Use cases
What can you build with the BetterStack API?
- Call BetterStack directly from an AI agent without writing custom auth, retry, or error-handling code.
- Get the right endpoints and call sequence for the workflow you need, instead of having the agent explore the BetterStack API surface.
- Chain BetterStack with other approved integrations in one workflow, each step validated against your policy before it runs.
- Give an agent safe read/write access to BetterStack in production, with idempotent retries if a call fails.
Setup guide
How to connect the BetterStack API to an AI agent
Four steps, no SDK, no boilerplate. Every BetterStack call routed through Swytchcode is idempotency-keyed and safe to retry.
Install the CLI
Run "npx swytchcode" to install the Swytchcode CLI—no account required to start.Pull the manifest
Run "swytchcode get better_stack" to pull the BetterStack API manifest, including its schema and available actions.Authenticate once
Provide your BetterStack API credentials a single time. Swytchcode stores and refreshes them so your agent never handles raw secrets.Call it from your agent
Run "swytchcode exec better_stack.--key value" from any agent or script. No SDK, no framework lock-in.
Copy
swytchcode get better_stack
swytchcode exec better_stack.<action> --key value
