For Agents

Search a 7,000+ API catalogue by intent, load operation schemas, and execute calls — plus manage agent identities, vaulted credentials, sandboxes, and workflow runs.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Jentic API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Jentic 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Step 2: Agent machine

# 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 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.

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Jentic API.

Search the public API registry by natural-language intent and receive ranked operation matches

Load operation and workflow schemas on demand so agents can call them without scraping vendor docs

Execute API calls and Arazzo workflows through Jentic-managed sandboxes via Workflow Executions

View OpenAPI Document

The Jentic API is the control plane for the Jentic platform: it lets agents and developers search the public API catalogue by intent, load operation schemas, and execute calls against any registered API through a single uniform surface. The 95 endpoints cover agent registration, credential vaulting, sandboxed execution, workflow runs, spec ingestion and validation, registry browsing, search, file uploads, and usage statistics. Authentication supports both bearer tokens (OAuth) and a personal agent API key (ak_*) sent in the Authorization header.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Jentic API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Intent-Based API Discovery for Agents

Agents that need to perform a real-world task (send an email, create a ticket, charge a card) call Jentic search with the natural-language intent and receive ranked API operations with their input schemas. This replaces the 'tell the model about every tool' pattern with on-demand discovery, keeping context windows small and tool catalogues fresh as the registry grows.

POST a search query 'send a transactional email' to the Search endpoint and select the top-ranked operation by score for execution.

Vaulted Credential Management

Production agents need API keys for many vendors without those keys ever entering the LLM context. The Credentials endpoints let an operator vault Stripe, SendGrid, HubSpot, and other secrets per agent, scoped per operation. At execution time Jentic injects the credential into the outbound call so the model only ever sees opaque references.

POST to the agent credential grant endpoint to attach a stripe-test credential to agent_123, then call execute and verify the credential is referenced by id rather than value.

Sandboxed Workflow Execution

Multi-step Arazzo workflows run inside Jentic sandboxes that handle pagination, retries, and rate-limit backoff. A single workflow execution can chain calls across vendors (e.g. create a Stripe customer, log a HubSpot contact, send a SendGrid welcome) without the agent owning any of the intermediate state, and the Workflow Executions endpoints expose status, logs, and outputs.

POST to the workflow execution endpoint with workflow_id=onboard-customer and inputs={email, name}, then poll the status endpoint until completed and return the workflow outputs.

Catalogue Contribution via Spec Ingestion

Vendors and contributors add new APIs to the catalogue by ingesting an OpenAPI document through the Ingest endpoints. Jentic validates, scores, and registers the spec so it becomes immediately searchable by every connected agent. Useful for partners who want their API to be discoverable to the agent ecosystem without joining each individual MCP host.

POST a candidate OpenAPI document to the Ingest endpoint and read the validation diagnostics from the response to confirm successful registration.

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

Jentic itself is the agent integration. Agents start by validating their api key against /api/v1/agents/validate-key, then issue search and execute calls for any downstream vendor. Sign up at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up to get an ak_* personal agent key.

Run pip install jentic, set JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY=ak_..., and call validate-key to confirm the agent identity, then issue a search to confirm catalogue access.

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Jentic agent keys (ak_*) are scoped to a single agent identity. Vaulted vendor credentials are attached per-agent and injected at execute time so an LLM never sees raw Stripe/SendGrid/etc. secrets in its prompt.

Intent-based discovery

The Search endpoint is the discovery method itself — agents call it with natural language and receive ranked operation matches across the entire registered catalogue.

Time to first call

Building your own agent control plane: weeks. Adopting Jentic: minutes — install the SDK, set JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY, and start searching.

FAQs

Specific to using Jentic API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Jentic API use?

Two schemes: a Bearer token for OAuth-style sessions and a personal agent API key (format ak_*) sent via the X-API-Key header (modeled as APIKeyHeader in the spec). For agent integrations, the api key is the typical choice and is set via the JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY environment variable.

Can I search for API operations by natural-language intent with the Jentic API?

Yes — the Search endpoints accept a natural-language query and return ranked matches with their operation schemas. This is the primary discovery mechanism agents use to pick a tool at runtime instead of being preloaded with thousands of tool definitions.

What are the rate limits for the Jentic API?

Per-agent rate limits are documented at docs.jentic.com and are tied to the plan attached to your ak_* key. Free-tier keys have lower per-minute search and execute quotas than paid plans; check the Stats endpoint to see your current usage.

How do I grant a vendor credential to my agent through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, set JENTIC_AGENT_API_KEY, then POST to /api/v1/agents/grant-credential with the agent_id and the credential reference. After that, search and execute calls for that vendor will inject the credential automatically — the raw secret is never returned to the agent.

Can I register my own API in the Jentic catalogue?

Yes — POST your OpenAPI document to the Ingest endpoints. Jentic validates it, scores its agent-readiness, and adds it to the searchable registry. New specs are typically discoverable to agents within minutes of successful ingestion.

Is the Jentic API free?

Yes for the free tier, which covers most individual-developer usage. Paid plans add higher rate limits, more vaulted credentials, and team management. Sign up at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up to get an ak_* key.
