Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for 5pm Project Management API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The 5pm Project Management API is the integration interface for the 5pm web platform, exposing thirteen endpoints that cover authentication, projects, tasks, activity, users, and project groups. Responses are returned as JSON or XML depending on the request, and authentication uses a session-style API key obtained from the signIn endpoint. The API is intended for embedding 5pm project data into reporting tools, replacing manual exports, or wiring 5pm to external systems.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use 5pm Project Management API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Sync 5pm Projects into a Reporting Warehouse

Operations and analytics teams pull project, task, and activity records out of 5pm on a schedule and load them into a warehouse for cross-tool reporting. The /service/get/projects/getAll, /service/get/tasks/getList, and activity endpoints return paginated data suitable for incremental sync. A first working pipeline takes a developer one to two days versus building a manual CSV export workflow.

Authenticate via /service/get/authentication/signIn, then call /service/get/projects/getAll and /service/get/tasks/getList and write the records to a target warehouse table with timestamps.

Programmatic Project Setup from a CRM Win

Sales operations teams that win a deal in their CRM use the 5pm API to spin up a project and its initial tasks without manual data entry. The /service/get/projects/add and /service/get/tasks/add endpoints accept the project name, owner, and task list, so a single agent run replaces a templated setup checklist. End-to-end automation takes around a day to wire up.

Call /service/get/projects/add to create 'Acme Implementation', then call /service/get/tasks/add three times to seed kickoff, planning, and review tasks with due dates.

Project Activity Dashboards

Project managers running a portfolio across 5pm pull the activity endpoint into a dashboard to see who is moving work and where things have stalled. The activity feed surfaces change events scoped to projects and users, replacing manual status meetings with a live view. A simple dashboard build is roughly two days.

Pull the activity feed for the Q3 Roadmap project, group entries by user, and produce a summary of task updates from the last seven days.

AI Agent Project Assistant via Jentic

An AI assistant connected through Jentic can answer questions like 'what is on my plate in 5pm this week' by calling the tasks and users endpoints behind the scenes. Jentic handles the signIn flow and stores the API key in the vault, so the agent only needs to express the natural-language intent. End-to-end response time is under thirty seconds.

Search Jentic for 'list my 5pm tasks', load /service/get/tasks/getList, filter to tasks assigned to the current user, and return them sorted by due date.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

5pm session keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem) and reissued through the signIn flow when expired. Agents receive scoped access — the raw key never enters the prompt.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic with intents like 'create a 5pm project' or 'list 5pm tasks' and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema. The agent does not need to learn 5pm's path conventions.

Time to first call

Direct integration with 5pm takes about one day, mostly to handle the signIn flow and parse JSON-or-XML responses. Through Jentic the same call is reachable in under thirty minutes.

FAQs

Specific to using 5pm Project Management API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for 5pm Project Management API?

5pm publishes HTML developer documentation but does not distribute a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so AI agents and developers can call 5pm through structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the 5pm Project Management API use?

The API uses a session-style API key. Call GET /service/get/authentication/signIn with workspace credentials to receive a key, then pass that key on subsequent requests. When called through Jentic the credential is held in the vault and attached at execution time so it never appears in agent context.

Can I create projects and tasks programmatically with the 5pm Project Management API?

Yes. Call /service/get/projects/add to create a project and /service/get/tasks/add to seed tasks. Each task accepts a project ID, name, assignee, and due date. Update and removal endpoints exist for both resources.

What are the rate limits for the 5pm Project Management API?

5pm does not publish a numeric rate limit. Treat the API as fair-use, cache reads where possible, and back off on HTTP 429 responses. Avoid tight polling loops against /service/get/projects/getAll on large accounts; refresh on a one-to-five-minute interval instead.

How do I list my 5pm tasks through Jentic?

After running pip install jentic and setting JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY, search Jentic for 'list 5pm tasks', load /service/get/tasks/getList, and execute. Jentic injects the session key and returns the structured task list to the agent.

Does the 5pm Project Management API return JSON or XML?

Both. The path prefix /service/get/ indicates a GET-style call and the response format follows the Accept header or query parameter your client provides. JSON is the default when calling via Jentic; XML is supported for legacy clients.
