Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

The Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board (ASRB) API integrates with India's DigiLocker platform to issue digital merit certificates for the National Eligibility Test (NET-I and NET-II). Candidates who qualified in the 2019 cycles can pull their results directly into a verified DigiLocker record using a single endpoint. The API is part of API Setu, the Government of India's gateway for citizen-facing document services, and is intended for integrators that already operate inside the DigiLocker ecosystem.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Agricultural Recruitment Verification

Government bodies and ICAR-affiliated employers verifying candidates for agricultural scientist positions can pull the official ASRB NET merit certificate directly from API Setu rather than asking applicants to upload PDFs. The /mrcer/certificate endpoint returns a DigiLocker-compatible record that is signed at source, removing the need for manual document checks.

Call POST /mrcer/certificate with the candidate's roll number and registration details, receive the signed merit certificate, and attach it to a recruitment record.

DigiLocker Issuer Integration

DigiLocker partner applications that surface academic and employment qualifications can list ASRB NET merit certificates alongside other government documents. Integrating the ASRB endpoint lets users fetch their certificate once and reuse it across job applications, scholarship submissions, and academic admissions without re-uploading.

Authenticate with X-APISETU-APIKEY and X-APISETU-CLIENTID, request the candidate's ASRB merit certificate, and store the issued document reference in the user's DigiLocker wallet.

Academic Records Aggregation

EdTech platforms and academic CV builders that compile a candidate's verified credentials can pull the ASRB NET merit certificate as one component of a wider portfolio. Because the source is a government-issued document, downstream consumers can trust the qualification claim without additional verification steps.

Retrieve the ASRB merit certificate for a verified candidate and include it in a credentials bundle returned to a hiring portal.

AI Agent Credential Verification

An AI agent assisting with government recruitment workflows can use Jentic to call the ASRB endpoint without managing API Setu API key rotation directly. Jentic handles credential isolation and surfaces the single available operation through intent search, so the agent only needs to request the certificate and pass through the candidate identifiers.

Search Jentic for 'fetch ASRB merit certificate', load the operation schema, and execute it with the candidate's roll number on behalf of a recruitment agent workflow.

Key Endpoints

1 endpoints — the agricultural scientists recruitment board (asrb) api integrates with india's digilocker platform to issue digital merit certificates for the national eligibility test (net-i and net-ii).

METHOD

DESCRIPTION

POST

/mrcer/certificate

Issue an ASRB NET merit certificate for a qualified candidate.

POST

/mrcer/certificate

Issue an ASRB NET merit certificate for a qualified candidate.

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

API Setu requires both X-APISETU-APIKEY and X-APISETU-CLIENTID headers. Jentic stores both in the encrypted vault (MAXsystem) and injects them at call time, so the raw integrator credentials never enter the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

The ASRB API exposes a single operation. An agent searches Jentic for 'fetch ASRB merit certificate' and receives the POST /mrcer/certificate schema directly, with no documentation browsing required.

Time to first call

Direct API Setu integration: 1-2 weeks for onboarding plus header auth, error handling, and DigiLocker signature verification. Through Jentic: under 1 hour once credentials are stored — search, load schema, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Complementary

Kerala Public Service Commission

Sister API Setu endpoint that issues KPSC certificates and tickets via DigiLocker.

Choose this when an agent needs Kerala state public-service documents instead of central-government agricultural recruitment certificates.

Complementary

Factorial HR API

Use Factorial HR to attach verified ASRB credentials to an employee record once recruitment completes.

Use after ASRB verification to onboard the qualified candidate into an employee management system.

Complementary

Clio API

Attach verified government certificates to matter records when recruitment dispute or contract work requires documentary proof.

Use when a legal workflow needs the ASRB certificate filed against a matter or contact.

FAQs

Specific to using Agricultural Scientists Recruitment Board API through Jentic.

What authentication does the ASRB API use?

The ASRB API requires two header credentials: X-APISETU-APIKEY (the API Setu API key) and X-APISETU-CLIENTID (the integrator's client ID). Both are issued by API Setu after onboarding. When called through Jentic, these credentials stay encrypted in the Jentic vault and never enter the agent's prompt context.

Can I retrieve other ASRB exam results with this API?

No. The spec exposes a single operation, POST /mrcer/certificate, scoped to NET-I and NET-II 2019 merit certificates. Other ASRB exam cycles or recruitment categories are not part of this API's surface.

What are the rate limits for the ASRB API?

API Setu does not publish a global limit in the OpenAPI spec; rate limits are negotiated per integrator during DigiLocker onboarding. Treat the operation as low-volume and cache fetched certificates rather than re-requesting on every page load.

How do I fetch a candidate's merit certificate through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic for 'ASRB merit certificate', load the schema for POST /mrcer/certificate, and execute the call with the candidate's identifiers. Jentic injects the X-APISETU-APIKEY and X-APISETU-CLIENTID headers from your stored credentials. Sign up at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

Is the ASRB API free to use?

API Setu is a Government of India platform and the ASRB endpoint is provided to onboarded integrators without per-call charges. You must, however, complete the API Setu and DigiLocker partner onboarding to receive credentials.

Does the ASRB API return a verifiable document or just data?

POST /mrcer/certificate returns a DigiLocker-compatible certificate payload that is digitally signed at source. Downstream systems can present it as a verified government document rather than as ad-hoc JSON.
