For Agents
Submit automotive credit applications, check their approval status, and look up participating dealers and lenders. Covers 4 operations with apiKey authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the RouteOne 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# 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 RouteOne API.
Submit a buyer's credit application to lenders
Check the approval decision and status of a submitted application
List participating dealers on the RouteOne network
List available lenders for indirect financing
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to submit a credit application for a car buyer, Check whether a credit application was approved, Get the status of a submitted financing application, List all lenders available for a dealer
Not supported: Does not handle payments, vehicle inventory, or CRM — use for automotive credit application submission and lender lookups only.
Submit automotive credit applications to lenders and track their approval decisions. RouteOne is the finance and lending platform that connects car dealers to indirect-lending networks, so a dealer can send a buyer's credit application to lenders and retrieve the decision without leaving their own system. The API exposes 4 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication, covering credit application submission, status checks, and lender and dealer lookups.
Route a financing request to the lenders a dealer works with
Patterns agents use RouteOne API for, with concrete tasks.
★ AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call RouteOne 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 lets a dealer's deal-building assistant submit a credit application and poll its decision programmatically instead of a person re-keying it into a separate lender portal.
Search Jentic for 'submit credit application', load the operation schema, and execute POST /applications with Jentic-managed credentials
Close the Financing Step of a Car Deal
Submit a buyer's credit application to indirect lenders and surface the approval decision inside the dealer's own workflow. The dealer sends the application through POST /applications and polls GET /applications/{applicationId} for an approved, conditioned, or declined decision, keeping the customer at the desk instead of waiting on a callback. This turns the most friction-heavy step of the sale into an automated flow.
Call POST /applications to submit the buyer's credit application, then poll GET /applications/{applicationId} until a lender decision is returned
Power a Lender Marketplace Feature
Show which lenders are available and route a financing request to the right ones. An agent calls GET /lenders to retrieve participating lenders and GET /dealers to confirm dealer enrolment, then submits the application to the lenders that fit the buyer's profile. This turns a manual lender handoff into a working, automated marketplace.
Call GET /lenders to retrieve available lenders, then submit the application to the matching lenders via POST /applications

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
RouteOne 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., 'submit credit application') and Jentic returns the matching RouteOne API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct RouteOne API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using RouteOne API through Jentic.
What authentication does the RouteOne API use?
The RouteOne API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` 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 submit a credit application with the RouteOne API?
Yes. Use the POST /applications endpoint to submit a buyer's credit application to lenders. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
How do I check whether a credit application was approved?
Call GET /applications/{applicationId} with the application's ID to retrieve its current status, such as an approved, conditioned, or declined decision from the lender.
What are the rate limits for the RouteOne API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation at https://developer.routeone.com/ for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I submit a credit application through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'submit credit application'. Jentic returns the matching RouteOne API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call against POST /applications — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the RouteOne API have?
The RouteOne API exposes 4 endpoints covering credit application submission, application status, dealers, and lenders.
