The Problem

Apollo.io has no official SDK. The REST API uses non-obvious conventions — x-api-key headers (not query params), separate search endpoints that changed names (/mixed_people/api_search), a master vs standard key distinction, and a credit model where search is free but enrichment costs money. Teams waste days learning these details.

The Solution

24 skills covering the full Apollo integration lifecycle with correct endpoints, real code, and production patterns. Every skill uses the actual API (https://api.apollo.io/api/v1/), real authentication (x-api-key header), and real response shapes from Apollo's documentation.

| What | Detail | |------|--------| | Who | Developers integrating Apollo.io into sales tools, CRMs, and data pipelines | | What | 24 Claude Code skills: 12 standard, 6 pro, 6 flagship | | Where | Any Node.js/TypeScript or Python project using Apollo's REST API | | When | During development, CI/CD setup, production deployment, or incident response | | Why | Eliminate trial-and-error with Apollo's undocumented patterns |

| Stack | | |-------|---| | API | Apollo.io REST API v1 (api.apollo.io/api/v1) | | Auth | x-api-key header (master + standard key types) | | Languages | TypeScript, Python | | Testing | Vitest + MSW mocks, sandbox tokens | | Infra | GCP Cloud Run, Vercel, Kubernetes |

Key Differentiators

• Correct endpoints: Uses /mixed_people/api_search (not the deprecated /people/search), /people/bulk_match, /emailer_campaigns/search
• Credit-aware: Every skill notes which operations cost credits and which are free
• Master vs standard keys: Skills flag which endpoints require master API keys
• Real error handling: Covers the actual HTTP codes Apollo returns (401 for bad key, 403 for wrong key type, 429 with rate limit details)
