Pinkbike is the world's largest mountain biking community and marketplace. The API provides access to trail databases, bike reviews, classified listings, photo galleries, forum discussions, and event calendars. Built for bike shops, trail organizations, gear manufacturers, and cycling apps to integrate mountain bike content, marketplace data, and community features into their platforms.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Pinkbike 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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.

Patterns agents use Pinkbike API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Trail Discovery and Trip Planning
Build trail discovery apps and trip planning tools using Pinkbike's comprehensive trail database. The API returns trail locations, difficulty ratings, feature tags (jumps, drops, flow, technical), elevation profiles, and user reviews. Apps can filter trails by region, difficulty, and bike type (XC, trail, enduro, downhill) and display trailhead coordinates, photos, and recent condition reports.
Search for intermediate-level trails within 50km of Squamish, BC that feature flow trails and jumps, then retrieve detailed trail info including GPS coordinates, photos, and recent reviews
Gear Marketplace Integration
Integrate Pinkbike's buy/sell marketplace into bike shop websites, inventory systems, or price comparison tools. The API provides classified listings with bike specs, component details, asking prices, seller location, and photos. Bike shops can monitor market pricing, source used inventory, and automate price alerts for customers looking for specific models.

The API returns review content, numerical ratings, pros/cons, specifications, and community comments. Manufacturers can track sentiment and feature feedback; retailers can recommend bikes based on review scores and use cases.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Pinkbike API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and injected as headers at execution time. Raw keys never appear in agent prompts, transcripts, or response payloads.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent such as 'find mountain bike trails near me' or 'search used bikes for sale' and Jentic returns the matching endpoint with its schema and required parameters.
Time to first call
Direct Pinkbike integration: 1-2 days to model trails, classifieds, reviews, and pagination. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Trailforks API
Comprehensive trail database with GPS tracks and condition reports for all trail sports
Choose Trailforks for detailed GPS track data and offline maps; choose Pinkbike for mountain bike community content, reviews, and marketplace integration
Komoot API
Route planning and navigation for cycling with turn-by-turn directions
Use Komoot for route planning and navigation, Pinkbike for trail reviews and mountain bike-specific features
Specific to using Pinkbike API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Pinkbike API use?
The API uses API key authentication passed as a header (X-API-Key) or query parameter. API keys are obtained by registering an application in the Pinkbike developer portal. Through Jentic, API keys are stored encrypted and injected automatically — they never appear in agent prompts or logs.
Can I search trails by geographic location?
Yes. GET /v1/trails accepts latitude/longitude coordinates and radius parameters to return nearby trails. You can also filter by difficulty level, bike type, features (jumps, drops, flow), and elevation gain. Trail responses include GPS coordinates, trailhead directions, and distance.
What are the rate limits for the Pinkbike API?
The API enforces 1000 requests per hour per API key for read operations (trails, reviews, classifieds) and 100 requests per hour for write operations (comments, ratings). Rate limit headers (X-RateLimit-Limit, X-RateLimit-Remaining) are included in responses.
Can I access user-submitted photos and galleries?
Yes. GET /v1/photos returns photo galleries filtered by trail, event, bike model, or user. Each photo includes URLs for multiple resolutions, captions, tags, and upload date. You can embed photos in your app with proper attribution to the photographer.
Is the Pinkbike API free?
Pinkbike offers a free tier with 10,000 API calls per month for personal projects and open-source apps. Commercial use requires a paid Developer plan starting at $49/month with higher rate limits and priority support. All tiers include access to trails, reviews, and marketplace data.
Can I post classified listings via the API?
Yes, but posting requires user OAuth authentication in addition to the API key. Users must authorize your app to post on their behalf. The API supports creating listings with title, description, price, location, category, and photos. Moderation rules and listing fees apply per Pinkbike's marketplace policies.
