Beehiiv Agent Skill

Beehiiv

Purpose

Read and write the user's beehiiv newsletters: list publications, list subscribers, list posts with stats, add subscribers. Use when the user mentions beehiiv or their newsletter.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/beehiiv.py:

bin/beehiiv.py auth                                     # verify the API key
bin/beehiiv.py publications                             # list publications
bin/beehiiv.py subscriptions --pub pub_abc123 --limit 25  # list subscribers
bin/beehiiv.py posts --pub pub_abc123 --limit 25        # list posts with stats
bin/beehiiv.py subscribe --pub pub_abc123 --email "[email protected]"  # add a subscriber

Most endpoints need a publication ID (pub_...); use publications to resolve it first.

Auth

• Provider id: beehiiv (credential is collected as custom.beehiiv)
• Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); created in beehiiv under Settings > Workspace Settings > API (requires Owner or Admin role, Scale plan or higher)
• Allowed hosts: api.beehiiv.com
• Status check: bin/beehiiv.py auth (must return "ok": true)

Operating Rules

• subscribe is a write: confirm the email address and publication with the user before adding, unless standing permission exists.
• Reading (publications, subscriptions, posts) needs no confirmation.
• beehiiv rate-limits to 180 requests per minute per organization; back off on 429s.
• Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/beehiiv.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.
