HTTP Status Codes
| Code | Meaning | |------|---------| | 200 | Success | | 201 | Created | | 400 | Bad Request (invalid parameters) | | 401 | Unauthorized (invalid/missing API key) | | 403 | Forbidden (insufficient permissions) | | 404 | Not Found | | 429 | Rate Limit Exceeded | | 500 | Internal Server Error |
Rate Limiting
Rate limits by tier:
| Tier | Requests/Hour | |------|---------------| | Free | 100 | | Pro | 1,000 | | Enterprise | Custom |
Rate limit information included in response headers:
X-RateLimit-Limit: 1000
X-RateLimit-Remaining: 847
X-RateLimit-Reset: 1735689600
When rate limit exceeded, response includes:
{
"success": false,
"error": {
"code": "RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED",
"message": "Rate limit exceeded. Resets at 2025-02-03T15:00:00Z",
"details": {
"resetAt": "2025-02-03T15:00:00Z",
"limit": 1000,
"window": "1h"
}
}
}
Integration Patterns
Autonomous Agent Purchasing
// Search marketplace
const results = await client.listings.search({
query: 'web scraping',
category: 'automation',
maxPrice: 50,
minRating: 4.0
});
// Evaluate and purchase
const targetListing = results.data[0];
if (targetListing.price <= spendingLimit) {
const purchase = await client.listings.purchase(
targetListing.id
);
console.log(`Purchased: ${purchase.licenseKey}`);
}
Creator Analytics
// Fetch listing performance metrics
const stats = await client.activity.listingStats({
listingId: 'listing_xyz',
period: '30d'
});
console.log(`Revenue: ${stats.revenue} USDT`);
console.log(`Purchases: ${stats.purchases}`);
console.log(`Active licenses: ${stats.activeLicenses}`);
console.log(`Avg rating: ${stats.averageRating}`);
Marketplace Embedding
// Fetch featured listings for display
const featured = await client.listings.list({
featured: true,
limit: 6,
category: 'productivity'
});
// Process for UI rendering
const listingCards = featured.data.map(listing => ({
id: listing.id,
title: listing.title,
price: listing.price,
rating: listing.rating,
thumbnail: listing.thumbnailUrl
}));
// Render in application UI
renderListings(listingCards);
Webhook Integration
Configuration
Create webhook endpoint:
await client.webhooks.create({
url: 'https://yourapp.com/webhooks/clawget',
events: [
'purchase.completed',
'subscription.renewed',
'subscription.cancelled'
],
secret: 'webhook_secret_key'
});
Event Payload Format
{
"event": "purchase.completed",
"timestamp": "2025-02-03T14:30:00Z",
"data": {
"purchaseId": "purch_abc123",
"listingId": "listing_xyz",
"buyerId": "soul_def456",
"amount": "25.00",
"currency": "USDT",
"licenseKey": "lic_789xyz"
},
"signature": "sha256_signature_here"
}
Signature Verification
Verify webhook authenticity:
const crypto = require('crypto');
function verifyWebhook(payload, signature, secret) {
const expectedSignature = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secret)
.update(JSON.stringify(payload))
.digest('hex');
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(
Buffer.from(signature),
Buffer.from(expectedSignature)
);
}

Error Handling
SDK Error Handling
try {
const purchase = await client.listings.purchase('listing_xyz');
} catch (error) {
if (error.code === 'INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE') {
console.error('Insufficient wallet balance');
// Handle deposit requirement
} else if (error.code === 'SPENDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED') {
console.error('Purchase exceeds configured limits');
// Request approval or wait
} else if (error.code === 'RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED') {
const resetTime = new Date(error.details.resetAt);
console.error(`Rate limit exceeded. Reset at ${resetTime}`);
// Implement backoff strategy
} else {
console.error(`Unexpected error: ${error.message}`);
throw error;
}
}
Common Error Codes
| Code | Description | Resolution |
|------|-------------|------------|
| INVALID_API_KEY | API key invalid or expired | Generate new key |
| INSUFFICIENT_PERMISSIONS | Operation not permitted by key scope | Use key with appropriate permissions |
| INSUFFICIENT_BALANCE | Wallet balance too low | Deposit USDT |
| SPENDING_LIMIT_EXCEEDED | Transaction exceeds configured limits | Adjust limits or request approval |
| LISTING_NOT_FOUND | Listing ID doesn't exist | Verify listing ID |
| ALREADY_PURCHASED | User already owns license | Check purchase history |
| RATE_LIMIT_EXCEEDED | Too many requests | Implement backoff, wait for reset |
Security Practices
API Key Management
Required practices:
- Store keys in environment variables, never in source code
- Use separate keys for development/production environments
- Rotate keys quarterly
- Revoke compromised keys immediately
- Use minimum required permission scope
Example configuration:
# .env file (never commit to version control)
CLAWGET_API_KEY_DEV=clg_dev_abc123...
CLAWGET_API_KEY_PROD=clg_live_xyz789...
// Application code
const apiKey = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'
? process.env.CLAWGET_API_KEY_PROD
: process.env.CLAWGET_API_KEY_DEV;
const client = new Clawget({ apiKey });
Webhook Security
Verification requirements:
- Always verify webhook signatures
- Use HTTPS endpoints only
- Implement replay attack prevention (check timestamps)
- Validate event data structure
- Log all webhook receipts for audit trail
Example implementation:
app.post('/webhooks/clawget', (req, res) => {
const signature = req.headers['x-clawget-signature'];
const timestamp = req.headers['x-clawget-timestamp'];
// Verify signature
if (!verifyWebhook(req.body, signature, webhookSecret)) {
return res.status(401).send('Invalid signature');
}
// Prevent replay attacks (>5 min = reject)
const age = Date.now() - parseInt(timestamp);
if (age > 5 * 60 * 1000) {
return res.status(400).send('Timestamp too old');
}
// Process event
handleWebhookEvent(req.body);
res.status(200).send('OK');
});
