Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Podium 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%2Fpodium.com%2Fpodium" | 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%2Fpodium.com%2Fpodium" | 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 Podium API.
Send message
Get message
List conversations
Create contact
Patterns agents use Podium API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
GET STARTED
Use the Podium API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 12 endpoints covering core functionality including send message, get message, list conversations.
Call POST /messages to send message
Automated Contacts Management
Automate contacts operations by combining multiple Podium API endpoints. Agents can get message and then list conversations in a single workflow.
Call GET /messages/{id} to get message, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Podium 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 bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'send message', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Podium API by hand means setting up bearer auth against api.podium.com/v4, then threading message, conversation, and contact ids through its paths yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Podium API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Podium puts the contact, conversation, and message id in the URL path (/contacts/{id}, /conversations/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one conversation or contact. You choose the operations it may call, so a write like updating a contact or sending a message is included only if you add it to the allowed set.
Credential isolation
Your Podium 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 'send a message' or 'look up a contact', and Jentic returns the matching Podium operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Podium API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Podium API use?
The Podium API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. 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 send message with the Podium API?
Yes. Use the POST /messages endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Podium 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 send message through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'send message'. Jentic returns the matching Podium API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Podium API have?
The Podium API exposes 12 endpoints covering contacts, conversations, locations operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Podium API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Podium operations and credentials the agent may use, and Podium puts the contact, conversation, and message id in the URL path (/contacts/{id}, /conversations/{id}), so you can pin the agent to reading a single conversation or contact. You choose the operations it may call, so a write such as sending a message with POST /messages or updating a contact with PUT /contacts/{id} runs only if you add it to the allowed set. Read-only calls like GET /conversations or GET /contacts can stay available while every write stays blocked.
For Agents
Programmatically send message, get message. Covers 12 operations with bearer authentication.
Use for: I need to send message, I want to message, Search for conversations, Find all conversation
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.
