Showing Claude Code. One command installs this skill into any of the agents below.

Installs under a different name. Its SKILL.md names it use-fetch, not the name it is listed under, so the command below uses that name.
  1. 1

    Run this in your project

    terminal
    $ npx skills add lchrennew/es-fetch-api --skill use-fetch -a claude-code

  2. Uses the open-source skills CLI and needs Node.js. Add -g to install it for your user instead of this project.

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned lchrennew/es-fetch-api at ccb8a27f72.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides access to the Fetch API, a modern interface for making HTTP requests. It allows AI agents to retrieve resources from URLs, handle responses (including JSON parsing), and generally interact with web services programmatically. The skill enables fetching data from APIs, downloading files, or interacting with web-based tools.

When to use it

  • Data Retrieval: An agent needs to get current weather information for a specific location by querying an API.
  • File Downloads: An agent is tasked with downloading a PDF report from a URL.
  • Web Scraping (Limited): While not its primary purpose, the skill can be used to retrieve HTML content from websites, which could then be parsed further.
  • API Interaction: An agent needs to interact with a third-party service that exposes an API endpoint.

Key capabilities

  • fetch: The core function for making HTTP requests.
  • JSON parsing of responses: Automatically parses JSON responses from APIs.
  • Error handling: Provides mechanisms for dealing with failed requests.
  • URL construction: Allows building URLs dynamically.

Example prompts

  • "Fetch the data from https://api.example.com/data and parse the JSON response."
  • "Download the file from https://www.example.com/report.pdf."
  • “Get me the current weather for London using this API: https://weatherapi.com/london”

Tips & gotchas

  • The agent needs to understand URL syntax and how APIs work to effectively use this skill.
  • Be mindful of rate limits when fetching data from external APIs.
