Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Screenshot Machine 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%2Fscreenshotmachinecom%2Fscreenshotmachinecom" | 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%2Fscreenshotmachinecom%2Fscreenshotmachinecom" | 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 Screenshot Machine API.
Capture a website screenshot
Manage media data programmatically
Integrate Screenshot Machine API into automated workflows
Query and filter Screenshot Machine API records by parameters
Monitor Screenshot Machine API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use Screenshot Machine API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Media and Content Operations
Use the Screenshot Machine API to perform media operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including capture a website screenshot.
Call GET / to capture a website screenshot
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query Screenshot Machine API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.
Poll the primary Screenshot Machine API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Screenshot Machine 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 'capture a website screenshot', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Screenshot Machine API by hand means passing your key in the query string against api.screenshotmachine.com and building your own retry handling for capture requests. Through Jentic you install once, import Screenshot Machine from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Screenshot Machine API exposes a single screenshot-capture operation, so you limit the agent to the operation it needs. You choose what it may call, and nothing else in the directory is reachable unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Screenshot Machine 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 'capture a website screenshot', and Jentic returns the matching Screenshot Machine operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Screenshot Machine API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Screenshot Machine API use?
The Screenshot Machine API uses an API key passed in the `key` query. 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 capture a website screenshot with the Screenshot Machine API?
Yes. Use the GET / endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Screenshot Machine 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 capture a website screenshot through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'capture a website screenshot'. Jentic returns the matching Screenshot Machine API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Screenshot Machine API have?
The Screenshot Machine API exposes 1 endpoints covering screenshots operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Screenshot Machine API?
Yes. The Screenshot Machine API exposes a single screenshot-capture operation (GET /), and because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide whether the agent may call it. You grant access to just that capture operation and nothing else in the API Directory is reachable unless you add it. The stored API key is injected only at execution time for the operations you have allowed.
