For Agents
Look up US property and parcel data with solar potential and energy profile lookups via 5 API-key-authenticated endpoints.
Use for: Search for properties in California with high solar potential, Get the solar potential for a specific US property by ID, I need to look up parcel boundaries near a target site, Retrieve the energy profile for a residential property
Not supported: Does not handle solar panel installation, electricity-grid interconnection, or renewable financing - use for US property and parcel data with solar and energy attributes only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for LightBox Renewable Energy API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The LightBox Renewable Energy API delivers parcel and property data tailored to renewable-energy site selection, exposing solar potential and energy profiles for US properties alongside parcel boundaries. Five endpoints cover property search, property detail, solar potential, energy profile, and parcel search. Authentication uses an API key supplied in the X-API-Key header.
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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Flightboxre.com%2Flightboxre" | sh2
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%2Flightboxre.com%2Flightboxre" | 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.
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
Retrieve detailed property records including ownership, size, and zoning attributes
Calculate solar potential for a specific property to support solar-installation feasibility studies
Pull energy-profile data for a property including consumption and generation indicators
Search parcel boundaries to identify land suitable for utility-scale renewable development
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

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the LightBox Renewable Energy API by hand means setting its X-API-Key header, learning which endpoints return property, parcel, solar, and energy data, and calling api.lightboxre.com yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the LightBox Renewable Energy API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
LightBox puts the property id in the URL path (/properties/{propertyId}/solar-potential, /energy-profile) on read-only endpoints, so a rule can pin your agent to reading one property and its solar and energy attributes. You choose the operations it may call, so it stays within the reads you allow.
Credential isolation
Your LightBox API key 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 'find properties with high solar potential', and Jentic returns the matching LightBox operation with its input schema and required header so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

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 with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.
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 your Jentic One instance 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.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the LightBox Renewable Energy API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which LightBox operations and credentials the agent may use. All five LightBox endpoints are read-only GET calls, so you can allow only the reads you want, such as property search on /properties while blocking parcel search on /parcels. Since the property id sits in the path on /properties/{propertyId}/solar-potential and /properties/{propertyId}/energy-profile, you can pin the agent to reading a single property and its solar and energy attributes.
