Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Participate API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Participate is a community-driven learning platform that enables organizations to create branded learning communities, deliver courses, manage enrollments, and track member credentials. The API provides programmatic access to communities, courses, enrollments, memberships, credentials, and invitations, enabling automated learning workflows and integration with HR systems, LMS platforms, and community management tools.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Participate Community Learning API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Participate Community Learning 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%2Fparticipate.com%2Fparticipate" | 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%2Fparticipate.com%2Fparticipate" | 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 Participate Community Learning API.
List and manage learning communities
Retrieve courses and course bundles in a community
Track course enrollments and member progress

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Participate Community Learning API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Community Learning Management
Manage branded learning communities programmatically by retrieving community lists via GET /api/v1/communities, then accessing courses and enrollments within each community. GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/courses returns available courses, while GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/courses/enrollments tracks member participation. Ideal for organizations running multiple learning programs.
GET /api/v1/communities to list communities, then GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/courses to retrieve course catalog
Credential and Certification Tracking
Track learning credentials and certifications earned by community members via GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/credentials/earned. This endpoint returns all credentials awarded within a community, enabling integration with HR systems, professional development tracking, and compliance reporting. Useful for workforce training and certification programs.
GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/credentials/earned to retrieve all credentials, filter by user or date
Automated Enrollment and Invitations
Automate learner onboarding by sending community invitations via POST /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/invite. The endpoint accepts email addresses and optional messages, triggering invitation emails to new learners. Track enrollments via GET /api/v1/courses/{course_id}/enrollments to monitor course participation and completion.
POST /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/invite with user email to send invitation, then track enrollment status
AI-Driven Learning Operations via Jentic
An AI agent managing learning programs can invite members, track enrollments, retrieve credentials, and configure webhooks through Jentic without holding Participate credentials in context. Jentic resolves intents like 'invite learner to community' to POST /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/invite with the appropriate schema.
Search Jentic for 'invite to learning community', load POST /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/invite schema, and execute

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Participate Community Learning API by hand means learning its bearer token auth, setting the api.participate.com host, and building pagination and error handling across communities and enrollments yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Participate from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Participate puts the community id in the URL path (/api/v1/communities/{community_id}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one community: it can read courses, enrollments, and earned credentials there. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like removing a user or sending invitations are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Participate bearer token 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 'track course enrollments in a community' or 'list earned credentials', and Jentic returns the matching Participate operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Participate Community Learning API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Participate API?
Participate publishes API documentation at https://api.participate.com/api/docs but not a structured OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec based on Participate's documentation so that AI agents and developers can call Participate 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 Participate API use?
The Participate API uses Bearer token authentication. Retrieve your API token from your Participate account settings. Through Jentic, the token lives in the encrypted vault and is injected at execution time so it never enters agent context.
Can I track which credentials members have earned?
Yes. Use GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/credentials/earned to retrieve all credentials awarded within a community. This endpoint returns credential details, recipient information, and issue dates, enabling integration with HR systems and compliance tracking.
How do I invite users to a learning community?
Use POST /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/invite with the user's email address and an optional message. Participate sends an invitation email with a join link. Track membership status via GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/memberships.
Can I configure webhooks for enrollment events?
Yes. Use POST /api/v1/webhooks to configure webhook endpoints that receive notifications when members enroll in courses, earn credentials, or join communities. Webhooks enable real-time automation and integration with external systems.
What are the rate limits for the Participate API?
Participate does not publish specific rate limits in their public documentation. Use reasonable request patterns and implement retry logic for rate limit responses. Contact Participate support for account-specific rate limit information.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Participate Community Learning API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Participate operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the community id sits in the URL path (/api/v1/communities/{community_id}/...), you can pin the agent to a single community and allow only read operations there, such as GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/courses, the enrollments endpoint, and GET /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/credentials/earned. Destructive operations like DELETE /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/users/{user_id} or POST /api/v1/communities/{community_id}/invite stay off the list until you explicitly grant them.
