Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ShipMonk 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%2Fshipmonk.com%2Fshipmonk" | 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%2Fshipmonk.com%2Fshipmonk" | 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.

GET STARTED
Patterns agents use ShipMonk API for, with concrete tasks.
★ E-Commerce Operations
Use the ShipMonk API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 19 endpoints covering core functionality including create or update order, get order, retrieve list of orders.
Call POST /v1/integrations/order to create or update order
Automated Orders Management
Automate orders operations by combining multiple ShipMonk API endpoints. Agents can get order and then retrieve list of orders in a single workflow.
Call GET /v1/integrations/orders to get order, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ShipMonk 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 or update order', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the ShipMonk API by hand means placing your key in the X-API-Key header, pointing at the app.shipmonk.com host, and threading it through order and receiving calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the ShipMonk API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
ShipMonk takes its order and receiving details in the request body rather than as path resources, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as creating an order or submitting a receiving, and leave out the ones it should not run.
Credential isolation
Your ShipMonk 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 'create or update an order' or 'submit an order', and Jentic returns the matching ShipMonk operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using ShipMonk API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ShipMonk API use?
The ShipMonk 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 create or update order with the ShipMonk API?
Yes. Use the POST /v1/integrations/order endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ShipMonk 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 or update order through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create or update order'. Jentic returns the matching ShipMonk API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ShipMonk API have?
The ShipMonk API exposes 19 endpoints covering orders, products, receivings operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the ShipMonk API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which ShipMonk operations the agent may call and which stored API key it uses. ShipMonk passes order and receiving details in the request body rather than as path resources, so you scope the agent to just the operations it needs, such as creating an order or submitting a receiving, and leave out the ones it should not run.
For Agents
Programmatically create or update order, get order. Covers 19 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to or update order, I want to order, Search for list of orders, Find all submit order
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for e-commerce only.
ShipMonk fulfillment API for managing orders, inventory, products, receivings, returns, and warehouses. The API exposes 19 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
