What is Open Claw?

Open Claw is a gateway-based AI agent platform that lets you chat with AI through a browser-based Control UI, Discord, Slack, and other messaging channels. It supports extensible skills — packaged instructions and tools that teach agents how to perform specific tasks. ClawHub is Open Claw’s public skill registry where you can discover, install, and share skills with the community. The official RawUGC skill is the recommended way to interact with the RawUGC API through Open Claw. Instead of writing code or crafting API calls manually, you tell your agent what you want and the skill handles the rest.

Why use the skill instead of raw API calls?

Raw APIOpen Claw Skill
SetupWrite auth headers, base URLs, polling logicOne install + API key
Video generationBuild request payloads, handle async polling”Generate a video of a sunset beach”
Error handlingParse RFC 7807 errors, retry logicAutomatic with plain-English feedback
The skill is ideal for prototyping, content creation workflows, and anyone who wants to generate videos without writing integration code.

​
Setup

​
1. Get your RawUGC API key

Go to Account Settings and create a new API key. Copy the secret — it’s only shown once.

​
2. Install the RawUGC skill

Install the skill from ClawHub: 
clawhub install tfcbot/ai-ugc
This downloads the skill into your workspace’s ./skills directory.

​
3. Configure your API key

Add your API key to Open Claw’s skill configuration in ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json: 
{
  "skills": {
    "entries": {
      "rawugc-api": {
        "enabled": true,
        "env": {
          "RAWUGC_API_KEY": "sk_your_key_here"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
Alternatively, export the environment variable in your shell profile (~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc): 
export RAWUGC_API_KEY=sk_your_key_here
Start a new Open Claw session for the skill to load.

​
Available commands

Once installed, you get three slash commands:

​
/rawugc:generate-video

Generate AI videos using any supported model. The agent will ask for your concept, help you pick the right model, confirm credit cost, and poll for completion automatically. 
You: /rawugc:generate-video a golden retriever running through a field of sunflowers

Agent: I'll generate that with Sora 2 (6 credits). Submitting now...
       Task ID: task_abc123 — polling for completion.
       Done! Here's your video: https://storage.rawugc.com/videos/abc123.mp4
Supported models:

​
/rawugc:check-video

Check the status of a generation task. Pass a task ID directly or let the agent show your recent pending tasks. 
You: /rawugc:check-video task_abc123

Agent: Completed — Video URL: https://storage.rawugc.com/videos/abc123.mp4

​
/rawugc:my-videos

List your recent video generations in a table with status, model, prompt, and result URLs.

​
Example workflows

​
Generate a batch of product videos

You: I need 3 product showcase videos for my e-commerce store.
     1. A skincare serum bottle rotating on a marble surface
     2. A pair of sneakers with dynamic lighting
     3. A watch with cinematic close-ups

Agent: I'll generate all 3 with Veo 3 Fast (6 credits each, 18 total).
       Submitting...

​
Keeping the skill updated

Update the RawUGC skill (and all other installed skills) with: 
clawhub update --all

​
When to use the API directly

The Open Claw skill covers the most common workflows, but you may want the REST API directly when:
  • Building a production integration — embed video generation in your own app or SaaS
  • Automating at scale — programmatic batch generation with custom retry logic
  • Webhook consumers — receiving completion callbacks in your own backend
  • Custom pipelines — chaining video generation with other services
See the API Reference and Code Examples for direct integration guides.

​
Troubleshooting

​
”Authentication failed”

Make sure RAWUGC_API_KEY is configured. Check your Open Claw config: 
cat ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json
Or verify the environment variable is set: 
echo $RAWUGC_API_KEY
If empty, add it to your config or shell profile and start a new session.

​
”Insufficient credits”

Purchase more credits at rawugc.com/billing.

​
”Rate limit exceeded”

API keys are limited to 10 requests per minute. The skill handles polling intervals automatically, but if you’re running many concurrent generations, space them out.

​
Skill not loading

Skills are snapshotted when a session starts. If you just installed the skill, start a new Open Claw session for it to appear. Verify installation: 
clawhub search rawugc
Or check the skill page on ClawHub: clawhub.ai/tfcbot/ai-ugc
