For Agents
Programmatically get active orders, get order details. Covers 18 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 Shipday 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%2Fshipday.com%2Fshipday" | 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%2Fshipday.com%2Fshipday" | 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 Shipday API.
Get active orders
Edit order
Delete order
Create order
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to active orders, I want to order details, Search for edit order, Find all order
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for analytics only.
Shipday delivery management API for managing orders, drivers, carriers, and tracking. The API exposes 18 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Query orders
Assign order to driver
Patterns agents use Shipday API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Analytics Operations
Use the Shipday API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 18 endpoints covering core functionality including get active orders, get order details, edit order.
Call GET /active-orders to get active orders
Automated Carriers Management
Automate carriers operations by combining multiple Shipday API endpoints. Agents can get order details and then edit order in a single workflow.
Call GET /orders/{id} to get order details, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Shipday 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 'get active orders', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Shipday API by hand means placing your key in the x-api-key header, pointing at the api.shipday.com host, and threading it through order creation and driver assignment calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Shipday API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Shipday puts the order id in the URL path (/orders/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to one order for actions like assign and unassign. You choose the operations it may call, so a destructive one like deleting an order is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Shipday 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 'get active orders' or 'assign a driver to an order', and Jentic returns the matching Shipday operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Shipday API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Shipday API use?
The Shipday API uses an API key passed in the `x-api-key` 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 get active orders with the Shipday API?
Yes. Use the GET /active-orders endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Shipday 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 get active orders through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get active orders'. Jentic returns the matching Shipday API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Shipday API have?
The Shipday API exposes 18 endpoints covering carriers, orders, pickup orders operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Shipday API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you decide which Shipday operations your agent may call, so an operation like DELETE /orders/{id} stays off the list unless you add it. Since the order id sits in the URL path (/orders/{id}), your own rules can pin the agent to a single order for actions such as assign and unassign. The Shipday API key is held encrypted by your instance and injected only at execution, so the agent runs within the exact boundaries you set.
/orders/{id}/assign
Assign order to driver
/orders/{id}/unassign
Unassign order
