For Agents
Manage trade show events, tasks, comments, expenses, and financial rollups in ExhibitDay through 29 endpoints covering full event project CRUD plus reference lookups.
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ExhibitDay 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# 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 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 ExhibitDay API API.
Create, update, and archive trade show events with their dates and locations
Add or close tasks attached to a specific event with assignees and due dates
Post comments on tasks to track project status updates
Record miscellaneous expenses or credits against an event for budget tracking
GET STARTED
Use for: Create a new trade show event with venue and dates, I need to add a task to a specific event for booth setup, Post a status update comment on an event task, Get the total event cost rollup for last quarter
Not supported: Does not handle attendee registration, lead capture at booths, or venue sourcing — use for exhibitor-side event project, task, and expense management only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for ExhibitDay API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for ExhibitDay API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. ExhibitDay is a trade show planning and event project management platform used by exhibit teams to coordinate booths, staff travel, expenses, and tasks across multiple events. The 29-endpoint API covers full CRUD on events, tasks, task comments, miscellaneous expenses and credits, and read access to financial rollups and reference data (cost centers, custom fields, participation types, tags). Built for syncing event project data into BI tools, internal dashboards, and finance systems.
Pull aggregated event cost rollups for finance reporting
Look up reference data (cost centers, event tags, custom fields) used in event records
Patterns agents use ExhibitDay API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Trade Show Project Sync to BI
Sync ExhibitDay event, task, and expense data into a business intelligence warehouse so leadership can see exhibit program ROI in the same dashboard as marketing-attribution and pipeline data. The 29 endpoints cover full event CRUD plus financial aggregates needed for cost-per-show and cost-per-lead analysis.
GET /v1/events/ to enumerate active events, then GET /v1/financials/event_costs to pull rollups and write both to the warehouse
Cross-Show Task Tracking
Run an ops dashboard that lists all open tasks across every trade show in a given quarter, with comments showing the latest status. Pull tasks by event, fetch their comments, and surface anything overdue. Replaces email and spreadsheet chasing with a single canonical view.
GET /v1/tasks/ filtered to status=open and due in the next 14 days, then GET /v1/tasks/comments for the most recent comment on each
Event Budget Reconciliation
Reconcile post-show budgets by recording every miscellaneous expense and credit (booth cleaning, last-minute shipping, hotel adjustments) against the event, then pulling the financial rollup against the original budget line. Closes the gap between project management and finance for exhibit programs.
POST /v1/events/miscexpensecredit with amount and cost type for the event, then GET /v1/financials/event_costs to confirm the rollup updated
AI Agent Event Updates via Jentic
An AI ops agent monitoring upcoming shows can call ExhibitDay through Jentic to add tasks ("book travel for booth lead"), post comments after team check-ins, and flag overdue items. Jentic isolates the api_key header and exposes the 29 operations with schemas, so the agent only needs the event ID and a clear intent.
Search Jentic for 'add a task to a trade show event', load the POST /v1/tasks/ schema, and execute with the eventId, task title, and due date
29 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for exhibitday api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
The api_key header is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped tool access — the raw key never enters the agent's context window.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent like 'add a task to a trade show event' and Jentic returns the matching ExhibitDay operation with its input schema, ready to execute.
Time to first call
Direct ExhibitDay integration: 1-2 days to map the 29 endpoints, set up auth, and add reference-data lookups. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Cvent
Enterprise event management platform with broader scope (registration, venue sourcing) but heavier setup
Choose Cvent when the program needs registration management, large venue sourcing, or attendee marketing; choose ExhibitDay when the focus is exhibitor-side booth and team logistics.
HubSpot
CRM that captures leads from a trade show booth and ties them back to the event in ExhibitDay
Use HubSpot alongside ExhibitDay when you need to attribute pipeline created at a booth back to the show, syncing eventId tags between the systems.
Salesforce
Enterprise CRM for tracking opportunities sourced from trade show participation
Use Salesforce alongside ExhibitDay when sales teams need exhibit-sourced opportunities visible in their pipeline reporting.
Specific to using ExhibitDay API API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for ExhibitDay API?
ExhibitDay does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call ExhibitDay API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the ExhibitDay API use?
ExhibitDay uses an API key passed in the api_key request header. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the vault and injected at call time so it never enters agent context.
Can I create and update tasks on an event via the API?
Yes. POST /v1/tasks/ creates a task tied to an event, PATCH /v1/tasks/ updates fields like assignee or due date, and DELETE /v1/tasks/ removes it. Use GET /v1/tasks/info for the schema of available task fields.
How do I pull a financial rollup for a specific show?
Call GET /v1/financials/event_costs with the event ID. It returns the aggregated cost across budget lines and miscellaneous expenses recorded via /v1/events/miscexpensecredit, ready for finance reporting.
How do I add a task to an event through Jentic?
Run pip install jentic, then search 'add a task to a trade show event'. Jentic returns the POST /v1/tasks/ operation with its schema. Execute with the event ID, title, and due date and Jentic handles the api_key header.
Are reference values (cost centers, tags) hard-coded or fetched dynamically?
They are fetched dynamically. Use GET /v1/references/cost_centers, /v1/references/event_tags, /v1/references/event_custom_fields, and the other reference endpoints to enumerate the valid values configured for your account before posting events or tasks.
/v1/events/miscexpensecredit
Record a miscellaneous expense or credit on an event
/v1/financials/event_costs
Get aggregated event cost rollup
