For Agents

Read and write records in Caspio cloud database tables, query views, manage table schema fields, and upload files into a Caspio account.

Quickstart

Get started with Caspio REST 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:
"insert a record into a Caspio table"

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

Capabilities

List Caspio tables and inspect their column definitions

Insert, query, update, and delete records inside a named Caspio table

View OpenAPI Document

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

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Caspio REST API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Caspio is a low-code cloud database platform and the REST API exposes the underlying tables, views, files, and applications so that external systems can read and write data programmatically. The API supports listing and editing table schemas, inserting and querying records with WHERE-style filters, browsing read-only views, uploading and managing files in the Caspio file space, and discovering DataPages inside Caspio applications. It is used to embed Caspio data into custom apps, agents, and integration pipelines that sit alongside a Caspio-built portal.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Caspio REST API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Sync external system data into Caspio

Use POST /tables/{tableName}/records to push rows from a CRM, ERP, or spreadsheet into a Caspio table that already powers an internal portal. The schema endpoints let you confirm the table exists with the expected columns before inserting, avoiding silent type mismatches at write time.

POST a JSON record body with Name, Email, and Status fields to /tables/Customers/records and confirm the response contains the new row count.

Query Caspio data for a custom dashboard

Frontends or BI dashboards can call GET /tables/{tableName}/records or GET /views/{viewName}/records with filter and pagination parameters to retrieve current Caspio data without going through a DataPage. This is useful when teams want native React or mobile UIs on top of a Caspio-managed dataset.

GET /views/OpenTickets/records with a where filter on assigned_to equal to the current agent id and return the first 50 rows.

Schema management for low-code apps

Operations teams can extend a Caspio table by adding fields via POST /tables/{tableName}/fields or relax a field type with PUT /tables/{tableName}/fields/{fieldName}. This supports controlled schema evolution from CI scripts rather than ad-hoc edits in the Caspio UI.

POST a new field definition named 'priority' with type Number to /tables/Tickets/fields and verify it appears in the field list.

AI agent low-code data integration via Jentic

An AI agent embedded in a Caspio-driven business app can fetch records, insert new ones, and upload supporting files using Jentic's intent search. The Caspio OAuth2 client credentials live in the Jentic vault, so the agent never holds the long-lived token.

Search Jentic for 'insert a record into a Caspio table', load POST /tables/{tableName}/records, and execute it with the table name and the agent's structured payload.

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Caspio OAuth 2.0 client credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Jentic runs the token exchange server-side and injects the resulting bearer token at execution time, so the client secret never enters the agent's prompt or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'insert a Caspio record' or 'query a Caspio view') and Jentic returns the matching operation along with its parameter and body schema, so the agent does not need to learn the {accountId} URL pattern manually.

Time to first call

Direct Caspio integration with OAuth client credentials, token caching, and per-account base URL handling: 2-3 days. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load, execute.

Related APIs

Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.

Alternative

Airtable API

Airtable is the better-known low-code database alternative with a more spreadsheet-style UI.

Choose Airtable when collaborators want a spreadsheet-first experience; choose Caspio when DataPages and embedded portals matter.

Alternative

Knack API

Knack is another low-code database and online-app builder with a similar audience to Caspio.

Use Knack when the team prefers Knack-style record fields and pages; otherwise Caspio's REST surface is broader for schema management.

Alternative

NocoDB API

NocoDB is a self-hostable open-source alternative to Caspio's cloud database.

Choose NocoDB when self-hosting or open-source licensing is required; choose Caspio for fully managed hosting and DataPages.

FAQs

Specific to using Caspio REST API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Caspio REST API?

Caspio publishes documentation but no machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Caspio REST 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 Caspio REST API use?

The Caspio REST API uses OAuth 2.0 with the client credentials flow. You exchange a client id and secret at https://{accountId}.caspio.com/oauth/token for a bearer access token, then send it as Authorization: Bearer in subsequent requests. Through Jentic, the client credentials are held in the MAXsystem vault and the token exchange happens server-side.

Can I update existing records with the Caspio REST API?

Yes. PUT /tables/{tableName}/records updates records that match the supplied where filter, and DELETE /tables/{tableName}/records deletes records that match a filter. Both operations apply to all matching rows, so include a precise filter to avoid bulk updates.

What are the rate limits for the Caspio REST API?

Caspio limits API calls based on your plan; the OpenAPI spec does not encode hard numeric limits. Check your account's API quota in the Caspio console at howto.caspio.com and batch record operations into a single insert or update payload where possible.

How do I query a Caspio view through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search Jentic with the query 'get records from a Caspio view', load the GET /views/{viewName}/records schema, and execute it with the view name and any where, select, or limit parameters. Jentic injects the Caspio OAuth token at execution time.

Can I upload files to Caspio through this API?

Yes. PUT /files/{path} uploads a file to the specified folder path within your Caspio file space, and GET /files lists files and folders. This is useful for storing attachments referenced by table records.
