# Seven Time API

Seven Time is a system built around time management. Keep your work time organized with customers, work orders and projects. The API provides access to contact persons, customers, departments, distributors, documents, driver journals, expenses, invoices, machines, machine time logs, price lists, projects, purchase orders, quotes, result units, supplement orders, supplier invoices, time logs, users. The API exposes 93 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically list contact persons, get a specific contact person. Covers 93 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle communications, crm, or developer tools - use for payments only.

## Capabilities

- List contact persons
- Get a specific contact person
- Create a customer
- Update a customer
- Delete a customer

## Use cases

### Payments Operations

Use the Seven Time API to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 93 endpoints covering core functionality including list contact persons, get a specific contact person, create a customer.

Example prompt: Call GET /contactPersons to list contact persons

### Automated Contactpersons Management

Automate contactpersons operations by combining multiple Seven Time API endpoints. Agents can get a specific contact person and then create a customer in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET `/contactPersons/{id}` to get a specific contact person, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Seven Time 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'list contact persons', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring Seven Time by hand means setting the Client-Secret header on every request and handling its customer, invoice, and project calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Seven Time from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Seven Time puts the record id in the URL path (`/customers/{id}`, `/invoices/{id}`), so a rule can pin your agent to reading and updating specific records. You choose the operations it may call, so a customer delete via DELETE is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Seven Time 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list customers' or 'create an invoice', and Jentic returns the matching Seven Time operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Seven Time API use?

The Seven Time API uses an API key passed in the `Client-Secret` 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 list contact persons with the Seven Time API?

Yes. Use the GET /contactPersons endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Seven Time 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 contact persons through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'list contact persons'. Jentic returns the matching Seven Time API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Seven Time API have?

The Seven Time API exposes 93 endpoints covering contactpersons, customers, defaultsalarytypes operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Seven Time API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Seven Time operations and credentials the agent may use. Seven Time puts each record id in the URL path, such as `/customers/{id}` and `/invoices/{id}`, so you can pin the agent to reading and updating specific records. You pick the operations it may call, so a destructive action like DELETE `/customers/{id}` is available only if you explicitly add it.
