For Agents
Programmatically create recipe, list recipes. Covers 5 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to recipe, I want to recipes, Search for recipe, Find all ingredients
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ReciPal 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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 ReciPal API API.
Create recipe
List recipes
Get recipe
Generate nutrition label
Access ReciPal API developer tools resources via REST API
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for developer tools only.
Nutrition label and recipe management API. The API exposes 5 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Patterns agents use ReciPal API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the ReciPal API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 5 endpoints covering core functionality including create recipe, list recipes, get recipe.
Call POST /recipes to create recipe
Automated Ingredients Management
Automate ingredients operations by combining multiple ReciPal API endpoints. Agents can list recipes and then get recipe in a single workflow.
Call GET /recipes to list recipes, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ReciPal 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 apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create recipe', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
ReciPal API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'create recipe') and Jentic returns the matching ReciPal API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct ReciPal API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using ReciPal API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ReciPal API use?
The ReciPal API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I create recipe with the ReciPal API?
Yes. Use the POST /recipes endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ReciPal 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 recipe through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'create recipe'. Jentic returns the matching ReciPal API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ReciPal API have?
The ReciPal API exposes 5 endpoints covering ingredients, recipes, labels operations.
