SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Calling third-party APIs normally requires obtaining API keys, managing credentials, and setting up billing accounts. This Skill removes that friction by proxying requests through Replit-managed passthrough billing, so authorization is handled automatically. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Managed API Access: Call external APIs through the externalApi__<connector_name> callback in code_execution without handling API keys. - Brave Image Search: Search real web image results via the Brave /res/v1/images/search endpoint with query parameters. - Media Rendering Workflow: Download image results to attached_assets/ and present them in chat using presentAsset. - Use Case: A user asks for real-world reference images of mid-century furniture. You call externalApi__brave with a search query, download the top results, and present them directly in the conversation. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to search the web for real images on a topic and display the top results in chat.

Frequently Asked Questions about external_apis

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I search for web images using the Brave API?▼

Call externalApi__brave in code_execution with path '/res/v1/images/search', method 'GET', and a query object containing your search term and result count. Image URLs are found at body.results[i].properties.url.

How do I call external APIs without managing API keys?▼

Use the externalApi__<connector_name> callback, which proxies requests through OpenInt with Replit-managed passthrough billing. Authorization is handled automatically, so you must not set an Authorization header manually.

Do I need an Authorization header for Brave image search requests?▼

No, authorization is managed automatically by Replit passthrough billing. Passing your own Authorization header is explicitly discouraged since credentials are injected by the proxy layer.

How do I display Brave image search results in chat?▼

Download up to four image URLs to the attached_assets/brave_images/ directory using fetch and fs.writeFile, then call presentAsset for each saved file with awaitUserInput set to false.

What are the limitations of the Brave connector?▼

Only the GET /res/v1/images/search operation is allowed through the Brave connector. Other Brave API endpoints and HTTP methods are not exposed, and all requests must go through the managed proxy.
