Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the IEX Cloud API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the IEX Cloud 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%2Fiexcloud.io%2Fiexcloud" | sh

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%2Fiexcloud.io%2Fiexcloud" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use IEX Cloud API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Portfolio Quote Dashboard

Power a portfolio dashboard that displays live quotes, day change, and key stats for a watchlist of equities. The batch endpoint at /stock/{symbol}/batch lets one call return quote, news, and stats together, minimising request count and IEX message-credit consumption. Designed for retail investing apps, internal trading dashboards, and AI portfolio assistants.

Call /stock/{symbol}/batch for ['AAPL','MSFT','GOOGL'] requesting types=quote,news,stats and surface the results in a summary.

Historical Backtesting Data

Pull adjusted historical prices for backtesting trading strategies. The /stock/{symbol}/chart/{range} endpoint returns OHLCV data over ranges from 1 day to multi-year, with optional intraday granularity. Quants and AI agents use it to score strategy hypotheses before deploying capital.

Fetch /stock/TSLA/chart/1y and compute the 50-day moving average from the close prices.

Fundamentals and Earnings Research

Build automated equity research workflows that ingest income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements per ticker. Combined with /stock/{symbol}/stats and news, an agent can generate a one-page company brief for any covered symbol in seconds.

Pull income, balance-sheet, and cash-flow statements for MSFT and summarise year-over-year revenue growth.

AI Agent Market Briefing

An AI agent surfaces a daily market briefing for a user's holdings: latest price, day move, recent news, and key stats. Through Jentic, the agent discovers the IEX batch operation in one search and pipes the response into the briefing template, with the API key kept in your Jentic One instance.

Use Jentic to call /stock/{symbol}/batch for the user's 5 holdings and produce a one-paragraph daily briefing per ticker.

Key Endpoints

42 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for iex cloud api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring IEX Cloud by hand means passing its token as a query parameter, choosing between the production cloud host and the sandbox host, and building each stock path yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the IEX Cloud API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

IEX Cloud puts the ticker symbol in the URL path (/stock/{symbol}/quote, /stock/{symbol}/financials), so a rule can pin your agent to the read operations it needs for a symbol, such as quotes, charts, and company stats. Because you choose the allowed operations, the agent only ever reads market data you have named.

Credential isolation

Your IEX Cloud token 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 'get a stock quote' or 'pull historical prices', and Jentic returns the matching IEX Cloud operation with its parameter schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using IEX Cloud API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for IEX Cloud API?

IEX Cloud does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call IEX Cloud 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 IEX Cloud API use?

IEX Cloud uses an API token passed as a query parameter. Through Jentic, the token is held in the vault and injected at execution time, so the agent never sees the raw key.

Can I get historical stock prices with the IEX Cloud API?

Yes. GET /stock/{symbol}/chart/{range} returns historical OHLCV data; ranges include 1d, 1m, 3m, 6m, ytd, 1y, 2y, 5y, max, with optional intraday granularity.

What are the rate limits for the IEX Cloud API?

IEX Cloud meters usage by message credits per response payload rather than fixed RPS. Each plan has a monthly credit allowance, and the response headers report consumed credits - handle 429 by upgrading the plan or batching requests.

Is there a sandbox for testing IEX Cloud calls?

Yes. The spec lists https://sandbox.iexapis.com/stable as a server. Use it during development to avoid consuming production message credits; data is scrambled for safety.

How do I fetch a portfolio's quotes through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search 'get a stock quote', load the schema for /stock/{symbol}/batch, and execute with the comma-separated symbols list and types=quote,news,stats.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the IEX Cloud API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which IEX Cloud operations and credentials the agent may use. IEX Cloud puts the ticker symbol in the URL path, such as /stock/{symbol}/quote and /stock/{symbol}/financials, so you can pin the agent to just the read operations it needs, like quotes, charts, and company stats, and no others. Since the API token is injected only at execution time and you choose the allowed operations, the agent only ever reads the market data you have named.
