Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping 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%2Fscrapeninja.net%2Fscrapeninja" | 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%2Fscrapeninja.net%2Fscrapeninja" | 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 ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API.
Non-JS scraping
Scraping with JS rendering
Integrate ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API into automated workflows
Query and filter ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API records by parameters
Monitor ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API for, with concrete tasks.
★ HR and Recruiting Operations
Use the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including non-js scraping, scraping with js rendering, scraping with js rendering (v2).
Call POST /scrape to non-js scraping
Automated scrape Management
Automate scrape operations by combining multiple ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API endpoints. Agents can scraping with js rendering and then scraping with js rendering (v2) in a single workflow.
Call POST /scrape-js to scraping with js rendering, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ScrapeNinja Web Scraping 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 'non-js scraping', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
3 endpoints — high-performance web scraping api with smart retries and proxy rotation, with multiple proxy geos, and with two scraping engines under the hood: high performance engine with chrome browser tls fingerprint, but without javascript execution and real browser overhead; and real chrome browser engine, with js and css evaluation and screenshots, when high performance engine features are not enough.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API by hand means sending your key in the X-RapidAPI-Key header, picking between the apiroad and rapidapi hosts, and building your own retry handling for failed scrapes. Through Jentic you install once, import ScrapeNinja from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
ScrapeNinja takes the target URL in the request body rather than the path, so you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as a plain scrape or a JavaScript-rendered scrape. You choose the operations it may call, and any you leave out stay unavailable to the agent.
Credential isolation
Your ScrapeNinja 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 'scrape a page without JavaScript' or 'scrape a JavaScript-rendered page', and Jentic returns the matching ScrapeNinja operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API use?
The ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API uses an API key passed in the `X-RapidAPI-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 non-js scraping with the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API?
Yes. Use the POST /scrape endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping 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 non-js scraping through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'non-js scraping'. Jentic returns the matching ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API have?
The ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API exposes 3 endpoints covering scrape, scrape-js, v2 operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you run it yourself and your own rules decide which ScrapeNinja operations and credentials the agent may use. You can allow only a plain scrape (POST /scrape) while withholding the JavaScript-rendered scrapes (POST /scrape-js and POST /v2/scrape-js), or any subset you choose, and any operation you leave out stays unavailable to the agent. Since ScrapeNinja takes the target URL in the request body rather than the path, scoping is done at the operation level, and your stored API key is injected at execution time so the agent never handles the raw secret.
For Agents
Programmatically non-js scraping, scraping with js rendering. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to non-js scraping, I want to scraping with js rendering, Search for scraping with js rendering (v2), List all records from ScrapeNinja Web Scraping API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for hr and recruiting only.
High-performance web scraping API with smart retries and proxy rotation, with multiple proxy geos, and with two scraping engines under the hood: high performance engine with Chrome browser TLS fingerprint, but without JavaScript execution and real browser overhead; and real Chrome browser engine, with JS and CSS evaluation and screenshots, when high performance engine features are not enough. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
