Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the UK Parliament Lords Votes API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the UK Parliament Lords Votes 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%2Fparliament.uk%2Fparliament-uk-lords-votes" | 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%2Fparliament.uk%2Fparliament-uk-lords-votes" | 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.

Why Jentic?

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

Setup

Wiring the UK Parliament Lords Votes API by hand means pointing a client at its public host, shaping the division search and member-voting routes, and handling pagination yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Lords Votes API from the API Directory, and your agent calls it with no credential to manage.

Permission scoping

The Lords Votes API puts the division id in the URL path (/data/Divisions/{divisionId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one division or to the read-only vote lookups. Since this public API only reads Lords division records, the agent stays limited to retrieval.

Credential isolation

The Lords Votes API is public, so there is no credential to store; Jentic shapes the request and parses the response at execution time. No token ever enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'a peer voting record' or 'Lords division votes', and Jentic returns the matching Lords Votes operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using UK Parliament Lords Votes API through Jentic.

Does the Lords Votes API require authentication?

No. The API is public and open for research and civic use without authentication or API keys.

Can I track how a specific Peer voted across all divisions?

Yes. GET /data/Divisions/membervoting?MemberId={id} returns all divisions the Peer participated in with their vote. Filter by date range or search term.

What is the difference between authoritative counts and member counts?

Authoritative counts are the official counts - teller counts when tellers are present, or member counts when there are no tellers. The API returns both tellerContentCount/tellerNotContentCount and memberContentCount/memberNotContentCount for transparency.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Lords Votes API?

Yes. Because you self-host Jentic One, your own rules decide which Lords Votes operations the agent may call, and this API only reads House of Lords division records, so an agent stays limited to retrieval. Since the division id sits in the URL path at /data/Divisions/{divisionId}, you can pin the agent to a single division or to specific read routes such as /data/Divisions/search, /data/Divisions/membervoting, and /data/Divisions/groupedbyparty. The API is public with no credential, so the agent can never send a token or reach any write action.
