For Agents

Read pre-dispute chargeback alerts, manage descriptor enrollments, upload order data for matching, and issue credit requests to deflect chargebacks before they post. Useful for fraud and dispute operations agents.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Chargeblast API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Chargeblast API, 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fchargeblast.com%2Fchargeblast" | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fchargeblast.com%2Fchargeblast" | 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

What an agent can do with Chargeblast API.

List incoming chargeback alerts with /api/v2/alerts and pull a single alert detail by ID

Update an alert's outcome (refund, representment, decline) via PUT /api/v2/alerts/{id}/update

Enroll and unenroll merchants and their card descriptors into the alert network through /api/enroll_merchant and /api/unenroll_merchant

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Chargeblast API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Real-Time Chargeback Deflection

Risk operations teams poll /api/v2/alerts for new pre-dispute notifications coming from CDRN, Ethoca, and RDR networks. When an alert matches an order they want to refund rather than dispute, they call POST /api/credit_requests within minutes, which Chargeblast forwards to the issuer and which prevents the dispute from becoming a chargeback. Deflection cost is far lower than the chargeback fee plus lost goods.

List /api/v2/alerts with state=open, match each to a recent order, and POST /api/credit_requests for any over the deflection threshold

Descriptor and Merchant Onboarding

Payment processors and merchant aggregators onboard new descriptors into the chargeback alert networks through POST /api/enroll_merchant. Each enrolled descriptor begins receiving alerts when issuers flag transactions, and unenrolling via POST /api/unenroll_merchant cleanly removes coverage when a merchant offboards. The /api/merchants and /api/descriptors endpoints provide the read side for reconciliation.

POST /api/enroll_merchant for a new merchant with their MID and descriptors, then GET /api/merchants to verify enrollment status

Order Data Matching

Pre-dispute alerts arrive with cardholder details but limited transaction context, so merchants upload order metadata via POST /api/upload_orders so Chargeblast can match alerts back to the originating order. Better matching means faster resolution decisions and clearer refund evidence. Bulk uploads run nightly or on order completion.

POST /api/upload_orders with the last 24 hours of completed orders so subsequent alerts can be matched automatically

Agent-Managed Dispute Operations via Jentic

An AI agent given a directive like 'refund any open chargeback alerts over $50' can resolve the workflow through Jentic. The agent searches for the list-alerts and credit-requests operations, iterates the open alerts, and issues credit requests against ones that meet the rule, all without holding the API key.

Search Jentic for 'list chargeback alerts', filter to open alerts over $50, and post credit requests for each

Key Endpoints

14 endpoints — chargeblast is a chargeback prevention platform that lets merchants enroll their card descriptors into pre-dispute alert networks (verifi cdrn, ethoca, rdr), receive alerts when a cardholder initiates a dispute, and resolve them with a refund or representment before they become a chargeback.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring Chargeblast by hand means learning its X-API-Key header auth and attaching the key to every alert and enrollment call yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Chargeblast from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Chargeblast puts the alert id in the URL path (/api/v2/alerts/{id}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to reading and updating a given alert and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so merchant enrollment or credit requests are not included unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your Chargeblast API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected into the X-API-Key header at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list chargeback alerts' or 'submit a credit request', and Jentic returns the matching Chargeblast operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Chargeblast API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Chargeblast API use?

Chargeblast uses an API key passed in the X-API-Key header on every request. Through Jentic, the key stays encrypted in your Jentic One instance and the agent receives a scoped execution token instead of the raw secret.

Can I deflect a chargeback alert before it becomes a chargeback with the Chargeblast API?

Yes. POST /api/credit_requests against the alert ID with the credit amount and Chargeblast forwards the credit instruction to the issuer through the alert network. If accepted in time, the dispute does not progress to a chargeback.

How do I match alerts to my own order records?

Bulk-upload order metadata to POST /api/upload_orders so Chargeblast can match incoming alerts by descriptor, amount, and date. Orders with richer matching data resolve faster and reduce manual review time.

What are the rate limits for the Chargeblast API?

Chargeblast does not publish a fixed public rate limit. As a real-time alert API, it favours short polling on /api/v2/alerts and bulk uploads on /api/upload_orders rather than high-frequency individual writes; back off on HTTP 429 responses.

How do I list open chargeback alerts through Jentic?

Install jentic with pip install jentic, search for 'list chargeback alerts', load the schema for GET /api/v2/alerts, and execute. Run Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, to issue an agent API key.

Does the Chargeblast API support enrolling descriptors into both Verifi and Ethoca networks?

Yes. POST /api/enroll_merchant accepts the merchant identifiers and descriptors and Chargeblast handles enrollment into the supported pre-dispute networks (CDRN, Ethoca, RDR) on the back end. GET /api/descriptors confirms what is currently registered.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Chargeblast API?

Yes. Jentic One runs self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Chargeblast operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Chargeblast puts the alert id in the URL path (/api/v2/alerts/{id}/update), you can pin the agent to reading and updating a specific alert and nothing else. Merchant enrollment via POST /api/enroll_merchant and credit requests via POST /api/credit_requests stay out of reach unless you explicitly grant them.
