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
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://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.

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.
Complete Order (Sandbox)
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

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
ShipMonk 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 or update order') and Jentic returns the matching ShipMonk API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct ShipMonk 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 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 the MAXsystem vault 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 at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, 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.
