For Agents

Connect data sources, run queries, and build dashboards and reports through the Binated business-intelligence platform.

Quickstart

Get started with Binated API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"run a Binated query"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Capabilities

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Binated API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Binated API is the programmatic interface to the Binated business-intelligence and data-analytics platform, exposing 12 endpoints to register data sources, query them, and manage dashboards and reports. It supports the standard BI loop: connect a source, run queries against it, build dashboards from the results, and generate point-in-time reports. Authentication is by HTTP bearer token in JWT format.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Binated API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Programmatic Dashboard Provisioning

Analytics teams onboarding new customers want each tenant to receive a starter dashboard built from their data source. The Binated API supports this with POST /datasources to register the source and POST /dashboards to create the dashboard, plus PATCH /dashboards/{dashboardId} to apply tenant-specific overrides. Setup is typically two days for the provisioning script.

Register a Postgres source via POST /datasources, then create a dashboard via POST /dashboards bound to that source ID and confirm via GET /dashboards/{dashboardId}.

Scheduled Report Generation

Operations and finance teams need point-in-time reports delivered on a schedule. The Binated API exposes POST /reports to generate and GET /reports/{reportId} to retrieve, which a cron-driven job can call once per period and forward to email or storage. Setup is half a day per report definition.

Generate a monthly revenue report via POST /reports with a fixed query against the configured source, then retrieve it via GET /reports/{reportId} and forward the result by email.

Embedded Analytics Query Layer

Product teams embedding analytics in their own UI need to run user-scoped queries against the data sources they have registered with Binated. POST /datasources/{sourceId}/query is the supported entry point, returning query results that the embedding application then renders. This separates query execution from rendering and keeps source credentials in Binated. Setup is typically two to three days for a first embed.

Send a SQL-shaped query against data source ID 42 via POST /datasources/{sourceId}/query and return the result rows for rendering in a customer-facing chart.

AI Agent Analyst via Jentic

An AI assistant for analytics teams can register sources, run queries, and produce reports from natural-language requests routed through Jentic. The bearer JWT is held in the Jentic vault, so the assistant never sees the raw token. Search-load-execute through Jentic gets the assistant live in under an hour, versus several days for a direct integration.

Search Jentic for 'run a Binated query', load the POST /datasources/{sourceId}/query schema, and execute it against the configured source with the supplied query.

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Binated JWT bearer tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — the raw JWT never enters the agent's context or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'run a Binated query') and Jentic returns the matching Binated operation with its input schema, so the agent can call POST /datasources/{sourceId}/query without browsing third-party docs.

Time to first call

Direct Binated integration: 1-3 days for source registration, querying, and dashboard provisioning. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Binated API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Binated API?

Binated does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Binated API via 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 Binated API use?

The Binated API uses HTTP bearer authentication with a JWT token. You supply the token as Authorization: Bearer <jwt>. When called via Jentic, the JWT is held in the MAXsystem vault so the raw token never reaches the agent's context.

Can I run a query against a registered data source through the Binated API?

Yes. POST /datasources/{sourceId}/query runs a query against the named data source and returns the result. Sources are registered first via POST /datasources, then queried by their assigned source ID.

What are the rate limits for the Binated API?

The current spec does not declare explicit numeric rate limits. Treat 429 responses as the signal to back off, and call the Jentic SDK, which retries on 429 with exponential back-off so high-volume query jobs do not have to handle this manually.

How do I generate a Binated report through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'generate a Binated report', which surfaces POST /reports. Load the schema, supply the report definition, and execute. Then retrieve the result via GET /reports/{reportId}. The Python flow is: pip install jentic, then await client.search, await client.load, await client.execute.

Can I update an existing dashboard?

Yes. PATCH /dashboards/{dashboardId} applies a partial update to a dashboard, leaving fields not present in the request unchanged. This is the supported pattern for tenant-specific overrides on a shared dashboard template.
