# Ramp API

Ramp provides corporate card and spend management APIs. The API covers accounting, audit logs, bank accounts, and bill management with OAuth 2.0 authentication. The API exposes 21 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically create gl account, list gl accounts. Covers 21 operations with oauth2 authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for finance and accounting only.

## Capabilities

- Create GL account
- List GL accounts
- Get GL account
- Update GL account
- Delete GL account

## Use cases

### Finance and Accounting Operations

Use the Ramp API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 21 endpoints covering core functionality including create gl account, list gl accounts, get gl account.

Example prompt: Call POST `/developer/v1/accounting/gl-accounts` to create gl account

### Automated Accounting Management

Automate accounting operations by combining multiple Ramp API endpoints. Agents can list gl accounts and then get gl account in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET `/developer/v1/accounting/gl-accounts` to list gl accounts, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Ramp 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 oauth2 tokens manually.

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

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Ramp API by hand means implementing its OAuth2 flow and hand-coding requests across its accounting, connections, and custom-fields endpoints. Through Jentic you install once, import the Ramp API from the API Directory, store the OAuth2 credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Ramp puts the resource id in the URL path (`/developer/v1/accounting/gl-accounts/{id}`), so a rule can pin your agent to one GL account: it can read and update that account and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a GL account are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your Ramp OAuth2 credential 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list GL accounts' or 'create a general ledger account', and Jentic returns the matching Ramp operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Ramp API use?

The Ramp API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 create gl account with the Ramp API?

Yes. Use the POST `/developer/v1/accounting/gl-accounts` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Ramp 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 create gl account through Jentic?

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

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

The Ramp API exposes 21 endpoints covering accounting, audit logs, bank accounts operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Ramp operations and credentials the agent may use. Since Ramp puts the resource id in the URL path, such as `/developer/v1/accounting/gl-accounts/{id}`, you can pin the agent to a single GL account so it only reads and updates that account. You also choose the operations it may call, so a destructive one like deleting a GL account is excluded unless you explicitly allow it.
