Can I use this for self-hosted Hudu instances?

Absolutely. This skill supports both Hudu Cloud and self-hosted instances; you simply need to adjust the HUDU_BASE_URL environment variable to match your domain.

What is the Hudu API rate limit?

Hudu enforces a rate limit of 300 requests per minute. This skill includes retry logic patterns using exponential backoff and jitter to gracefully handle HTTP 429 responses.

Are resource names different between the Hudu UI and API?

Yes, several resources use different names. For example, 'Passwords' in the UI are 'asset_passwords' in the API, and 'Processes' are called 'procedures'.

Why do my API calls return a 403 Forbidden error?

This usually indicates the API key lacks specific permissions. Hudu API keys have granular controls for password access, delete operations, and company scoping that must be enabled in the Admin panel.

How does Hudu handle pagination?

Hudu uses page-based pagination with a fixed limit of 25 results per page. You can detect the end of a collection when a request returns fewer than 25 items.

API Development

Provides comprehensive technical guidance and implementation patterns for integrating with the Hudu REST API safely and efficiently.

This skill equips developers and MSP automation engineers with the essential patterns needed to build robust integrations with the Hudu documentation platform. It simplifies the complexities of the Hudu API by providing ready-to-use logic for header-based authentication, mapping UI labels to correct API endpoints (like mapping 'Processes' to 'procedures'), and implementing efficient page-based pagination. Additionally, it provides critical infrastructure for handling Hudu's 300 requests-per-minute rate limit and error handling strategies, ensuring your automation scripts remain stable and performant whether you are using Hudu Cloud or a self-hosted instance.
