For Agents

Fetch a random movie or TV quote, optionally filtered by show slug or censored, and list which shows are supported.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Movie Quote API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Movie Quote 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%2Fmovie-quote-api.herokuapp.com%2Fmovie-quote-api" | 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%2Fmovie-quote-api.herokuapp.com%2Fmovie-quote-api" | 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 Movie Quote API.

Fetch a random quote via GET /v1/quote/, optionally filtered by show or censored mode

List supported shows via GET /v1/shows/ for show-specific filtering

Read metadata for a single show via GET /v1/shows/{showSlug}

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Movie Quote API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Chatbot Easter-Egg Quotes

A consumer chatbot adds a 'quote me a film line' command that calls GET /v1/quote/ and returns a random movie or TV quote to the user. The censored option keeps output safe for general audiences. Because the API is free and anonymous, the integration cost is essentially zero.

Call GET /v1/quote/?censored=true and return the quote text and source to the user.

Show-Filtered Widget

A fan-site widget displays rotating quotes from a single show. The site lists supported shows via GET /v1/shows/, lets the user pick one, then pulls a random quote scoped to that slug via /v1/quote/?show=. This avoids hard-coding a show list and gracefully handles new additions to the dataset.

Fetch the supported shows list, present them to the user, then fetch a random quote scoped to the chosen show slug.

Tutorial Demo Agent via Jentic

An AI agent built as a tutorial demo searches Jentic for the random quote operation, loads its schema, and executes. Because the API has no authentication, this gives a clean teaching example of the Jentic search-load-execute flow without any vault setup. The agent can then be extended to filter by show or censored mode.

Search Jentic for 'fetch a random movie quote', load GET /v1/quote/, and execute it without parameters.

Why Jentic?

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

Setup

Wiring the Movie Quote API by hand means pointing at its host and matching the shows slug conventions for by-show lookups. Through Jentic you install once, import the Movie Quote API from the API Directory, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

This anonymous API is read-only over quotes and shows, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as fetching a random quote or listing supported shows. You choose the operations it may call, so it stays within read access.

Credential isolation

This API needs no authentication, so no credentials are stored, and your own Jentic One instance still gives the agent a consistent execution surface with input validation. Nothing sensitive enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'fetch a random movie quote' or 'list supported shows', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema, so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Movie Quote API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Movie Quote API use?

The API is fully anonymous - no authentication or API key is required. Through Jentic, calls still flow through the schema-aware execution path, so agents get input validation even without credentials.

Can I filter quotes by show?

Yes. Pass a show slug as a query parameter on /v1/quote/. List the supported shows first via GET /v1/shows/ to pick a valid slug; per-show metadata is available via GET /v1/shows/{showSlug}.

What is the censored mode?

The /v1/quote/ endpoint accepts a censored flag that returns a clean version of the quote, suitable for general-audience surfaces and child-friendly chatbots.

What are the rate limits for the Movie Quote API?

The API is hosted on Heroku and does not advertise hard limits. Treat it as fair-use; cache popular shows lists locally and avoid tight loops against /v1/quote/.

How do I fetch a quote through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search 'fetch a random movie quote', load GET /v1/quote/, and execute it without parameters. Jentic returns the quote payload to your agent.

Is the Movie Quote API free?

Yes. It is a free, open-source service hosted on Heroku and requires no payment or authentication.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Movie Quote API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which of this read-only API's operations the agent may call. The Movie Quote API only reads quotes and shows, so you can allow just fetching a random quote from GET /v1/quote/ while blocking the shows listing at GET /v1/shows/ or the per-show metadata at GET /v1/shows/{showSlug}. It needs no credentials, so the agent stays within the exact read operations you permit and nothing more.
