Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for Cantrip API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Cantrip API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Cantrip API is the Zapier integration surface for the Cantrip CMS, exposing endpoints to publish posts into collections, list configured post types, retrieve recent form submissions, and subscribe to webhooks for new submissions. It targets marketing and editorial workflows that need to push content into a Cantrip site or react to inbound form data without using the dashboard. Authentication is a single header key issued from the site's Zapier settings.

Use Cases

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

★ Automated Editorial Publishing

An editorial team drafts posts in a headless workflow tool and pushes the finalised content into the Cantrip CMS via POST /posts. The integration sends title, body, slug, teaser, author, and featured image so the site renders the post immediately. This removes the manual copy-paste step at the end of the editorial pipeline.

POST /posts with post_type_uuid, title, body, slug, and featured_image_url to publish a post into a Cantrip collection.

Form Submission Lead Routing

Marketing wants new contact-form submissions to land in their CRM and notify sales in Slack. Subscribing a webhook via POST /webhooks delivers form responses as they arrive, while GET /form-submissions provides a fallback for backfilling missed events. Both endpoints scope by form UUID so different forms can route to different downstream systems.

POST /webhooks with formId and hookUrl to subscribe an external endpoint to a specific Cantrip form's submissions.

Backfill Form Submission History

After connecting a new analytics destination, a team needs the last 100 submissions for each form to seed the dataset. GET /form-submissions returns recent submissions sorted newest first, optionally filtered by form_uuid, so the seeder can iterate through forms and load history before the live webhook stream takes over.

GET /form-submissions?form_uuid=<uuid> for each known form and write the returned submissions into the analytics warehouse.

AI Agent Content Publishing

An agent that drafts blog posts uses Jentic to publish the final draft to Cantrip. It searches for the publish operation, loads the createPost schema, picks the right collection from listPostTypes, and submits the post. Credentials stay in the Jentic vault throughout.

Search Jentic for 'publish a post to Cantrip', call listPostTypes to choose a collection, then execute POST /posts with the selected post_type_uuid and content fields.

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

The X-Zapier-Key is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and injected on every Cantrip request. Agents receive scoped access via Jentic's MAXsystem and never see the raw header value.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g., 'publish a post' or 'list form submissions') and Jentic returns the matching Cantrip operation with its input schema, so the agent picks the right one of the 6 endpoints without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Cantrip integration: half a day to wire up the Zapier-style endpoints and webhook handling. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Cantrip API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Cantrip API?

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

Cantrip uses an API key passed in the X-Zapier-Key header, issued from the Zapier integration settings on each site. Through Jentic the key is stored encrypted and injected at execution time so it never enters the agent's prompt context.

Can I publish a post to a specific collection with the Cantrip API?

Yes. Call GET /post-types to find the post_type_uuid for the collection you want, then POST /posts with that UUID along with title and body to publish into it.

How do I stream form submissions in real time through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'subscribe to Cantrip form submissions', load the subscribeWebhook operation, and execute POST /webhooks with formId and hookUrl. New submissions for that form will be POSTed to your URL.

What are the rate limits for the Cantrip API?

Cantrip does not document rate limits in the OpenAPI spec. The form-submissions endpoint caps results at 100 per call, and we recommend implementing client-side backoff on 429 responses.

Can I retrieve historical form submissions?

GET /form-submissions returns the most recent 100 submissions sorted newest first, optionally filtered by form_uuid. For older history beyond 100 items, rely on webhooks going forward and store events in your own system.
