Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the CompanyProof REST 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%2Fcompanyproof.ai%2Fcompanyproof" | shStep 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%2Fcompanyproof.ai%2Fcompanyproof" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic 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.
What an agent can do with CompanyProof REST API.
Resolve a company from a name or identifier to a canonical match
Retrieve a structured company profile by id
Stream an adaptive intelligence query about a company
Verify company claims and create a durable verification proof
Inspect your current API usage and allowance
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use CompanyProof REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Agent Resolves and Profiles a Company
An AI agent connected to the CompanyProof REST API can turn a messy company name into a canonical record and read its profile. It calls the search endpoint to resolve the name to a company id, then retrieves the structured profile by that id, so downstream steps work from a resolved entity rather than a free-text string. This gives an agent a reliable starting point for any company-centric task.
Search for the company named Acme Corp, take the top resolved id, and retrieve its structured profile
Claim Verification with a Durable Proof
When a company asserts something that matters, the CompanyProof REST API verifies the claim and returns a durable verification proof that can be stored and referenced later. An agent reviewing a vendor's stated certifications or facts can submit them to the verify endpoint and keep the proof, so the check is auditable rather than a one-off result that disappears.
Submit a company's stated claims to the verify endpoint and store the durable verification proof it returns
Adaptive Intelligence Query
Beyond a static profile, the CompanyProof REST API streams an adaptive intelligence query about a company, so an agent can ask a specific question and receive a response as it is generated. A research agent can pose a targeted question about a company and consume the streamed answer, rather than fetching a whole profile and parsing it for the one fact it needs.
Stream an intelligence query asking about a company's primary business lines and summarize the response
API Allowance Monitoring
Because REST and MCP share account-wide rate and usage limits, an agent needs to know where it stands. The CompanyProof REST API's usage endpoint reports the current allowance, so an agent can check remaining capacity before a batch of resolutions or verifications and pace itself to stay within the plan.
Read the usage endpoint and report the remaining allowance before starting a batch of company verifications
5 endpoints — the companyproof rest api resolves companies from a name or identifier, retrieves structured company profiles by id, and streams adaptive intelligence queries about a company.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the CompanyProof REST API by hand means handling its cp_live_ or cp_test_ bearer key, keeping test keys isolated from live claim verification, and watching the account-wide usage limits. Through Jentic you install once, import CompanyProof from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
CompanyProof puts the company id in the URL path (/v2/companies/{id}/profile), so a rule can pin your agent to the search and profile reads you need. You can let it resolve and read company profiles without granting the claim-verification or intelligence operations.
Credential isolation
Your CompanyProof 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.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'resolve a company' or 'verify company claims', and Jentic returns the matching CompanyProof operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using CompanyProof REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the CompanyProof REST API use?
The CompanyProof REST API authenticates with a bearer token per its OpenAPI spec: an API key prefixed cp_live_ or cp_test_, sent as an Authorization: Bearer header and kept server-side. All endpoints require a key; test keys are isolated to fixture verification while live keys verify real-company claims, and search, profile, and intelligence need an active access tier. Through Jentic the key is stored once by your own self-hosted instance and injected at call time, so it never sits in your agent's prompt or logs.
Is there a CompanyProof MCP server?
Yes - CompanyProof is reachable over MCP, which shares the account's rate and usage limits with the REST API. You can also connect CompanyProof directly through Jentic: your agent gets the full 5-endpoint surface, including resolve, profile, and claim verification, without loading another server's tool definitions into its context, your API key is injected at call time by your self-hosted instance, and your rules decide which operations the agent may call.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the CompanyProof REST API?
Yes. Write a rule that allows only the company search and profile reads, so the agent can resolve and read companies but cannot run intelligence queries or submit claim verifications. The calls it makes are logged, so you can audit exactly what the agent touched.
Can I verify company claims with the CompanyProof REST API?
Yes. Call POST /v2/claims/verify with the claims to check and the API returns a durable verification proof you can store and reference later. Resolve the company first with POST /v2/companies/search and read its profile with GET /v2/companies/{id}/profile so the verification runs against the right entity.
What are the rate limits for the CompanyProof REST API?
The OpenAPI spec does not state a fixed per-second rate limit, and notes that REST and MCP share account-wide rate and usage limits. GET /v2/usage reports the current allowance so an agent can check remaining capacity. Check the documentation at https://companyproof.ai for current plan limits.
How do I resolve a company with the CompanyProof REST API through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'resolve a company' and it returns the POST /v2/companies/search operation with its input schema. Pass the company name or identifier and the agent gets back the resolved company id to profile or verify. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
For Agents
Resolve companies, retrieve structured profiles, stream intelligence queries, and verify company claims with a durable proof. Reports the account's current API allowance.
Use for: Resolve a company name to a canonical company record, Get a structured profile for a company by id, Verify a claim a company is making, Create a durable proof that a company claim checked out
Not supported: Does not screen individuals, run background checks, or store your own CRM records. Use for company resolution, profiles, intelligence, and claim verification only.
The CompanyProof REST API resolves companies from a name or identifier, retrieves structured company profiles by id, and streams adaptive intelligence queries about a company. It verifies company claims and returns a durable verification proof, and reports the account's current API allowance. Live keys verify real-company claims, while test keys are isolated to fixture verification.
