For Agents

Hire, onboard, and pay international contractors and EOR employees through Deel — manage contracts, invoices, timesheets, and global payroll across 150+ countries.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Deel REST API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Deel REST 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 Deel REST API.

Create and amend contractor, EOR, and global-payroll contracts via /contracts/gp, /contracts/time-based, and /eor

Approve and adjust contractor invoices and post off-cycle payments through /invoices and /adjustments

Sync HRIS employee records and direct employee data with /hris/direct-employees

View OpenAPI Document

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Deel REST API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The Deel REST API covers global hiring, contracts, payroll, EOR, and contractor operations across 150+ countries. It exposes endpoints for managing contracts (gig, EOR, time-based, global payroll), running invoice and adjustment workflows, syncing HRIS employee data, and orchestrating onboarding for international workforce. The 153 endpoints span people, contracts, invoices, timesheets, time off, candidates, and webhooks, with OAuth scopes that align tightly to each resource group.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Deel REST API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Global contractor onboarding

An operations team needs to onboard contractors across multiple countries with compliant agreements and local payment rails. The Deel REST API creates the contract via /contracts/gp or /contracts/time-based, attaches the worker, and triggers Deel's onboarding workflow including KYC, tax forms, and bank details. The team avoids per-country legal work and gets contractors paid in their local currency within Deel's normal payout cycle.

Create a time-based contract via POST /contracts/time-based for a contractor in Argentina at $40 USD/hour, then attach the worker and trigger the onboarding flow.

EOR hiring and payroll

A growing company wants to hire full-time employees in countries where it has no legal entity. Using POST /eor with /eor/employment_cost to forecast burdened cost, /eor/validations/{country_code} to check local compliance, and /gp/reports/{gp_report_id}/gross_to_net to reconcile payroll, the team runs compliant EOR payroll through Deel without setting up local entities. Onboarding is handled in days rather than the weeks a self-managed entity setup would require.

Call POST /eor/employment_cost with country_code 'DE' and gross salary 80000 EUR to forecast employer cost, then create the EOR contract via POST /eor.

Invoice and timesheet automation

Finance teams need to ingest contractor invoices and timesheets into their accounting system. The Deel REST API exposes /invoices, /timesheets, and /adjustments so an integration can pull approved invoices, download PDFs at /invoices/{invoice_id}/download, and sync to QuickBooks, Xero, or NetSuite. This eliminates manual export and keeps contractor cost data continuously reconciled.

List approved invoices via GET /invoices with status filter, download each PDF from /invoices/{invoice_id}/download, and post matching journal entries to the company ledger.

AI agent payroll operations via Jentic

An AI HR agent handles payroll questions and routine actions for a distributed team. Through Jentic the agent searches for 'create a contract' or 'retrieve a payslip', loads the matching Deel operation, and executes with bearer credentials held in the Jentic vault. The agent can answer 'where is my last payslip?' or 'create a $5,000 milestone for contractor X' without ever holding raw Deel tokens.

Use Jentic to search 'download a payslip', load GET /gp/workers/{worker_id}/payslips/{payslip_id}/download, and return the PDF for the worker's most recent payslip.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Deel bearer tokens and OAuth refresh tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault. Agents receive scoped access to specific operations (e.g., contracts:read) — raw JWTs never enter the agent's context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create a contractor invoice', 'list pending timesheets') and Jentic returns the matching Deel operation across the 153 endpoints with its full input schema, so the agent can call the right path without browsing developer.letsdeel.com.

Time to first call

Direct Deel integration: 3-7 days for OAuth flow, scope mapping, webhook handling, and error retries across 153 endpoints. Through Jentic: under 1 hour to search, load schema, and execute the first call.

FAQs

Specific to using Deel REST API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Deel REST API?

Deel does not publish a maintained OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Deel 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 Deel REST API use?

Two schemes are supported: a bearer token (JWT) generated from Apps & Perks > Developer Center, and OAuth 2.0 authorization code flow against https://auth.deel.com with scoped permissions like contracts:read, payslips:read, and timesheets:write. Through Jentic the bearer token or OAuth tokens are held in the MAXsystem vault and never exposed to agent context.

Can I run global payroll and download payslips with the Deel REST API?

Yes. The /gp/* endpoints cover global payroll workers — update compensation via PATCH /gp/workers/{worker_id}/compensation, manage bank accounts at /gp/workers/{worker_id}/banks, retrieve payslips with GET /gp/workers/{worker_id}/payslips, and pull gross-to-net reports from /gp/reports/{gp_report_id}/gross_to_net. EOR workers have parallel endpoints under /eor/workers.

What are the rate limits for the Deel REST API?

Deel applies per-token rate limits but does not publish exact figures in the public spec. Plan for bursty workloads (invoice sync, payroll close) by paginating, throttling concurrent requests, and respecting any 429 Retry-After headers. Jentic's execution layer handles standard exponential backoff for you.

How do I create a contractor contract through Jentic?

Install with 'pip install jentic', search for 'create a contract for a contractor', and Jentic returns the POST /contracts/time-based or POST /contracts/gp operation. Load the schema, supply contractor details, rate, and currency, then execute. Jentic injects the bearer token automatically and runs validation against Deel's expected request shape.

Can I subscribe to events for contract signatures or payroll runs?

Yes. The /webhooks endpoints let you register a callback URL for events such as contract signed, invoice paid, and timesheet approved. Each subscription targets specific event types and your handler receives the payload over HTTPS, which is the standard pattern for keeping downstream systems in sync without polling.
