Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

ShipEngine 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 account settings') and Jentic returns the matching ShipEngine API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct ShipEngine 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 ShipEngine API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the ShipEngine API use?

The ShipEngine API uses an API key passed in the `API-Key` 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 list account settings with the ShipEngine API?

Yes. Use the GET /v1/account/settings endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the ShipEngine 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 account settings through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'list account settings'. Jentic returns the matching ShipEngine API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the ShipEngine API have?

The ShipEngine API exposes 96 endpoints covering account, addresses, batches operations.
