# Apify Key Rotator
Get a rotating Apify API key from the ColdCore database. Keys are rotated by least-recently-used with balance checking.
## Usage
**Get next available API key:**
```bash
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/apify-keys/scripts/get_key.py
```
**Get key as JSON (for piping to other scripts):**
```bash
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/apify-keys/scripts/get_key.py --json
```
**Check balance on a specific key:**
```bash
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/apify-keys/scripts/get_key.py --check-balance --key "apify_api_xxxxx"
```
**List all available keys with balances:**
```bash
python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/apify-keys/scripts/get_key.py --list
```
## How It Works
1. Connects to ColdCore MySQL database
2. Queries `scrape_sm_accounts` for active Apify accounts
3. Returns the account with the oldest `last_used` timestamp (least recently used)
4. Updates `last_used` to current timestamp after selection
5. Skips accounts with zero balance
## Environment Variables
The script reads database credentials from these environment variables (falls back to defaults):
- `COLDCORE_HOST` — MySQL host
- `COLDCORE_USER` — MySQL username
- `COLDCORE_PASS` — MySQL password
- `COLDCORE_DB` — Database name (default: `lead_generator`)
## Output
**Default mode:** prints just the API key string (for easy piping)
```
apify_api_xxxxx
```
**JSON mode (`--json`):**
```json
{"id": 68, "api_key": "apify_api_xxxxx", "email": "user@example.com", "balance": 4.95}
```
## Integration with Other Skills
Other skills that need Apify access should call this script to get a key:
```bash
APIFY_KEY=$(python3 ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/apify-keys/scripts/get_key.py)
# Then use $APIFY_KEY in your API calls
```
Or in Python:
```python
import subprocess
result = subprocess.run(
["python3", os.path.expanduser("~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/apify-keys/scripts/get_key.py"), "--json"],
capture_output=True, text=True
)
key_data = json.loads(result.stdout)
api_key = key_data["api_key"]

Meeting Prep
Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.
self-improvement
Captures learnings, errors, and corrections to enable continuous improvement. Use when: (1) A command or operation fails unexpectedly, (2) User corrects Claude ('No, that's wrong...', 'Actually...'), (3) User requests a capability that doesn't exist, (4) An external API or tool fails, (5) Claude realizes its knowledge is outdated or incorrect, (6) A better approach is discovered for a recurring task. Also review learnings before major tasks.
