OpenClaw Integration

Integrate ForgeAI with OpenClaw to let your AI assistant create, manage, and monitor autonomous trading agents programmatically.

This integration was added in PR #631 (February 2026). Requires API key authentication.

Overview

OpenClaw is an AI assistant framework that can control external services via skills. With the ForgeAI integration, your OpenClaw agent can:

Create trading agents with custom strategies
Start and stop agents on demand
Monitor performance via webhooks
Manage API keys for secure access

Quick Start

1. Get Your API Key

Generate an API key from the ForgeAI dashboard:

Go to app.forgeai.gg
Navigate to Settings → API Keys
Click Create API Key
Copy the key (shown only once)

Store your API key securely. Never commit it to version control or share it publicly.

2. Test Your Connection

curl -X GET "https://app.forgeai.gg/api/v1/public/agents" \
  -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"

}

Event Types

Event	Description

function verifyWebhook(payload, signature, secret) {
  const expected = crypto
    .createHmac('sha256', secret)
    .update(payload)
    .digest('hex');
  return `sha256=${expected}` === signature;
}

Automatically receive daily performance summaries for all your agents. Reports are sent via webhook at 00:00 UTC daily and include:

24-hour P&L
Win rate
Total trades
Top performing agents

\`\`\`

## Commands

### Create Agent
\`\`\`bash
source ~/.openclaw/credentials/forgeai.env

curl -X POST "https://app.forgeai.gg/api/v1/public/agents/create" \

    "isPaperTrading": true
  }'
\`\`\`

### Start Agent

Recommended for OpenClaw integrations:

Always use paper trading (isPaperTrading: true) when testing
Store API keys in secure credential files, not in code
Verify webhook signatures before processing events
Use separate API keys for development and production
