Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Pirate Weather 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%2Fpirateweather.net%2Fpirateweather" | shStep 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%2Fpirateweather.net%2Fpirateweather" | 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.
What an agent can do with Pirate Weather API.
Retrieve current conditions and multi-day forecasts for any coordinate pair
Query historical weather data for past dates at specific locations
Access minutely precipitation intensity for the next hour
Pull hourly forecast data including temperature, wind, and humidity
Get daily high/low temperatures, sunrise, sunset, and moon phase data
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use Pirate Weather API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Location-Based Weather Forecasting
Retrieve current conditions, minutely precipitation, hourly forecasts, and daily summaries for any latitude/longitude pair. The forecast endpoint returns temperature, precipitation probability, wind speed, humidity, and UV index data in a single call, suitable for travel planning apps, agricultural tools, or outdoor event scheduling.
Call GET /forecast/{apikey}/45.42,-75.69 to retrieve the current conditions and 7-day forecast for Ottawa, Canada
Historical Weather Lookups
Query past weather conditions for any date and location using the time machine endpoint. Returns the same data structure as the forecast endpoint but for a historical timestamp, enabling weather-dependent analytics, insurance claim verification, or agricultural yield correlation studies.
Call GET /forecast/{apikey}/40.71,-74.01,1672531200 to retrieve weather conditions in New York on January 1, 2023
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Pirate Weather API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get weather forecast', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Pirate Weather by hand means placing your API key directly in the request path, formatting latitude and longitude into the URL, and handling retries yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Pirate Weather from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Pirate Weather offers read-only forecast lookups, so you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as fetching a forecast for a set of coordinates. Because you pick the allowed operations, the agent reads forecasts and nothing else.
Credential isolation
Your Pirate Weather API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected into the request path at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get the weather forecast for these coordinates', and Jentic returns the matching Pirate Weather operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Pirate Weather API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Pirate Weather API use?
The Pirate Weather API uses an API key passed in the `apikey` path. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I get weather forecast with the Pirate Weather API?
Yes. Use the GET /forecast/{apikey}/{latitude},{longitude} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Pirate Weather API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I get weather forecast through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get weather forecast'. Jentic returns the matching Pirate Weather API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Pirate Weather API have?
The Pirate Weather API exposes 2 endpoints covering forecast operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Pirate Weather API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you set the rules that decide which Pirate Weather operations your agent can call, and you store the API key in your own instance so it never reaches the agent's context. The Pirate Weather API offers only read-only lookups, so you can allow just the forecast call, GET /forecast/{apikey}/{latitude},{longitude}, while withholding the historical time machine lookup, GET /forecast/{apikey}/{latitude},{longitude},{time}. With the allowed operations pinned to what the task needs, the agent reads the forecasts you permit and nothing else.
For Agents
Programmatically get weather forecast, get historical weather data. Covers 2 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to get a weather forecast for specific coordinates, Retrieve historical weather data for a past date and location, Check current weather conditions at a latitude and longitude, Get hourly precipitation forecast for a location
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for data enrichment only.
