For Agents

Programmatically instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual, list files and directories in any public git repo. supports fuzzy file search (q. Covers 6 operations.

Quickstart

Get started with searchcode REST API in minutes using your preferred integration method.

# Add to your MCP client config (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf)
{
  "jentic": {
    "url": "https://api.jentic.com/mcp",
    "auth": "oauth"
  }
}

# Then ask your agent:
"instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual"

# → Jentic returns the GET /events tool with parameter schema, agent executes.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use searchcode REST API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the searchcode REST API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 6 endpoints covering core functionality including instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual, list files and directories in any public git repo. supports fuzzy file search (q, get code from a remote public git repository — either a specific function/class .

Call POST /api/v1/code_analyze to instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual

Automated api Management

Automate api operations by combining multiple searchcode REST API endpoints. Agents can list files and directories in any public git repo. supports fuzzy file search (q and then get code from a remote public git repository — either a specific function/class in a single workflow.

Call POST /api/v1/code_file_tree to list files and directories in any public git repo. supports fuzzy file search (q, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call searchcode REST 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 none tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

searchcode REST API none 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., 'instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual') and Jentic returns the matching searchcode REST API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct searchcode REST API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using searchcode REST API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the searchcode REST API use?

The searchcode REST API uses no authentication. 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 instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual with the searchcode REST API?

Yes. Use the POST /api/v1/code_analyze endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the searchcode REST 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 instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'instant repo overview — languages, complexity, file count, tech stack, code qual'. Jentic returns the matching searchcode REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the searchcode REST API have?

The searchcode REST API exposes 6 endpoints covering api operations.
