For Agents

Read AppFolio property management data — bills, charges, tenants, units, work orders, and vendors — so an agent can sync an AppFolio account into an external system.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the AppFolio Stack API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the AppFolio Stack API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.

Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.

Step 1: Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with AppFolio Stack API.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use AppFolio Stack API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Property Accounting Sync

Sync AppFolio bills and charges into an external accounting tool by listing /bills with pagination, joining each with /attachments for backing documents, and writing the result into the accounting system. This is the typical pattern for property management firms whose CFO wants AppFolio's operational books mirrored in QuickBooks or Xero for consolidated financial reporting.

List /bills with pagination, fetch attachments for each, and write the bill record plus attachment metadata to the external accounting system

Maintenance Work Order Routing

Route AppFolio work orders to a third-party maintenance dispatch system by walking /work-orders, joining each with /vendors and /units to enrich the dispatch payload with the property address and assigned vendor. This removes the manual copy from AppFolio's work order screen into the dispatch tool used by on-site maintenance teams.

List /work-orders with status=open, fetch the unit and vendor for each, and POST the enriched work order into the maintenance dispatch tool

Tenant and Unit Reporting

Generate weekly tenant occupancy and charge reports by listing /tenants, /units, and /charges and joining them on unit ID. The agent assembles a single CSV with occupancy, current charges, and outstanding balance per unit so portfolio managers have one canonical view across the AppFolio account without browsing the UI.

List /units, /tenants, and /charges, join on unit ID, and write a CSV grouped by property with occupancy and outstanding balance

Agent-Driven Property Data Lookups

Let an AI agent answer property manager questions like 'how many open work orders does 123 Main Street have?' by exposing AppFolio reads through Jentic. The agent searches for the right operation, loads the schema, and executes — without holding the AppFolio partner credential, which controls access to the entire portfolio.

Search Jentic for 'list appfolio work orders', load the GET /work-orders schema, and execute filtered by the property the user named

Key Endpoints

15 endpoints — the appfolio stack api gives property management partners read access to bills, charges, properties, tenants, units, work orders, vendors, bank accounts, and attachments inside an appfolio account.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

AppFolio partner credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents call operations through scoped tokens — the partner credential never enters agent context, which matters because the credential grants access to the full property portfolio.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g. 'list appfolio bills' or 'list open work orders') and Jentic returns the matching bills, work-orders, or charges operations with their schemas, so the agent calls the right endpoint without studying the AppFolio resource model up front.

Time to first call

Direct AppFolio integration: 1-2 days for partner onboarding, auth, and pagination. Through Jentic: under 1 hour for the read pattern — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using AppFolio Stack API through Jentic.

What authentication does the AppFolio Stack API use?

An AppFolio-issued partner API credential. The OpenAPI spec does not encode the security scheme inline because authentication is gated at the platform onboarding layer. Through Jentic the credential is stored encrypted in the vault (MAXsystem) and never enters agent context.

Can I list work orders for a specific property?

Yes. GET /work-orders supports filtering and pagination, and joining each result against GET /units and GET /properties resolves the work order to a specific property and unit. Combine with GET /vendors to surface the assigned vendor.

What are the rate limits for the AppFolio Stack API?

The OpenAPI spec does not publish explicit rate limits. AppFolio applies per-partner throttling configured at onboarding — contact the AppFolio partner team for your account's limits before high-volume sync runs.

How do I list AppFolio bills through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search 'list appfolio bills'. Jentic returns GET /bills with its input schema — load the schema, populate any pagination, and execute. The agent never sees the partner credential.

Is this a read-only API?

The exposed endpoints are GET-based across bills, charges, properties, tenants, units, work orders, vendors, bank accounts, and attachments. Use this API to read AppFolio state into external systems; writes back into AppFolio require the partner-platform integration paths outside this spec.
