For Agents
Programmatically list printed papers (drucksachen), get a specific printed paper. Covers 16 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 Bundestag 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 Bundestag API.
List printed papers (Drucksachen)
Get a specific printed paper
Integrate Bundestag API into automated workflows
Query and filter Bundestag API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to printed papers (drucksachen), I want to a specific printed paper, Search for printed papers with full text, Find all full text of a specific printed paper
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for developer tools only.
API for accessing documents, proceedings, and parliamentary data from the German Bundestag's Documentation and Information System (DIP). The API exposes 16 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor Bundestag API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Bundestag API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the Bundestag API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 16 endpoints covering core functionality including list printed papers (drucksachen), get a specific printed paper, list printed papers with full text.
Call GET /drucksache to list printed papers (drucksachen)
Automated Aktivitaet Management
Automate aktivitaet operations by combining multiple Bundestag API endpoints. Agents can get a specific printed paper and then list printed papers with full text in a single workflow.
Call GET /drucksache/{id} to get a specific printed paper, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Bundestag 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 'list printed papers (drucksachen)', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Bundestag 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., 'list printed papers (drucksachen)') and Jentic returns the matching Bundestag API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Bundestag 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 Bundestag API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Bundestag API use?
The Bundestag API uses an API key passed in the `apikey` 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 list printed papers (drucksachen) with the Bundestag API?
Yes. Use the GET /drucksache endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Bundestag 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 list printed papers (drucksachen) through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list printed papers (drucksachen)'. Jentic returns the matching Bundestag API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Bundestag API have?
The Bundestag API exposes 16 endpoints covering aktivitaet, drucksache, drucksache text operations.
/plenarprotokoll/{id}
Get a specific plenary protocol
/plenarprotokoll-text
List plenary protocols with full text
/plenarprotokoll-text/{id}
Get full text of a specific plenary protocol
