Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Orderful EDI API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Orderful EDI 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%2Forderful.com%2Forderful" | 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%2Forderful.com%2Forderful" | 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 Orderful EDI API.

Submit outbound EDI transactions like 850 purchase orders or 856 ASNs to trading partners via POST /transactions

Track delivery state of an EDI transaction and confirm partner-side approval through GET /transactions/{id}/delivery

Send 997 functional acknowledgments back to trading partners using POST /transactions/{id}/acknowledgment

Pull the inbox of inbound transactions awaiting processing through GET /inbox

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Orderful EDI API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Retail Drop-Ship EDI Onboarding

Suppliers selling through Walmart, Target, or Amazon Vendor Central can use Orderful to exchange 850 purchase orders, 855 acknowledgments, 856 ASNs, and 810 invoices without standing up their own EDI translator or VAN. Orderful handles partner mapping and acknowledgment workflows, and the API lets engineering teams plug EDI directly into ERP or OMS systems.

Submit a POST /transactions with an 856 ASN payload referencing PO 4501234567, then poll GET /transactions/{id}/delivery until status becomes approved.

EDI to JSON Format Conversion

Teams that store data as JSON in their warehouse or order management system can call POST /convert to translate inbound X12 documents into structured JSON, and outbound JSON back into compliant X12. This avoids embedding an X12 parser into application code and keeps validation rules in Orderful.

POST a raw X12 850 string to /convert and parse the returned JSON to extract line items and ship-to address.

Functional Acknowledgment Automation

Trading partners require timely 997 functional acknowledgments confirming receipt of EDI documents. Agents can listen for inbound transactions through GET /inbox, validate them, and POST /transactions/{id}/acknowledgment to send back the 997 within the contractually required SLA window, avoiding chargebacks.

Iterate over GET /inbox results and POST /transactions/{id}/acknowledgment with status accepted for each successfully validated transaction.

Agent-Driven EDI Operations via Jentic

AI agents that handle order operations can send and reconcile EDI documents through Jentic without learning the X12 standard. Jentic exposes Orderful operations by intent (send purchase order, check delivery, acknowledge receipt) and isolates the API key in the vault.

Use Jentic to search 'send an EDI purchase order to a trading partner', load the schema for POST /transactions, and execute with a generated 850 payload.

Key Endpoints

14 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for orderful edi api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Why Jentic?

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

Setup

Wiring the Orderful EDI API by hand means setting up its orderful-api-key header auth and parsing X12 transaction and acknowledgment payloads yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Orderful from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

You choose which Orderful operations the agent may call, so you can limit it to the operations it needs, such as listing transactions or reading a transaction's delivery status, while sending a new transaction or posting an acknowledgment stays out of the allowed set unless you add them.

Credential isolation

Your Orderful 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 'send an EDI purchase order' or 'list recent transactions', and Jentic returns the matching Orderful operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without parsing X12 documentation.

FAQs

Specific to using Orderful EDI API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Orderful EDI API?

Orderful does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Orderful EDI 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 Orderful EDI API use?

The API uses an API key passed in a request header (ApiKeyAuth scheme). Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in the vault and never enters the agent's context - Jentic injects it at execution time.

Can I send an 856 ASN through the Orderful EDI API?

Yes. POST /transactions with the ASN payload identified by transaction set 856 and the relevant trading partner relationship. Status is then tracked through GET /transactions/{id}/delivery.

What are the rate limits for the Orderful EDI API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare numeric rate limits. Orderful's documentation notes throttling on bulk transaction submission - check docs.orderful.com for current per-account limits before running large batches.

How do I convert X12 EDI to JSON through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'convert EDI to JSON', load the schema for POST /convert, and execute with the raw X12 string. The response contains the structured JSON representation Orderful uses internally.

Does the Orderful EDI API generate shipping labels?

Yes. POST /labels generates UCC-128 carton labels tied to an outbound transaction. The label is returned as a printable artifact you can attach to your fulfillment workflow.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Orderful EDI API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Orderful operations and credentials the agent may use. You can allow read-only calls such as listing transactions with GET /transactions or checking delivery status with GET /transactions/{id}/delivery, while write operations like submitting a transaction with POST /transactions or posting a 997 acknowledgment with POST /transactions/{id}/acknowledgment stay out of the allowed set unless you add them. This lets the operator scope exactly what the agent can call against your trading-partner data.

For Agents

Send and receive EDI transactions, track delivery status, and convert between EDI and JSON formats across retail and supply-chain trading partners.

Not supported: Does not handle payment settlement, carrier rate shopping, or warehouse management - use for EDI document exchange and trading partner workflows only.

Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Orderful EDI API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Orderful is a cloud-based EDI platform that connects retailers, suppliers, and 3PLs through a single API for exchanging trading-partner documents such as purchase orders, ASNs, invoices, and acknowledgments. The API exposes 14 endpoints covering transaction lifecycle, delivery tracking, format conversion between EDI X12 and JSON, label generation, and trading partner relationships. It removes the need to operate VANs or AS2 connections by handling routing, validation, and acknowledgments centrally.
