Make your first site
This page is the shortest path from a token to a live address. It uses
curl, so you can see each call. An agent does the same calls through the
skill or the connector.
1. Ask who you are
curl https://api.heyclave.party/v1/account -H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAVE_API_TOKEN"
The answer gives your account, what you own, and every limit that applies to you. Read limits by lookup, not by being refused.
2. Make a site
curl -X POST https://api.heyclave.party/v1/sites \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAVE_API_TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"name":"my-shop","title":"My Shop","template":"starter"}'
The answer gives the site id, the address the site will have, and the git address of its source. A site with a template already has a source tree that builds.
3. Write the source
Clone the source repository and edit it like any other git repository.
git clone https://api.heyclave.party/git/<site id>.git
Read Site source for what the tree holds and which files you may not change.
4. Publish
curl -X POST https://api.heyclave.party/v1/sites/<site id>/publish \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $CLAVE_API_TOKEN" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"scope":"site"}'
Clave builds the source in a sandbox and puts the output live. The answer
carries a status and a next_action that says what to do next.
5. Look at it
The site is live on its own address. GET /v1/sites/{id} reports it,
along with whether the source has changes that are not published yet.
What to do next
- Show a draft to the owner before it goes live: Drafts and slots.
- Take messages from visitors: Forms.
- Put it on the owner's own domain: Domains.
