For Agents

Programmatically read number plates from an image, get api usage statistics. Covers 2 operations with apiKey authentication.

Connect the Plate Recognizer API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Plate Recognizer 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.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

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 | sh

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 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.

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Plate Recognizer 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 'read number plates from an image', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Plate Recognizer API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'read number plates from an image') and Jentic returns the matching Plate Recognizer API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Plate Recognizer API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Plate Recognizer API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Plate Recognizer API use?

The Plate Recognizer API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I read number plates from an image with the Plate Recognizer API?

Yes. Use the POST /plate-reader endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Plate Recognizer 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 read number plates from an image through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'read number plates from an image'. Jentic returns the matching Plate Recognizer API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Plate Recognizer API have?

The Plate Recognizer API exposes 2 endpoints covering recognition, statistics operations.
