RenderKit Skill
Render structured data as beautiful hosted web pages, and create hosted forms for data collection.
Setup
- Sign up at https://renderkit.live to get your API key
- Set your environment variable:
export RENDERKIT_API_KEY="your-api-key"
Usage
All commands use curl to hit the RenderKit API. Pick the right endpoint:
- Read-only pages (results, summaries, comparisons, itineraries) →
POST /v1/render - Data collection (forms, surveys, RSVPs, signups, feedback) →
POST /v1/forms
Create a page
curl -s -X POST https://renderkit.live/v1/render \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"template": "freeform",
"context": "brief description of what this content is",
"data": {
"title": "Page Title",
"content": "your data here — markdown, structured objects, anything"
}
}'
Returns url, slug, and render_id. Templates: freeform (AI picks layout) or travel_itinerary.
Update a page
curl -s -X PATCH https://renderkit.live/v1/render/{render_id} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"strategy": "merge",
"context": "updated description",
"data": { "content": "new or additional data" }
}'
Strategies: merge (add sections) or replace (full rewrite). The URL stays the same.
Check page status
curl -s https://renderkit.live/v1/render/{render_id}/status \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY"
Create a form
curl -s -X POST https://renderkit.live/v1/forms \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"title": "Event RSVP",
"prompt": "Create an RSVP form for a dinner party. Ask for name, email, dietary restrictions, and plus-one.",
"multi_response": true,
"expires_in": 604800
}'
Returns a url to share with respondents. You can also provide explicit fields instead of a prompt.
Get form responses
curl -s https://renderkit.live/v1/forms/{form_id}/responses \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY"
Close a form
curl -s -X DELETE https://renderkit.live/v1/forms/{form_id} \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $RENDERKIT_API_KEY"
Notes
- Never use
/v1/renderto fake a form — it produces a static page that cannot collect responses - Include URLs inline in your data — they are automatically enriched with images, ratings, and metadata
- Optionally pass a theme:
"theme": { "mode": "dark", "palette": ["#color1", "#color2"] } - Updates (PATCH) are free and don't count toward your quota
- If you rendered a page in this conversation, prefer PATCH over POST for follow-up changes
