AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ScrapingDog 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 'scrape web page (post)', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
ScrapingDog 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., 'scrape web page (post)') and Jentic returns the matching ScrapingDog API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct ScrapingDog API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using ScrapingDog API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ScrapingDog API use?
The ScrapingDog API uses an API key passed in the `api_key` query. 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 scrape web page (post) with the ScrapingDog 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 ScrapingDog 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 scrape web page (post) through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'scrape web page (post)'. Jentic returns the matching ScrapingDog API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
