Use for: Post a new message to the Marketing community discussion, Reply to a specific discussion thread, List the upcoming events in the next 30 days, RSVP yes to event 12345 on behalf of the current user
Not supported: Does not handle billing, membership dues, or external CRM sync - use for Higher Logic community content and engagement only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Higher Logic API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Higher Logic powers professional and association communities used by trade associations, nonprofits, and member organizations. The API exposes 29 endpoints for community membership, discussion threads, blog posts, events with RSVPs, announcements, direct messaging, contact lookup, and Q&A. Authentication is a bearer token obtained from the dedicated Login endpoint and reused for subsequent calls.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Higher Logic API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Higher Logic 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%2Fconnectedcommunity.org%2Fhigher-logic" | sh2
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%2Fconnectedcommunity.org%2Fhigher-logic" | 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Higher Logic API.
Authenticate against the Higher Logic Login endpoint and reuse the bearer token
Post and reply to discussion threads inside a community on behalf of a member
List upcoming events and RSVP to them programmatically
Pull recent announcements and discussion threads to surface in an external dashboard
Search for contacts and read a contact's profile and friend list
Create or delete a blog and submit blog posts as part of a content calendar

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Higher Logic API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Automated Community Digest
Generate a weekly digest of new discussions, announcements, and upcoming events for community members who do not check the portal daily. The agent calls GET /api/v2.0/Discussions/GetRecentThreads, GET /api/v2.0/Announcements/GetAnnouncements, and GET /api/v2.0/Events/GetUpcoming, then composes the digest as Markdown or HTML for a separate email tool to send. Member engagement metrics improve when these digests are personalized rather than the default platform email.
Call GET /api/v2.0/Discussions/GetRecentThreads, GET /api/v2.0/Announcements/GetAnnouncements, and GET /api/v2.0/Events/GetUpcoming, then format the combined output as a digest for community 1001.
Member Self-Service Bot
Run a chatbot that lets members ask, what events are coming up?, who is on this discussion?, or RSVP me to the conference. The agent translates the request into the matching Higher Logic endpoint (GetUpcoming, GetThread, RSVPToEvent) and returns the answer or confirmation. This works for associations who want a Slack or Teams front door without rebuilding the community portal.
On the user message rsvp me to the spring conference, look up the event via GET /api/v2.0/Events/GetUpcoming, then call POST /api/v2.0/Events/RSVPToEvent with response yes.
Cross-Posting and Moderation Tools
Cross-post organization announcements from a CMS into Higher Logic announcements and create blog entries from the same source. The agent calls POST /api/v2.0/Blogs/CreateBlog and posts content into discussions for the relevant community, ensuring the announcement reaches members who only check the community. Moderation tooling can pull GetLatestDiscussionPosts to scan for policy violations.
Take a CMS announcement payload and call POST /api/v2.0/Blogs/CreateBlog plus POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/PostToDiscussion in the Members Lounge community.
AI Agent Community Operations via Jentic
Wire Higher Logic into a community manager's AI assistant. The agent searches Jentic for post to a higher logic discussion, loads the matching operation schema, and executes it with the bearer token isolated in your Jentic One instance. Because the API uses one bearer token per integration, credential isolation is especially important - the assistant never sees the raw token.
Through Jentic, search post to a higher logic discussion, load the POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/PostToDiscussion schema, and execute it for the Marketing community.

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Higher Logic API by hand means logging in to obtain a bearer token, refreshing it, and mapping the v2.0 discussion, event, and announcement calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Higher Logic API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Higher Logic API takes its discussion, event, and announcement targets in the request body, so you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as posting to a discussion or reading upcoming events, rather than to one community. Operations you leave out, such as replying to a discussion or RSVPing to an event, stay unavailable to the agent.
Credential isolation
Your Higher Logic bearer token and login credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'post to a discussion' or 'list upcoming events', and Jentic returns the matching Higher Logic operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Higher Logic API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Higher Logic API?
Higher Logic publishes endpoint reference docs but not a maintained OpenAPI 3 specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Higher Logic API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.
What authentication does the Higher Logic API use?
It uses HTTP Bearer tokens obtained from POST /api/v2.0/Authentication/Login. The login call accepts a username and password and returns a token to send as Authorization: Bearer on subsequent requests. Through Jentic the credentials and resulting token are kept in the vault and never enter the agent's prompt.
Can I post to a community discussion through the API?
Yes. POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/PostToDiscussion creates a new top-level message and POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/ReplyToDiscussion creates a reply on an existing thread. Both require a community key and the message body.
How do I RSVP to an event programmatically?
Call POST /api/v2.0/Events/RSVPToEvent with the event identifier and a response value. Discover events first via GET /api/v2.0/Events/GetUpcoming or GET /api/v2.0/Events/GetEvent for a specific event.
Can I send direct messages between members?
Yes. POST /api/v2.0/Messaging/SendMessageToContact sends a private message to another contact, and GET /api/v2.0/Messaging/GetInboxMessages returns the authenticated user's inbox. Messages are scoped to the calling user, so the bearer token determines what is visible.
How do I post to a Higher Logic community through Jentic?
Run pip install jentic, then await client.search('post to a higher logic discussion'), load the matching operation schema, and execute it. The underlying call is POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/PostToDiscussion with the community key and message body you supply at runtime.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Higher Logic API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Higher Logic operations and credentials the agent can use, so you grant only the endpoints it needs, such as POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/PostToDiscussion and GET /api/v2.0/Events/GetUpcoming. Operations you leave out, like POST /api/v2.0/Discussions/ReplyToDiscussion or POST /api/v2.0/Events/RSVPToEvent, stay unavailable to the agent. The bearer token is injected at execution time under your control and never reaches the agent's prompt.
