Lark CLI Skill: OpenAPI Explorer — Discover Raw APIs

What it is

The OpenAPI Explorer skill for Lark CLI gives developers access to native Lark/Feishu OpenAPIs from official documentation. It lets you discover and call raw API endpoints that are not yet wrapped by the Lark CLI tool. This fills the gap when the CLI does not cover a specific Lark platform capability.

Developers building integrations with Lark/Feishu, teams automating workflows on the Lark platform, and engineers who need access to newer APIs before they get CLI wrappers use this skill to bridge the gap between the CLI and the full API surface.

How it saves time or tokens

The Lark platform has hundreds of API endpoints covering messaging, calendar, documents, approval, and more. The CLI wraps only a subset. Without this skill, accessing unwrapped APIs requires reading documentation, constructing HTTP requests manually, and handling authentication. This skill lets the AI agent discover endpoints, understand parameters, and generate correct API calls automatically.

How to use

1. Install the Lark CLI:

npm install -g @larksuite/cli

1. Install the skill:

npx skills add larksuite/cli -y -g

1. Configure authentication:

lark-cli config init
lark-cli auth login --recommend

1. Explore APIs through the CLI agent:

> Find the API for creating a Lark document
> Call the messaging API to send a card to a group chat
> List all available approval endpoints

Example

# Install and configure
npm install -g @larksuite/cli
npx skills add larksuite/cli -y -g
lark-cli config init
lark-cli auth login --recommend

# In an AI agent session:
> Explore the Lark Base (Bitable) API endpoints
> Call the API to list all tables in a specific Bitable app
> Find the endpoint for updating approval instance status

# The skill discovers endpoints from official docs
# and generates correct authenticated API calls

Common pitfalls

• Authentication must be configured before making API calls. Run lark-cli auth login to set up your app credentials and obtain access tokens.
• Some APIs require specific application permissions. Check the permission requirements in the Lark Open Platform documentation before calling an endpoint.
• Rate limits apply to all Lark APIs regardless of how you call them. The skill does not bypass platform rate limits.
