contains an apiKey field for new accounts. Show the user their key and ask: "I've got your API key — would you like me to save it?" If they confirm, OpenClaw persists it automatically. If no apiKey in the response (existing account), direct them to https://tickerapi.ai/dashboard to retrieve their key.

Once authenticated, continue through onboarding in order:

Step 1 — Watchlist Ask: "What tickers would you like to add to your watchlist? You can give me a list of stock symbols, crypto (e.g. BTCUSD), or ETFs." After they provide tickers, call GET /v1/quote for each one to confirm they're valid and give a brief one-line summary of each.
