Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Owler to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Owler, 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%2Fowler.com%2Fowler-main" | 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%2Fowler.com%2Fowler-main" | 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.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Owler API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Competitive Intelligence Research
Identify and monitor competitors for any company using the competitor endpoints. The API returns competitor lists by company ID or website URL, with premium endpoints providing deeper competitive intelligence including market positioning data. Agents can build competitive landscapes programmatically without manual research.
Retrieve the competitor list for company ID 12345 using the /v1/company/competitor/id endpoint and return the top 5 competitors with their company names
Company Data Enrichment
Enrich CRM records or lead databases with firmographic data by looking up companies via their website URL or name. The API returns revenue estimates, employee counts, founding dates, headquarters locations, and industry classifications. Basic search supports exact matching while fuzzy search handles partial or misspelled company names.
Look up the company at website 'salesforce.com' using /v1/company/url/{website} and extract the revenue, employee count, and industry classification
Company News Monitoring
Track news and blog mentions for specific companies by pulling their feed data. The API supports querying feeds by company ID or website URL, returning recent news items, press releases, and blog posts associated with the organization. Useful for sales teams monitoring prospect activity or analysts tracking market developments.
Fetch the news feed for the company at website 'stripe.com' using /v1/feed/url and return the 3 most recent news items
AI Agent Company Research via Jentic
AI agents can discover and call Owler endpoints through Jentic to automate company research workflows. An agent searching for competitor data receives the matching Owler operation with its input schema, executes the call with Jentic-managed credentials, and returns structured company intelligence without direct API key management.
Search Jentic for 'find competitors of a company', load the Owler competitor endpoint schema, and execute a competitor lookup for company ID 67890

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Owler by hand means placing your access key in the custom user_key header on every company-intelligence call and paging feed and search results yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Owler API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Owler puts the company id in the URL path (/v1/company/id/{companyId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one company for reads like its profile, competitors, or premium detail. You choose the operations it may call, so broad search or fuzzy-search operations are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Owler user_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 competitors for a company' or 'look up a company profile', and Jentic returns the matching Owler operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Owler API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Owler API use?
The Owler API uses an API key passed in the request header as `user_key`. Through Jentic, this key is stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and agents receive scoped access tokens without the raw key entering their context.
Can I find competitors for a company using the Owler API?
Yes. Use the /v1/company/competitor/id/{companyId} or /v1/company/competitor/url/{website} endpoints to retrieve competitor lists. Premium competitor endpoints provide additional competitive intelligence detail including deeper relationship data.
What is the difference between basic and premium company endpoints?
Basic endpoints like /v1/company/id/{companyId} return core firmographic data including name, website, industry, and employee count. Premium endpoints at /v1/companypremium/id/{companyId} return extended data with additional fields such as detailed revenue breakdowns and deeper organizational information.
How do I search for a company when I only have a partial name?
Use the /v1/company/fuzzysearch endpoint which accepts partial company names, addresses, or phone numbers and returns best-match results. For exact matches on ticker symbols, website URLs, or full names, use /v1/company/search instead.
How do I retrieve company news through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'get company news feed', load the returned operation schema for /v1/feed/url, and execute with the target company website. Install with pip install jentic and authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, to get your API key.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Owler API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Owler operations and credentials the agent can use. Since Owler carries the company id in the URL path, such as /v1/company/id/{companyId}, you can pin the agent to a single company for reads like its profile, competitors, or premium detail. You also choose the exact operations it may call, so broad /v1/company/search or /v1/company/fuzzysearch stay off limits unless you add them.
