Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ProxyPics 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%2Fproxypics.com%2Fproxypics" | 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%2Fproxypics.com%2Fproxypics" | 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 ProxyPics API.
Order a property photo request for an address from a template token, or with your own task list on the crowdsource or direct platform
Approve submitted photos, or reject them with a reason such as blurry_photo, wrong_direction, or incorrect_property
Extend a photo request's expires_at, duplicate an existing order, or cancel one that is no longer needed
Create appraisal requests of type AutomatedValuationRequest, EvaluationRequest, or AppraisalFormRequest and approve the result
GET STARTED
Send and read messages on a photo request to talk to the assigned data collector
Register GET or POST webhooks and toggle which order events notify your company
Patterns agents use ProxyPics API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Agent-managed property photo orders
An AI agent working a lending or insurance queue can order a ProxyPics photo request for each property address, watch its status, and review the result. When photos come back it approves them, or rejects them with a reason from the API's list such as blurry_photo or people_in_photo so the collector can retake them, keeping the file moving without a human opening the web app.
Create a photo request for address 12 Main St, Springfield, IL with a template_token and loan_number LN-4471, then approve it once its status shows completed
Automated valuation and BPO ordering
Lenders and servicers order a value opinion alongside photos. The appraisal-requests operations take an address and a type of AutomatedValuationRequest for an AVM, EvaluationRequest for a simple BPO, or AppraisalFormRequest for a BPO with adjustments, with an optional report_provider of ca or quantarium, then return the request for review and approval.
Create an appraisal request with type AutomatedValuationRequest and report_provider quantarium for 40 Oak Ave, Austin, TX
Order event webhooks
Instead of polling, an integration registers a webhook URL with a get or post method and optional basic-auth username and password. ProxyPics then sends events such as PhotoRequestAssigned, AppointmentScheduled, and PhotoRequestReportGenerated, and the company settings decide which events trigger a webhook or an email.
Create a webhook with url https://hooks.example.com/proxypics and method post, then list webhooks to confirm it was registered
25 endpoints — the proxypics api orders on-site property photo requests, which a crowdsourced data collector or the property owner fulfils, and lets you approve or reject the submitted photos.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring ProxyPics by hand means choosing between its x-api-key header and api_key query parameter, switching between the live and sandbox hosts, and building the photo request body with either a template_token or a task list. Through Jentic you install once, import ProxyPics from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
ProxyPics puts the photo request id in the URL path (/photo-requests/{id}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one order and the operations you pick. You choose the operations it may call, so ones like creating paid orders, cancelling requests, or creating API keys are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your ProxyPics 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 'order property photos' or 'reject inspection photos', and Jentic returns the matching ProxyPics operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without reading the reference docs.

Specific to using ProxyPics API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ProxyPics API use?
The ProxyPics API authenticates with an API key, which its OpenAPI spec lets you send either in the x-api-key header or as the api_key query parameter. You generate keys on the Integrations tab of your ProxyPics profile. Through Jentic the key is stored once and injected at call time, so it never appears in your agent's prompt or logs.
Can I reject photos and ask for a retake with the ProxyPics API?
Yes. PUT /photo-requests/{id}/reject takes a required reason from a set including blurry_photo, wrong_direction, incorrect_property, people_in_photo, and property_not_visible, plus an optional clarification for the collector. PUT /photo-requests/{id}/approve accepts the photos instead.
What are the rate limits for the ProxyPics API?
The OpenAPI spec does not specify rate limits for the ProxyPics API. Check the ProxyPics API reference at https://app.swaggerhub.com/apis-docs/proxypics/proxypics-api/1.0.0 for current limits before bulk ordering.
How do I order a property photo request with the ProxyPics API through Jentic?
Search Jentic for 'order property photos', which returns POST /photo-requests with its input schema, then send the required address along with a template_token, or a photo_request_platform and tasks list if you have no template. To run it on your own infrastructure, install Jentic One from its GitHub repo.
Is there a sandbox for testing the ProxyPics API?
Yes. The spec lists a sandbox server on the sandbox.proxypics.com host, a separate ProxyPics instance where requests are never completed by real collectors and you can simulate submission, approval, and rejection. It needs its own account and API key from sandbox-app.proxypics.com.
Is there a ProxyPics MCP server?
You don't need an MCP server to give your agent the ProxyPics API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import it, store your credential once, and your agent calls it, with operations found on demand instead of a full tool list loaded into context.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the ProxyPics API?
Yes. Write a rule that allows only listing and showing photo requests plus the approve and reject operations, so the agent can review submitted photos but cannot place new paid orders, create API keys, or change company settings, and every call it makes is logged.

For Agents
Order property photo requests by address, extend or cancel them, and approve or reject the submitted photos with a reason. Also creates AVM and BPO appraisal requests and manages webhooks and API keys.
Use for: I need to order exterior photos of 12 Main St for a loan file, Reject the photos on request 5521 because the property is not visible, Extend the photo request deadline by two days, Check whether the photo request for this address has been completed
Not supported: Does not handle property listing search, title records, or full licensed appraisals by itself. Use for ordering and reviewing on-site property photo and valuation requests only.
The ProxyPics API orders on-site property photo requests, which a crowdsourced data collector or the property owner fulfils, and lets you approve or reject the submitted photos. It also creates appraisal requests such as automated valuations and BPOs, exchanges messages on an order, and registers webhooks for events like assignment, completion, and report generation. A separate sandbox instance at sandbox.proxypics.com lets you simulate photo submission and review before ordering live.
