For Agents

Manage newsletter subscriptions, publish posts, run automations, segment audiences, and operate paid tiers and referral programmes through beehiiv's 67 publication-scoped endpoints.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the beehiiv API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the beehiiv 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fbeehiiv.com%2Fbeehiiv" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fbeehiiv.com%2Fbeehiiv" | 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use beehiiv API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Subscriber acquisition and CRM sync

Newsletter operators sync subscribers into beehiiv from website forms, lead magnets, and CRM exports so the audience of record stays in beehiiv. POST /publications/{publicationId}/subscriptions adds individuals, POST /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscriptions handles list imports, and the bulk_subscription_updates endpoints expose job status so the integration knows when an import has completed.

Add subscriber jane@example.com to publication pub_123 with custom field source set to landing_page_a and tag launch_2026

Audience segmentation for targeted sends

Operators segment their list using custom fields and behavioural signals so each post is sent to the readers most likely to engage. The /custom_fields and /condition_sets endpoints let an integration define attributes and rule sets, and /segments expose saved segments referenced when scheduling a post. This drives both engagement and reduced unsubscribe rates.

Create a custom field signup_source on publication pub_123 and build a segment of subscribers where signup_source equals podcast for a targeted promo send

Paid tiers and revenue reporting

Creators monetise through paid tiers on beehiiv and need revenue and tier-membership data for finance reporting. The /tiers endpoints expose tier configuration and per-subscription tier history, so an integration can build a monthly recurring revenue snapshot or detect downgrade and churn events for save-flow automations.

List all active paid subscriptions on publication pub_123, group by tier, and calculate the implied monthly recurring revenue

AI agent integration for creator operations

Independent creators and small newsletter teams use AI agents through Jentic to handle the long tail of operational tasks: tagging new subscribers, exporting weekly engagement reports, and setting up automation journeys for new signups. The agent searches Jentic for the right beehiiv operation, loads the schema, and executes with the bearer API key held in your Jentic One instance, so the key never appears in agent context.

Through Jentic, find beehiiv's segments operation and produce a weekly report of subscriber growth, segmented by signup source, for publication pub_123

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the beehiiv API by hand means carrying a bearer key, learning the subscription, post, segment, and tier endpoints, and threading the publication id through every call yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the beehiiv API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

beehiiv puts the publication id in the URL path (/publications/{publicationId}/subscriptions), so a rule can pin your agent to one publication: it reads and adds subscribers for that publication and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so bulk subscriptions or webhook creation are not included unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your beehiiv bearer key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected as the Authorization header at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'add a newsletter subscriber' or 'create an audience segment', and Jentic returns the matching beehiiv operation with its input schema so the agent calls /publications/{publicationId}/subscriptions or /publications/{publicationId}/segments without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using beehiiv API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for beehiiv API?

beehiiv does not publish a downloadable OpenAPI specification alongside its developer docs. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call beehiiv API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the beehiiv API use?

beehiiv uses HTTP bearer authentication. Generate an API key from your publication's API integrations settings and pass it as Authorization: Bearer <token>. Jentic stores the key in its vault and injects the header at execution time so it never enters agent context.

Can I bulk import subscribers with the beehiiv API?

Yes. POST /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscriptions accepts a list payload and returns a job ID. Read /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscription_updates and /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscription_updates/{id} to track progress until the job completes.

How do I segment my audience through Jentic?

Search Jentic for create a beehiiv audience segment to find the segments and condition_sets endpoints. Load the schema and execute with your custom_field IDs and condition rules. Segments referenced when scheduling a post will narrow the recipient list to the matching subscribers.

Does the beehiiv API expose paid tier and revenue data?

Yes. /publications/{publicationId}/tiers lists configured tiers, and the subscriptions endpoints include tier membership per subscriber. Combine these to compute MRR, churn, and tier-distribution snapshots without exporting CSVs.

Can I register webhooks for subscription events?

Yes. POST /publications/{publicationId}/webhooks registers a webhook URL and event filter. The supported events cover subscription lifecycle changes and post events; consult the response schema to choose the events your integration cares about.

What are the rate limits for the beehiiv API?

beehiiv enforces per-publication rate limits described in its developer docs rather than in the OpenAPI spec. If you receive HTTP 429 responses, back off and retry with exponential delay, and contact beehiiv support if a sustained sync needs higher headroom.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the beehiiv API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which beehiiv operations and credentials the agent may use. Since beehiiv puts the publication id in the URL path, such as /publications/{publicationId}/subscriptions, you can pin the agent to a single publication so it only reads and adds subscribers there. You also choose the exact operations it may call, so higher-impact actions like POST /publications/{publicationId}/bulk_subscriptions or POST /publications/{publicationId}/webhooks stay off limits unless you explicitly grant them.
