For Agents

Build and run integration flows in Cenit IO programmatically — manage connections, data types, flows, schedulers, and event observers in the open-source iPaaS platform.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Cenit IO - REST API Specification to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Cenit IO - REST API Specification, 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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.

Capabilities

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Cenit IO - REST API Specification API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Programmatic iPaaS Pipeline Build-Out

Integration teams script the creation of dozens of similar pipelines — for example one per customer tenant — by calling the Cenit setup endpoints in sequence. An agent or template runner posts connections, data types, flows, and schedulers from a configuration file, removing the click-through cost of standing up each tenant in the Cenit UI.

POST /setup/connection, then /setup/data_type, then /setup/flow with the configuration for a new tenant pipeline

Scheduled Data Sync Configuration

Operations teams use Cenit to run nightly syncs between a CRM and a data warehouse. Rather than configure schedulers in the UI, an agent posts the schedule definitions via /setup/scheduler and binds them to existing flows, then verifies the schedule with a GET. This keeps schedule changes versionable in source control.

POST /setup/scheduler with a cron expression, then GET /setup/scheduler/{id} to confirm it is bound to the right flow

Event-Driven Flow Triggers

Cenit observers (events) trigger flows on inbound conditions such as a new record matching a filter. An agent provisions observers via /setup/observer, references the upstream data type, and verifies the binding. This brings event-driven integration patterns into existing flow definitions.

POST /setup/observer with the data type id and filter expression, then list observers via GET /setup/observer/ to confirm

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

An integration agent uses Jentic to discover Cenit IO endpoints, load schemas for setup operations, and execute calls without holding the access key and token directly. This is useful when an LLM-driven agent reasons over user requests like 'add a Stripe-to-warehouse sync' and needs to provision the underlying iPaaS pipeline programmatically.

Use Jentic to search 'create a Cenit IO flow', load the schema for POST /setup/flow, and execute with the source and destination data type ids

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Cenit IO X-User-Access-Key and X-User-Access-Token values are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents call /setup endpoints through scoped execution requests; neither header value enters the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent (e.g., 'create an integration flow in Cenit') and Jentic returns the matching /setup operations with their input schemas, so the agent doesn't have to navigate the 40-endpoint surface manually.

Time to first call

Direct Cenit IO integration: 2-3 days mapping the setup model and configuring auth. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Cenit IO - REST API Specification API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Cenit IO API use?

Cenit IO requires two header values together: `X-User-Access-Key` and `X-User-Access-Token`, both issued from a user's Cenit account. Through Jentic both values are stored encrypted in the vault and injected at execution time.

Can I build integration flows programmatically with Cenit?

Yes. The /setup/flow, /setup/connection, /setup/data_type, /setup/scheduler, and /setup/observer endpoints together cover the full setup needed for an integration pipeline — flows can be built, scheduled, and event-triggered without touching the Cenit UI.

What are the rate limits for the Cenit IO API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare specific numeric rate limits. Cenit IO is open source and self-hostable, so limits depend on the deployment. On the public hosted instance, treat as fair-use and back off on 429 responses.

How do I create a Cenit flow through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create a Cenit IO flow', load the schema for POST /setup/flow/, and execute with source and destination data type ids. Schedule it via POST /setup/scheduler in the same agent run.

Is the Cenit IO API free?

Cenit IO is open source under the MIT licence and self-hostable for free. The hosted cenit.io service offers tiered plans listed on the website; the API itself has no separate cost beyond the chosen plan.

Can I organise integrations by project or tenant?

Yes. The /setup/namespace endpoints let you group flows, data types, and connections under named namespaces, which is the recommended pattern for multi-tenant or per-project setups.
