Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the RescueTime API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the RescueTime 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%2Frescuetime.com%2Frescuetime-api" | sh

Step 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%2Frescuetime.com%2Frescuetime-api" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic 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.

For Agents

Programmatically retrieve analytic data, retrieve daily summary feed. Covers 12 operations with apiKey, oauth2 authentication.

Use for: I need to analytic data, I want to daily summary feed, Search for alerts feed, Find all highlights feed

Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for analytics only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use RescueTime API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Analytics Operations

Use the RescueTime API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 12 endpoints covering core functionality including retrieve analytic data, retrieve daily summary feed, retrieve alerts feed.

Call GET /api/oauth/data to retrieve analytic data

Automated Alerts Management

Automate alerts operations by combining multiple RescueTime API endpoints. Agents can retrieve daily summary feed and then retrieve alerts feed in a single workflow.

Call GET /api/oauth/daily_summary_feed to retrieve daily summary feed, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call RescueTime 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, oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'retrieve analytic data', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring RescueTime by hand means choosing between its query-string API key and the OAuth2 authorization-code flow, then constructing the /api/oauth feeds against the www.rescuetime.com host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the RescueTime API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

RescueTime addresses its data feeds through operations rather than a resource id in the path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as retrieving analytic data or the daily summary feed. You choose that set, so a write operation like starting FocusTime is not included unless you add it.

Credential isolation

Your RescueTime API key or OAuth credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'retrieve analytic data' or 'get the daily summary feed', and Jentic returns the matching RescueTime operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using RescueTime API through Jentic.

What authentication does the RescueTime API use?

The RescueTime API uses apiKey, oauth2 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 retrieve analytic data with the RescueTime API?

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

What are the rate limits for the RescueTime 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 retrieve analytic data through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the RescueTime API have?

The RescueTime API exposes 12 endpoints covering alerts, analytics, daily summary operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which RescueTime operations your agent can call, so you can allow only the read feeds it needs, such as retrieving analytic data or the daily summary feed, while leaving out everything else. RescueTime addresses its feeds through operations rather than a resource id in the path, so a write operation like starting or ending a FocusTime session is excluded unless you deliberately add it to the agent's allowed set. Your API key or OAuth credentials are stored once by your own instance and injected only for the operations you have permitted.
