Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the RestDB.io REST 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%2Frestdb.io%2Frestdb" | 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%2Frestdb.io%2Frestdb" | 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 RestDB.io REST API.
Create a new document or bulk insert
List all documents in a collection
Get a single document by ID
Replace an entire document
Update specific properties on a document
GET STARTED
Delete a single document
Patterns agents use RestDB.io REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Communications Operations
Use the RestDB.io REST API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 20 endpoints covering core functionality including create a new document or bulk insert, list all documents in a collection, get a single document by id.
Call POST /rest/{collection} to create a new document or bulk insert
Automated Collections Management
Automate collections operations by combining multiple RestDB.io REST API endpoints. Agents can list all documents in a collection and then get a single document by id in a single workflow.
Call GET /rest/{collection} to list all documents in a collection, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call RestDB.io REST 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 a new document or bulk insert', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the RestDB.io REST API by hand means passing your key in the x-apikey header, resolving your database subdomain into the {dburl}.restdb.io host, and managing collection and document calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import RestDB.io REST API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
RestDB.io REST API puts the collection and document id in the URL path (/rest/{collection}/{documentId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one collection: it can read and create documents there and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like document deletion or clearing a collection are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your RestDB.io REST 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 'create a new document' or 'query a collection', and Jentic returns the matching RestDB.io REST API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using RestDB.io REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the RestDB.io REST API use?
The RestDB.io REST API uses an API key passed in the `x-apikey` header. 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 a new document or bulk insert with the RestDB.io REST API?
Yes. Use the POST /rest/{collection} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the RestDB.io REST 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 a new document or bulk insert through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a new document or bulk insert'. Jentic returns the matching RestDB.io REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the RestDB.io REST API have?
The RestDB.io REST API exposes 20 endpoints covering collections, media, metadata operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the RestDB.io REST API?
Yes. Because the RestDB.io REST API puts the collection and document ID in the URL path (/rest/{collection}/{documentId}), a rule in your self-hosted Jentic One instance can pin your agent to a single collection, letting it read and create documents there and nothing else. You decide exactly which operations the agent may call, so destructive ones such as deleting a document or clearing a collection are excluded unless you explicitly add them. Your own rules, enforced by the instance you run, determine which operations and credentials the agent can use at execution time.
For Agents
Programmatically create a new document or bulk insert, list all documents in a collection. Covers 20 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to a new document or bulk insert, I want to all documents in a collection, Search for a single document by id, Find all replace an entire document
Not supported: Does not handle payments, crm, or developer tools - use for communications only.
RestDB.io provides a simple REST API for managing NoSQL cloud database collections, documents, media, and sending emails. The API exposes 20 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
