Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the LightBox Renewable Energy API to your agent

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

Search US properties by address, owner, or location bounding box for renewable-energy site selection

Use Cases

Patterns agents use LightBox Renewable Energy API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Solar Site Feasibility

Score US properties for rooftop or ground-mount solar feasibility by combining solar potential, energy profile, and parcel data. The /properties/{propertyId}/solar-potential endpoint returns site-level irradiance and array sizing inputs. Solar developers replace days of GIS work with API-level scoring in minutes.

Fetch solar potential for property ID 'prop-9981' and report estimated annual generation

Utility-Scale Land Sourcing

Search parcels by location and zoning attributes to identify candidate sites for utility-scale solar or wind projects. The /parcels endpoint exposes parcel boundaries and ownership so origination teams can build a long-list of candidate sites without GIS infrastructure.

Search parcels in county 'Kern, CA' with parcel size over 100 acres and return ownership records

Energy Profile Lookups for Underwriting

Project finance and underwriting workflows need consistent energy-profile data per property. The /properties/{propertyId}/energy-profile endpoint returns profile attributes consumable by financial models. Replaces manual utility-bill collection with API-level data.

Pull the energy profile for property ID 'prop-2233' and forward it to the underwriting model

AI Agent Site-Selection Assistant

An AI agent uses Jentic to search properties, score solar potential, and identify candidate parcels in a target US county. The agent composes the property-search and solar-potential endpoints to produce a ranked shortlist. Credentials are isolated through Jentic so the LightBox API key never enters the agent's prompt.

Search Jentic for 'find properties with high solar potential', load the property-search and solar-potential schemas, and produce a top-10 ranked shortlist

Key Endpoints

5 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for lightbox renewable energy api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

LightBox API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic MAXsystem vault. Agents receive scoped execution credentials per call — the raw X-API-Key never appears in agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'find properties with high solar potential') and Jentic returns the matching LightBox operation across the 5 endpoints with the full schema and required header.

Time to first call

Direct LightBox integration: 1-2 days for auth, pagination handling, and response parsing. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using LightBox Renewable Energy API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for LightBox Renewable Energy API?

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

It uses an API key supplied in the X-API-Key header. Through Jentic, the API key is stored in the MAXsystem vault and injected per request — the raw key never enters the agent's prompt or memory.

Can I get solar potential for any US property?

Solar potential is available via /properties/{propertyId}/solar-potential for properties in LightBox's coverage. First call /properties to resolve an address or owner to a property ID, then request solar potential by that ID.

What are the rate limits for the LightBox Renewable Energy API?

Rate limits vary by LightBox subscription tier and are not encoded in the spec. Production accounts typically get higher per-minute quotas; on HTTP 429 the agent should back off and retry with exponential delay.

How do I score a property for solar feasibility through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic with 'get solar potential for a property' to retrieve the /properties/{propertyId}/solar-potential operation schema. Execute it with the property ID; Jentic handles the X-API-Key automatically.

Is the LightBox Renewable Energy API free?

No. LightBox sells subscription access to its property and renewable-energy datasets. Pricing depends on coverage and call volume; contact LightBox for a quote.
