Configure AppFolio Stack API authentication with OAuth 2.0. An agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace.

  • Works in 3 steps: Obtain API Credentials → Create API Client → Verify Connection

What it does

Appfolio Install Auth is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Configure AppFolio Stack API authentication with OAuth 2.0. Use when setting up property management API access, registering as an AppFolio Stack partner, or configuring client credentials for API calls. Trigger: "install appfolio", "setup appfolio", "appfolio auth", "appfolio API key".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Real estate. 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

  • Setting up property management API access
  • Registering as an AppFolio Stack partner
  • Configuring client credentials for API calls

Example prompts

  • “install appfolio”
  • “setup appfolio”
  • “appfolio auth”
  • “/appfolio-install-auth”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • Node.js
  • A credential in APPFOLIO_CLIENT_SECRET
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(npm:*), Bash(curl:*), Grep

Workflow steps

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

  1. Obtain API Credentials
  2. Create API Client
  3. Verify Connection

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
    • Bash(npm:*)
    • Bash(curl:*)
    • Grep

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • appfolio.com
    • engineering.appfolio.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • APPFOLIO_CLIENT_SECRET

    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

Appfolio Install Auth loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 77 tokens; SKILL.md has 264 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~77
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:52
    # .env remains ignored; populate it only through an approved local secret flow.

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.

AppFolio Install & Auth

Overview

Configure AppFolio Stack API authentication. AppFolio uses HTTP Basic Auth with a client ID and client secret, provided through their Stack partner program. No public npm SDK exists — use direct REST API calls.

Prerequisites

  • AppFolio Stack partner account (appfolio.com/stack)
  • Client ID and Client Secret from AppFolio
  • Node.js 18+ or Python 3.10+

Instructions

Step 1: Obtain API Credentials
bash
# AppFolio Stack API credentials come from the partner program
# 1. Apply at appfolio.com/stack/become-a-partner
# 2. Complete integration review
# 3. Receive the provider-issued base URL and credential delivery instructions.
# Store the values in the approved secret manager. Commit only this non-secret
# template if local development requires one:
cat > .env.example << 'ENVFILE'
APPFOLIO_CLIENT_ID=
APPFOLIO_CLIENT_SECRET=
APPFOLIO_BASE_URL=
ENVFILE

# .env remains ignored; populate it only through an approved local secret flow.
Step 2: Create API Client
typescript
// src/appfolio-client.ts
import axios, { AxiosInstance } from 'axios';

class AppFolioClient {
  private api: AxiosInstance;

  constructor() {
    this.api = axios.create({
      baseURL: process.env.APPFOLIO_BASE_URL,
      auth: {
        username: process.env.APPFOLIO_CLIENT_ID!,
        password: process.env.APPFOLIO_CLIENT_SECRET!,
      },
      headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
      timeout: 30000,
    });
  }

  async verifyConnection(): Promise<boolean> {
    try {
      const response = await this.api.get('/properties');
      console.log(`Connected! Found ${response.data.length} properties`);
      return true;
    } catch (error: any) {
      console.error(`Connection failed: ${error.response?.status} ${error.message}`);
      return false;
    }
  }

  get http(): AxiosInstance { return this.api; }
}

export { AppFolioClient };
Step 3: Verify Connection
bash
# Quick, redacted diagnostic without putting Basic Auth in argv.
NETRC_FILE="$(mktemp)"
trap 'rm -f "$NETRC_FILE"' EXIT
chmod 600 "$NETRC_FILE"
APPFOLIO_HOST="${APPFOLIO_BASE_URL#https://}"
APPFOLIO_HOST="${APPFOLIO_HOST%%/*}"
printf 'machine %s login %s password %s\n' "$APPFOLIO_HOST" \
  "$APPFOLIO_CLIENT_ID" "$APPFOLIO_CLIENT_SECRET" > "$NETRC_FILE"
curl -s -o /dev/null -w '%{http_code}\n' --netrc-file "$NETRC_FILE" \
  "${APPFOLIO_BASE_URL}/properties"

API Endpoints

Leases/api/v1/leasesGET, POST
Bills/api/v1/billsGET, POST
Vendors/api/v1/vendorsGET
Owners/api/v1/ownersGET
Reports/api/v1/reportsGET

Output

  • Provider-issued credentials injected through the approved secret boundary
  • TypeScript REST client with Basic Auth
  • Redacted connectivity result for the approved safe-read endpoint

Examples

For a first authentication rehearsal, inject a sandbox credential and the provider-issued base URL through the local secret mechanism, then make one read-only request to an approved synthetic property page. Record only the status code and client configuration verdict; do not print a property payload, client ID, secret, or full host/path in shared logs. If the contract, base URL, secret binding, or status result is unverified, stop before any write workflow and have the credential owner correct the configuration.

Error Handling
