Documenting backend architecture patterns, API design, database optimization, caching, and error-handling best practices tailored for scalable Node.js, Express, and Next.js API routes.

An expert developer specializing in secure backend coding practices, vulnerability mitigation, and robust API design. Proficient in preventing common attacks such as SQL injection, XSS, and CSRF. Covers comprehensive areas including input validation, authentication mechanisms (OAuth 2.0, MFA), database security, and implementing necessary security headers (CSP, HSTS) for building secure-by-design applications. Ideal for implementing security fixes or building new, hardened backend services.

A comprehensive guide to building robust, production-ready GraphQL APIs. This skill covers schema design (SDL/code-first), implementing efficient resolvers with DataLoader for batching, handling real-time subscriptions via WebSockets, and integrating field-level authorization and complexity limiting. Supports major runtimes like Node.js and Python.

Provides deep, advanced debugging techniques for complex data enrichment failures within the Clay platform. This guide helps isolate root causes related to provider degradation, data flow errors, and API column issues when standard troubleshooting methods fail. It covers layer testing (Webhook, API), error pattern analysis, and local API replication, enabling users to diagnose deep system issues.

This guide details advanced strategies for optimizing and reducing data enrichment spending on platforms like Clay. Techniques include connecting private API keys (for significant savings), optimizing multi-step data pipelines (waterfalls), pre-filtering raw input data to prevent wasted credits, and implementing comprehensive budget monitoring. Ideal for professionals managing high-volume, cost-sensitive data pipelines.

This script automates the collection of comprehensive diagnostic evidence for troubleshooting issues on the Clay web platform. It systematically tests webhook connectivity, captures environment details (Node, Python, OS), verifies API keys, and gathers recent application logs. The resulting bundle provides all necessary data points for submitting detailed support tickets and accelerating debugging.

This comprehensive guide demonstrates how to integrate external applications with the Clay platform using webhooks. Users learn to send raw data (such as company domains or lead information) via API calls in multiple popular languages (cURL, Python, Node.js). Clay automatically processes this data through configured enrichment columns and returns enriched, structured results. This is essential for building robust data pipelines and testing webhook setups.

This guide details the complete setup process for integrating with the Clay data enrichment platform. It covers obtaining the Enterprise API key, configuring webhook endpoints for data ingestion, and connecting third-party data providers (like Apollo or Clearbit). Use this when onboarding, setting up automated data pipelines, or maximizing credit savings through programmatic integration.

This skill provides comprehensive strategies for managing API rate limits and webhooks within the Clay platform. It addresses webhook throttling, plan-level rate limits (hourly/per-second), and webhook submission exhaustion (50K limit). Use this when integrating with Clay to ensure reliable, optimized data throughput and handle 429 errors gracefully with backoff strategies.

This guide provides production-ready patterns for building robust integrations with the Clay platform. It covers interacting with Clay via webhooks (inbound data), HTTP API enrichment columns (outbound data), and the Enterprise API. Implementation examples are provided in TypeScript and Python, ensuring reliable, reusable, and scalable data pipeline construction.

This guide details security best practices for integrating with Clay. It covers securing API keys, validating webhook signatures, isolating provider credentials, and redacting sensitive PII data. Essential for maintaining compliance and data integrity in production environments.

A comprehensive guide and implementation framework for managing real-time data flow using Clay's event-driven architecture. This skill covers both inbound webhooks (POSTing data into Clay tables) and outbound HTTP API callbacks (receiving enriched data from Clay). It provides production-ready TypeScript code for setup, signature verification, and idempotent processing, enabling robust, event-driven integrations.
