# Rollbar API

Rollbar error tracking and monitoring API. Provides endpoints for managing items, occurrences, deployments, metrics, projects, teams, and users. The API exposes 16 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically test API connectivity, create an item occurrence. Covers 16 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

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

## Capabilities

- Test API connectivity
- Create an item occurrence
- List all items
- Get item by ID
- Update an item

## Use cases

### Analytics Operations

Use the Rollbar API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 16 endpoints covering core functionality including test API connectivity, create an item occurrence, list all items.

Example prompt: Call GET `/status/ping` to test API connectivity

### Automated Deploy Management

Automate deploy operations by combining multiple Rollbar API endpoints. Agents can create an item occurrence and then list all items in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call POST /item/ to create an item occurrence, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Rollbar 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'test API connectivity', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Rollbar API by hand means sending its X-Rollbar-Access-Token header on every request and handling the request plumbing yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Rollbar API from the API Directory, store the access token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Rollbar puts the item id in the URL path (`/item/{id}`), so a rule can pin your agent to reading items and their instances. You choose the operations it may call, so writes like patching an item are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your Rollbar access token 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 recent items' or 'get the instances for an item', and Jentic returns the matching Rollbar operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Rollbar API use?

The Rollbar API uses an API key passed in the `X-Rollbar-Access-Token` 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 test API connectivity with the Rollbar API?

Yes. Use the GET `/status/ping` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Rollbar 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 test API connectivity through Jentic?

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

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

The Rollbar API exposes 16 endpoints covering deploy, instance, instances operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Rollbar operations and credentials the agent may use. Since Rollbar puts the item id in the URL path (`/item/{id}`), you can pin the agent to read-only calls like listing items with GET /items/ and fetching their occurrences with GET `/item/{id}/instances`, while write operations such as PATCH `/item/{id}` stay excluded unless you add them. Your access token is injected only for the operations you have approved.
