Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Posthook 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%2Fposthook.io%2Fposthook" | 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%2Fposthook.io%2Fposthook" | 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 Posthook API.
Schedule webhook deliveries at exact UTC timestamps, local times with timezone, or relative delays
Configure per-hook retry policies with fixed or exponential backoff up to 15 attempts
Retry failed hooks individually or in bulk using ID lists or time-range filters
Replay completed webhook deliveries to re-trigger downstream processing
Cancel pending hooks individually or in bulk before their scheduled delivery time
GET STARTED
Filter and paginate hook lists by status, scheduled time, and creation date
Patterns agents use Posthook API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Scheduled Reminder and Notification Delivery
Schedule webhook callbacks at precise future times to trigger reminders, notifications, or time-delayed actions. Posthook supports UTC timestamps, timezone-aware local times, and relative delays (e.g., '2h30m'), with each hook carrying an arbitrary JSON payload. Hooks scheduled for past timestamps are delivered immediately.
Schedule a hook to POST to /webhooks/reminder with data containing user_id 123 at postAt 2026-07-01T09:00:00Z
Reliable Webhook Delivery with Retry
Ensure critical webhooks reach their destination by configuring per-hook retry strategies. Choose between fixed-delay and exponential backoff with up to 15 retry attempts, customizable delay (5-60 seconds), backoff factor (1.1-4.0), and optional jitter to prevent thundering herd issues when multiple hooks retry simultaneously.
Schedule a hook with retryOverride set to exponential strategy, 5 minRetries, 10 delaySecs, and backoffFactor 2.0
Bulk Recovery from Webhook Failures
Recover from outages by bulk-retrying failed hooks across a time range or by specific IDs. The bulk retry endpoint accepts up to 1000 hook IDs or a startTime/endTime filter with a limit, and returns the count of affected hooks. Similarly, bulk replay re-delivers completed hooks for reprocessing after downstream fixes.
Bulk retry all failed hooks between 2026-06-14T00:00:00Z and 2026-06-15T00:00:00Z with a limit of 500 using the /hooks/bulk/retry endpoint
AI Agent Webhook Scheduling via Jentic
AI agents use Jentic to discover Posthook operations by intent, such as 'schedule a delayed webhook' or 'retry failed webhooks'. Jentic returns the operation schema with parameters for scheduling modes (postAt, postAtLocal with timezone, or postIn for relative delay), then handles X-API-Key injection for authenticated delivery.
Search Jentic for 'schedule a delayed webhook', load the post_hooks schema, and execute with path '/callback', postIn '1h', and data payload
7 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for posthook api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Posthook API by hand means handling its X-API-Key header and formatting scheduling requests across its UTC, local-time, and relative-delay modes yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Posthook API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Posthook puts the hook id in the URL path (/hooks/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading and scheduling hooks: you choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a hook or bulk cancel are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Posthook API key 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 'schedule a webhook for later' or 'retry failed hooks', and Jentic returns the matching Posthook operation with its scheduling-mode parameters so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Posthook API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Posthook API?
Posthook does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Posthook API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.
What authentication does the Posthook API use?
The Posthook API uses an API key passed in the X-API-Key request header. Through Jentic, this key is stored in the encrypted credential vault and injected into headers automatically so agents never handle the raw key.
Can I schedule webhooks using relative time delays with the Posthook API?
Yes. The postIn parameter accepts a duration string such as '5m', '2h', '1d12h' combining days, hours, minutes, and seconds. The minimum delay is 1 second and maximum is 365 days. This is mutually exclusive with the postAt and postAtLocal parameters.
What are the rate limits for the Posthook API?
Posthook provides quota information in response headers: Posthook-HookQuota-Limit shows your billing period maximum, Posthook-HookQuota-Usage shows current usage, Posthook-HookQuota-Remaining shows remaining hooks, and Posthook-HookQuota-Resets-At indicates when the quota resets.
How do I configure retry behavior for individual webhooks?
Include a retryOverride object when scheduling a hook. Specify minRetries (1-15 attempts), delaySecs (5-60 seconds between attempts), and strategy ('fixed' or 'exponential'). For exponential backoff, set backoffFactor (1.1-4.0), maxDelaySecs (60-3600), and optionally enable jitter to randomize delays.
How do I bulk retry failed hooks through the Posthook API with Jentic?
Install the SDK with pip install jentic, then search for 'retry failed webhooks in bulk'. Jentic returns the post_hooks_bulk_retry operation schema. You can provide either a hookIDs array (up to 1000 IDs) or a time-range filter with startTime, endTime, and limit parameters to select which failed hooks to retry.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Posthook API?
Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted, so you run your own instance and your own rules decide which Posthook operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Posthook puts the hook id in the URL path (/hooks/{id}), you can pin the agent to scheduling and reading hooks, such as POST /hooks and GET /hooks/{id}, while leaving out destructive calls like DELETE /hooks/{id} or the bulk cancel and bulk retry endpoints. Those operations are only available to the agent if you explicitly add them to its allowed set.

For Agents
Schedule webhook deliveries at specific times or relative delays, manage hook lifecycle with bulk retry, replay, and cancel operations, and configure per-hook retry strategies.
Use for: I need to schedule a webhook delivery for a specific time, I want to retry all failed hooks from yesterday, Cancel a pending scheduled webhook, Get the details and status of a specific hook
Not supported: Does not handle webhook receiving, URL verification, or event source management - use for scheduling outbound webhook deliveries only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Posthook API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Posthook API provides scheduled webhook delivery with configurable retry policies. It allows scheduling hooks for delivery at specific UTC timestamps, local times with timezone awareness, or relative delays up to 365 days. The API includes bulk operations for retrying failed hooks, replaying completed deliveries, and cancelling pending hooks, plus per-hook retry configuration with fixed or exponential backoff strategies.
