hummingbot-heartbeat

An OpenClaw cron skill that runs every hour and delivers a formatted Hummingbot status report to your connected chat channel (Telegram, Discord, etc.). Covers API health, Gateway container, active bots/controllers, executors, and portfolio balances.

Installation

clawhub install hummingbot-heartbeat

Or manually clone into your skills directory.

Quick Start

1. Set up the OpenClaw cron job

Ask your OpenClaw agent:

"Set up the hummingbot-heartbeat cron job"

The agent will resolve the skill path and register it with openclaw cron. Or do it manually:

# Replace <SKILL_PATH> with the actual installed path
openclaw cron add \
  --name "hummingbot-heartbeat" \
  --description "Hourly Hummingbot status check" \
  --every 1h \
  --announce \
  --channel telegram \
  --message "Run this and send output verbatim: python3 <SKILL_PATH>/scripts/bot_status.py"

2. Run manually (debug)

python3 scripts/bot_status.py
python3 scripts/bot_status.py --json

Configuration

Set via environment variables or a .env file in the skill directory:

# .env (optional — defaults shown)
HUMMINGBOT_API_URL=http://localhost:8000
API_USER=admin
API_PASS=admin
VariableDefaultDescription
