What authentication methods does this skill support?

It provides implementation patterns for API Key authentication, Service Account Tokens (Bearer), and Personal Access Tokens across various automation scopes.

Which programming languages are covered in the examples?

The skill provides production-grade implementation examples primarily in Python and Node.js, focusing on reusable client patterns.

How does this skill handle Harness API rate limits?

It provides strategies for managing the 1000 requests/min read limit and 300 requests/min write limit using exponential backoff, jitter, and header parsing.

Does this help with Infrastructure as Code?

Yes, it covers the IaCM API and Template API for programmatically managing workspaces, infrastructure configurations, and reusable step templates.

Can I use this skill to automate pipeline execution?

Yes, it includes specific documentation and code examples for interacting with the Pipeline API to create, update, monitor, and trigger executions.

Deployment & DevOps

Simplifies integration with the Harness Platform API by providing expert guidance on authentication, rate limiting, and endpoint operations.

About

The Harness API Operations skill serves as a comprehensive technical companion for developers building automation around the Harness Platform. It offers prescriptive patterns for secure authentication using API keys or service account tokens, implements robust rate-limiting strategies with exponential backoff, and provides detailed reference for core endpoints like Pipelines, Templates, and Infrastructure as Code Management (IaCM). This skill is essential for anyone looking to build production-grade CI/CD automations, custom integrations, or programmatic infrastructure templates while adhering to Harness platform best practices and error-handling standards.
