For Agents
Programmatically create a shipment, list shipments. Covers 23 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 Ship&co Shipping 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 Ship&co Shipping API.
Create a shipment
List shipments
Get a shipment
Delete a shipment
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to a shipment, I want to shipments, Search for a shipment, Find all a shipment
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for developer tools only.
Ship&co API enables you to create shipments, retrieve shipping rates, manage carriers, track packages, and manage addresses and warehouses. The API exposes 23 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

Patterns agents use Ship&co Shipping API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the Ship&co Shipping API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 23 endpoints covering core functionality including create a shipment, list shipments, get a shipment.
Call POST /shipments to create a shipment
Automated Shipments Management
Automate shipments operations by combining multiple Ship&co Shipping API endpoints. Agents can list shipments and then get a shipment in a single workflow.
Call GET /shipments to list shipments, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Ship&co Shipping 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 'create a shipment', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Ship&co Shipping 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., 'create a shipment') and Jentic returns the matching Ship&co Shipping API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Ship&co Shipping 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 Ship&co Shipping API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Ship&co Shipping API use?
The Ship&co Shipping API uses an API key passed in the `x-access-token` header. 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 create a shipment with the Ship&co Shipping API?
Yes. Use the POST /shipments endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Ship&co Shipping 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 create a shipment through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'create a shipment'. Jentic returns the matching Ship&co Shipping API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Ship&co Shipping API have?
The Ship&co Shipping API exposes 23 endpoints covering shipments, rates, carriers operations.
