# Docurex API

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for the Docurex API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Docurex API manages documents and folders in a secure data room. It uploads, updates, downloads, copies, and moves documents, organizes them into folders, and generates one-click download links to share them. It also answers natural-language questions about a document, manages users and contacts, and configures folder notifications and exports.

## For AI agents

Manage documents and folders in a secure data room: upload, download, copy, and move files, generate one-click share links, and ask natural-language questions about a document.

## Scope

Does not handle e-signatures, payment processing, or email campaigns. Use for managing documents, folders, and secure download links in a data room only.

## Capabilities

- List, upload, update, and download documents in a data room
- Organize documents into folders and copy or move them between folders
- Generate one-click download links and send them to recipients
- Ask a natural-language question about a document and get an answer
- Manage users, contacts, and shortcuts in the data room
- Configure folder notifications and export a folder's document list to Excel

## Use cases

### Agent-Managed Data Room

An AI agent handling due-diligence or deal documents can upload files, organize them into folders, and generate secure download links through the Docurex API. Because folders and documents are addressable by id, the agent keeps a data room organized without a user clicking through the web interface.

Example prompt: Upload a document to a folder, then generate a one-click download link and send it to a recipient

### Document Question Answering

Review workflows can ask natural-language questions about a stored document using the Docurex API's document AI operation. The agent sends the question and receives an answer grounded in that document, so a reviewer gets a direct answer without reading the whole file.

Example prompt: Ask a question about a specific document and return the answer

### Folder Organization and Export

Administrators can build and maintain folder structures, copy or move folders, and export a folder's document list to Excel with the Docurex API. This supports keeping large document sets organized and auditable.

Example prompt: Create a folder structure, move a set of documents into it, and export the folder's document list to Excel

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Docurex API by hand means managing its JWT bearer token or OAuth 2.0 flow and juggling document, folder, link, and user operations across a large surface. Through Jentic you install once, import the Docurex API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The Docurex API puts the document and folder ids in the URL path, such as `/folder/{folder_id}`, so a rule can pin your agent to specific folders or documents. You choose which operations it may call, so it can read and download documents while deletion of documents, folders, and users stays out unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Docurex credential 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'upload a document' or 'generate a download link', and Jentic returns the matching Docurex operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference docs.

## FAQ

### Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for the Docurex API?

Docurex does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call the Docurex API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.

### What authentication does the Docurex API use?

The Docurex API accepts a bearer token in the Authorization header, which uses the JWT format, and also supports an OAuth 2.0 flow, per its OpenAPI spec. Through Jentic the credential is stored encrypted by your own Jentic One instance and injected at call time, so it never enters the agent's prompt or logs.

### Can I generate a download link with the Docurex API?

Yes. The Docurex API generates one-click download links for a document and sends them to recipients, and you can list and update the links you own. It also downloads documents directly and exports folders as zip files.

### What are the rate limits for the Docurex API?

The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits for the Docurex API. Check the provider's documentation at https://docurex.com for the current limits that apply to your account.

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

Yes. Document and folder ids travel in the URL path, so a rule can pin your agent to specific folders or documents. Write a rule that allows only the read and download operations, so the agent can retrieve and share documents while deletion of documents, folders, and users stays out unless you add it, and every call it makes is logged.

### How do I upload and share a document with the Docurex API through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'upload a document to a data room' and it returns the matching Docurex operation with its input schema. Import the Docurex API from the Jentic API Directory, store your token once, and your agent can upload a file, place it in a folder, and generate a download link without hand-wiring the token on each request.

### Is there a Docurex API MCP server?

You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the Docurex API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your token once, and your agent calls the document, folder, and link operations. Nothing extra loads into the agent's context until an operation is actually used.
