# SAIB API

Saudi Investment Bank API services. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically get access token, list resources. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for finance and accounting only.

## Capabilities

- Get access token
- List resources
- Integrate SAIB API into automated workflows
- Query and filter SAIB API records by parameters
- Monitor SAIB API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Finance and Accounting Operations

Use the SAIB API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including get access token, list resources, get resource.

Example prompt: Call POST `/auth/token` to get access token

### Automated Authentication Management

Automate authentication operations by combining multiple SAIB API endpoints. Agents can list resources and then get resource in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /resources to list resources, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SAIB 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 'get access token', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| POST | `/auth/token` | Get access token |
| GET | `/resources` | List resources |
| GET | `/resources/{id}` | Get resource |

## Key resources

- **Authentication** — Authentication and authorization
- **Resources** — Resource management

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the SAIB API by hand means exchanging its API key for a token at `/auth/token`, attaching it to each call against api.saib.com.sa, and managing your own retries. Through Jentic you install once, import the SAIB API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** SAIB puts the resource id in the URL path (`/resources/{id}`), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one resource. You choose the operations it may call, so it can list and read resources without any write access unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your SAIB 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get an access token' or 'read a resource', and Jentic returns the matching SAIB API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the SAIB API use?

The SAIB API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` 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 get access token with the SAIB API?

Yes. Use the POST `/auth/token` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the SAIB 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 get access token through Jentic?

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

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

The SAIB API exposes 3 endpoints covering authentication, resources operations.

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

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which SAIB operations and credentials the agent may use. You can allow only the read calls, GET /resources to list resources and GET `/resources/{id}` to fetch one, while withholding any write access. Since SAIB puts the resource id in the URL path, a rule can even pin the agent to a single resource id.
