What it does

Apollo Hello World is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create a minimal working Apollo.io example. Use when starting a new Apollo integration, testing your setup, or learning basic Apollo API patterns. Trigger with phrases like "apollo hello world", "apollo example", "apollo quick start", "simple apollo code", "test apollo api".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering GraphQL. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Starting a new Apollo integration
  • Testing your setup
  • Learning basic Apollo API patterns
  • With phrases like apollo hello world

Example prompts

  • “apollo hello world”
  • “apollo example”
  • “apollo quick start”
  • “/apollo-hello-world”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in APOLLO_API_KEY
  • A credential in API_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Search for People (No Credits Consumed)
  2. Enrich a Single Person (Consumes 1 Credit)
  3. Enrich an Organization (Consumes 1 Credit)
  4. Python Equivalent

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript and python).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • api.apollo.io
    • linkedin.com

    Also links to:

    • docs.apollo.io

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • APOLLO_API_KEY
    • API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Apollo Hello World loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 302 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~74
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Apollo Hello World

Overview

Minimal working example demonstrating the three core Apollo.io API operations: people search, person enrichment, and organization enrichment. Uses the correct x-api-key header and api.apollo.io/api/v1/ base URL.

Prerequisites

  • Completed apollo-install-auth setup
  • Valid API key configured in APOLLO_API_KEY environment variable

Instructions

Step 1: Search for People (No Credits Consumed)

The People API Search endpoint finds contacts in Apollo's 275M+ database. This endpoint is free — it does not consume enrichment credits, but it also does not return emails or phone numbers.

typescript
// hello-apollo.ts
import axios from 'axios';

const client = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1',
  headers: {
    'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    'x-api-key': process.env.APOLLO_API_KEY!,
  },
});

// People Search — POST /mixed_people/api_search
async function searchPeople() {
  const { data } = await client.post('/mixed_people/api_search', {
    q_organization_domains_list: ['apollo.io'],
    person_titles: ['engineer'],
    person_seniorities: ['senior', 'manager'],
    page: 1,
    per_page: 10,
  });

  console.log(`Found ${data.pagination.total_entries} contacts`);
  data.people.forEach((person: any) => {
    console.log(`  ${person.name} — ${person.title} at ${person.organization?.name}`);
  });
  return data;
}

searchPeople().catch(console.error);
Step 2: Enrich a Single Person (Consumes 1 Credit)

The People Enrichment endpoint returns full contact details including email and phone.

typescript
// Enrich by email, LinkedIn URL, or name+domain combo
async function enrichPerson() {
  const { data } = await client.post('/people/match', {
    email: 'tim@apollo.io',
    // Alternative identifiers:
    // linkedin_url: 'https://www.linkedin.com/in/...',
    // first_name: 'Tim', last_name: 'Zheng', organization_domain: 'apollo.io',
    reveal_personal_emails: false,
    reveal_phone_number: false,
  });

  if (!data.person) {
    console.log('No match found');
    return;
  }

  const p = data.person;
  console.log(`Name:     ${p.name}`);
  console.log(`Title:    ${p.title}`);
  console.log(`Email:    ${p.email}`);
  console.log(`Company:  ${p.organization?.name}`);
  console.log(`LinkedIn: ${p.linkedin_url}`);
}
Step 3: Enrich an Organization (Consumes 1 Credit)
typescript
// Organization Enrichment — GET /organizations/enrich
async function enrichOrg() {
  const { data } = await client.get('/organizations/enrich', {
    params: { domain: 'apollo.io' },
  });

  const org = data.organization;
  if (!org) { console.log('No org found'); return; }

  console.log(`Company:    ${org.name}`);
  console.log(`Industry:   ${org.industry}`);
  console.log(`Employees:  ${org.estimated_num_employees}`);
  console.log(`Revenue:    ${org.annual_revenue_printed}`);
  console.log(`HQ:         ${org.city}, ${org.state}, ${org.country}`);
  console.log(`Tech Stack: ${org.current_technologies?.slice(0, 5).map((t: any) => t.name).join(', ')}`);
}
Step 4: Python Equivalent
python
import os, requests

API_KEY = os.environ['APOLLO_API_KEY']
BASE = 'https://api.apollo.io/api/v1'
HEADERS = {'Content-Type': 'application/json', 'x-api-key': API_KEY}

# People search (free)
resp = requests.post(f'{BASE}/mixed_people/api_search', headers=HEADERS, json={
    'q_organization_domains_list': ['apollo.io'],
    'person_titles': ['engineer'],
    'page': 1, 'per_page': 5,
})
for p in resp.json().get('people', []):
    print(f"  {p['name']} — {p.get('title', 'N/A')}")

# Org enrichment (1 credit)
resp = requests.get(f'{BASE}/organizations/enrich',
    headers=HEADERS, params={'domain': 'apollo.io'})
org = resp.json().get('organization', {})
print(f"Company: {org.get('name')} ({org.get('estimated_num_employees')} employees)")

Output

  • People search results (name, title, company — no emails)
  • Enriched person with email, phone, LinkedIn URL
  • Enriched organization with industry, headcount, revenue, tech stack

Examples

Start with the free people search against an organization you are authorized to research and confirm the credentials, response shape, and pagination without requesting contact details. For the first credit-consuming check, use a public organization domain and set a one-credit test budget; retain only the returned company-level fields needed to verify the integration. Do not use a real person’s email as a tutorial fixture or print a response containing personal contact data. If authentication fails, the response is empty, or the budget guard is unavailable, stop before enrichment and correct the configuration.
