It lists records filtered by year, month, and status, which lets an integration pull a reporting period on demand, and it updates a record to change its state. The surface is deliberately small: one read operation for retrieving records and one write operation for updating them, authorised with a key issued by the BLACS administrator. ## For AI agents Read and update BLACS ERP records: list records filtered by year, month, and status, and update a record's state through a two-operation REST surface. ## Scope Does not handle invoicing, payments, or payroll. Use for listing and updating BLACS ERP records by period and status only. ## Capabilities - List BLACS ERP records for a given year and month - Filter the record list by status - Update a BLACS ERP record's state ## Use cases ### Agent Period Reporting An AI agent connected through Jentic pulls a reporting period from BLACS: it lists records for a given year and month, optionally narrowed by status, and summarises what is outstanding. Because the list operation accepts year, month, and status filters, the agent fetches exactly the slice it needs rather than paging the whole dataset. Example prompt: List BLACS records for the current month with a pending status and report how many are outstanding ### Status Update Workflow An operations workflow advances records through their lifecycle by updating their state in BLACS. The ERP exposes an update operation, so an agent can mark a record once a downstream step completes, keeping the ERP in step with work happening elsewhere. Example prompt: Update a BLACS record to mark it as processed ### Scheduled Period Sync A scheduled job keeps an external system aligned with BLACS by listing each month's records and reconciling their status. The two-operation surface makes the sync simple: read the period, compare it, and update any records that drifted. Example prompt: List last month's BLACS records, compare their status against an external system, and update any that are out of sync ## Key resources - **Records** — List BLACS ERP records by year, month, and status, and update a record's state ## AI readiness This API is usable in Jentic One now. Its AI-readiness score against Jentic's framework shows where it stands today and where improvements would make it even easier for agents to use. - **Score:** 0 / 100 - **Maturity:** Non-Ready - **Dimensions:** - Foundational Compliance: 82 / 100 - Developer Experience & Jentic Compatibility: 70 / 100 - AI-Readiness & Agent Experience: 17 / 100 - Agent Usability: 94 / 100 - Security: 60 / 100 - AI Discoverability: 0 / 100 - **View full report:** https://jentic.com/apis/burung.org/burung/scorecard - **How the score is calculated:** https://docs.jentic.com/reference/api-readiness-framework/overview/ - **More about the dimensions:** https://docs.jentic.com/reference/api-readiness-framework/specification/#dimensional-model-overview ### Score it yourself Every API in the directory is allowlisted, so you can re-score it with no key required. - **Score your own API:** https://jentic.com/scorecard.md - **Scoring CLI agent skill:** https://github.com/jentic/jentic-api-scorecard/blob/main/skills/jentic-api-scorecard/SKILL.md ```sh npx @jentic/api-scorecard-cli score ``` ## Why Jentic - **Setup:** Wiring the Blacs ERP API by hand means obtaining an Authorization key from the BLACS administrator, managing it as a bearer credential, and handling the year, month, and status filters yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Blacs ERP API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it. - **Permission scoping:** The Blacs ERP API carries its filters and updates in the query and request body, so a rule bounds which operations your agent may call, not which record. You choose the operations it may call, so a rule can allow the read-only record-list operation while leaving the update operation out. - **Credential handling:** Your Blacs ERP key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context. - **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list ERP records by month' or 'update a record', and Jentic returns the matching Blacs ERP operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs. ## Related APIs - **Xero Accounting** — Xero Accounting is a full accounting API, a far broader finance surface than the BLACS ERP record access. - **Sage** — Sage offers accounting and business-management APIs that overlap with an ERP's record keeping. - **Zoho Inventory** — Zoho Inventory manages stock and orders that often sit alongside the records an ERP tracks. ## FAQ ### What authentication does the Blacs ERP API use? The Blacs ERP API authenticates with a bearer Authorization key, per its OpenAPI spec, and you request that key from the BLACS administrator. Through Jentic the key is stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at call time, so it never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context. ### Can I filter BLACS records by period with the Blacs ERP API? Yes. The list operation accepts year, month, and status query parameters, so you can retrieve a single reporting period and narrow it to records in a particular state. There is also an update operation for changing a record once you have found it. ### What are the rate limits for the Blacs ERP API? The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits for the Blacs ERP API. Because access is granted per account by the BLACS administrator, check with them for any limits that apply to your key. ### Is there a Blacs ERP MCP server? You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the Blacs ERP API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your key once, and your agent calls it. Operations are discovered on demand, so your agent's context stays lean instead of loading a separate server's tool definitions. ### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Blacs ERP API? Yes. Because the surface has one read and one write operation, you write a rule that allows only the record-list operation and leaves the update operation out. The agent can then report on BLACS records without changing any of them, and every call it makes is logged. ### How do I list a month's BLACS records through Jentic? Import the Blacs ERP API from the Jentic API Directory, store your Authorization key once, and have your agent search Jentic for 'list ERP records by month'. Jentic returns the list operation with its input schema so the agent sends the year, month, and status and reads back the records. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
