# Poemist API

poemist.com/main version 1.0. The API exposes 1 endpoints.

## For AI agents

Programmatically randompoems. Covers 1 operations.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.

## Capabilities

- randompoems
- Access Poemist API resources via REST API
- Access Poemist API resources via REST API

## Use cases

### Developer Tools Operations

Use the Poemist API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including randompoems.

Example prompt: Call GET /randompoems to randompoems

### Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query Poemist API endpoints to retrieve structured data for monitoring, reporting, or downstream processing. The API returns JSON responses that agents can parse directly, enabling automated data collection workflows without manual intervention.

Example prompt: Query the Poemist API API to retrieve current data and verify the response contains expected fields

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Poemist 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 none tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'randompoems', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Poemist API by hand still means coding against its www.poemist.com/api/v1 endpoint and parsing the random-poems response yourself even though it needs no auth. Through Jentic you install once, import the Poemist API from the API Directory, and your agent calls it with no credential to manage.
- **Permission scoping:** The Poemist API exposes a single read-only operation that returns random poems rather than pinning a resource in the URL path, so scope the agent to just that random-poems operation. That one read is the whole allowed set, so the agent can do nothing beyond fetching poems.
- **Credential handling:** This API needs no credential, so there is nothing for the agent to hold; if you later add a secret, your own Jentic One instance stores it encrypted and injects it at execution time. Nothing sensitive enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get random poems', and Jentic returns the matching Poemist operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Poemist API use?

The Poemist API uses no authentication. 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 randompoems with the Poemist API?

Yes. Use the GET /randompoems endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Poemist 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 randompoems through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'randompoems'. Jentic returns the matching Poemist API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Poemist API have?

The Poemist API exposes 1 endpoints covering randompoems operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Poemist API?

Yes. The Poemist API exposes a single read-only operation, GET /randompoems, that returns random poems, so with Jentic One, which you self-host, your own rules decide which operations the agent may call. Scope the agent to just that random-poems operation, which is the entire allowed set, so it can do nothing beyond fetching poems. Because the API needs no credential, there is nothing for the agent to hold, and any secret you later add is stored by your own instance and injected only at execution time.
