For Agents
Programmatically createlink, updatelink. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to createlink, I want to updatelink, Search for deletelink, List all records from Short Menu API
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Short Menu 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# 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 Short Menu API API.
createLink
updateLink
deleteLink
Query and filter Short Menu API records by parameters
Monitor Short Menu API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for developer tools only.
Short Menu URL shortening API for creating, updating, and deleting short links. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Patterns agents use Short Menu API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the Short Menu API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including createlink, updatelink, deletelink.
Call POST /links to createlink
Automated links Management
Automate links operations by combining multiple Short Menu API endpoints. Agents can updatelink and then deletelink in a single workflow.
Call PUT /links/{id} to updatelink, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Short Menu 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 'createlink', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Short Menu 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., 'createlink') and Jentic returns the matching Short Menu API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Short Menu 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 Short Menu API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Short Menu API use?
The Short Menu 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 createlink with the Short Menu API?
Yes. Use the POST /links endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Short Menu 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 createlink through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'createlink'. Jentic returns the matching Short Menu API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Short Menu API have?
The Short Menu API exposes 3 endpoints covering links operations.
