For Agents
List properties and calendars, read reservations and guest message threads, send guest messages, and read and respond to reviews across 12 endpoints.
Use for: list all my rental properties, read the calendar for a property, block dates on a property calendar, fetch the details of a reservation
Not supported: Manages properties, calendars, reservations, guest messages, and reviews. Does not process payments, charge guests, or handle host payouts.
The Hospitable Public API reads and manages short-term rental operations: it lists properties and their calendars, retrieves reservations and the guest message threads attached to them, sends messages back to guests, and reads and responds to reviews. It follows REST conventions and authenticates with a Bearer token, so an agent can run day-to-day host operations across a portfolio of listings.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Hospitable Public 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%2Fhospitable.com%2Fhospitable" | 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%2Fhospitable.com%2Fhospitable" | 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 Hospitable Public API.
List properties and search across a rental portfolio
Read and update a property's availability calendar
Retrieve reservations and their details
Read guest message threads and send replies on a reservation
Read reviews for a property and respond to them
Look up the authenticated host account
Patterns agents use Hospitable Public API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Guest messaging assistant
An AI agent reads the message thread on a reservation and sends context-aware replies to guests, handling routine check-in questions across many listings without a host opening each conversation manually.
Read the latest message on reservation ABC123 and send the guest the check-in instructions
Calendar management
An agent reads a property's availability calendar and updates it to block or open dates, keeping availability accurate across a portfolio from a single instruction.
Block the dates from 2026-12-24 to 2026-12-26 on the calendar for property XYZ
Review response
An agent reads new reviews on a property and drafts or posts responses, helping a host keep up with guest feedback across listings.
Fetch the most recent review for property XYZ and respond with a short thank-you note
12 endpoints — the hospitable public api reads and manages short-term rental operations: it lists properties and their calendars, retrieves reservations and the guest message threads attached to them, sends messages back to guests, and reads and responds to reviews.

Setup
Wiring Hospitable by hand means provisioning a Bearer token, attaching it to every request, and paging through properties, reservations, and message threads yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Hospitable Public API from the Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Property and reservation ids are path parameters, so scope by operation and by resource: allow reading calendars, reservations, and guest threads while withholding calendar writes and outbound guest messages, or restrict the agent to one property.
Credential isolation
Your Hospitable Bearer token 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.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent, such as 'read the message thread for a reservation' or 'block dates on a property calendar', and Jentic returns the matching Hospitable Public API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference docs by hand.

Specific to using Hospitable Public API through Jentic.
What can an AI agent do with the Hospitable Public API?
An agent can list properties and calendars, read reservations and their guest message threads, send replies to guests, and read and respond to reviews, covering routine short-term rental host operations.
How do I connect the Hospitable Public API to an AI agent with Jentic?
Import the Hospitable Public API from the Jentic API Directory, store your Bearer token once, and your agent calls the operations it needs. To get started, install the self-hosted Jentic One runtime from its GitHub repository and import the Hospitable Public API from the Jentic API Directory.
What authentication does the Hospitable Public API use?
Requests carry a Bearer token, passed with the Bearer prefix in the Authorization header. Jentic One stores that token encrypted in your own instance and attaches it at execution time.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Hospitable Public API?
Yes. Property and reservation ids are path parameters, so you can scope the agent by operation and by resource: permit reading calendars, reservations, and messages while withholding calendar updates and outbound messages, or confine it to a single property.
Does the Hospitable Public API handle payments or payouts?
No. It manages properties, calendars, reservations, messages, and reviews, but it does not process payments, charge guests, or move host payouts.
