For Agents
Programmatically optimize images by url, optimize a single image synchronously. Covers 3 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 ShortPixel Image Optimization 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.
What an agent can do with ShortPixel Image Optimization API.
Optimize images by URL
Manage crm data programmatically
Integrate ShortPixel Image Optimization API into automated workflows
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to optimize images by url, I want to optimize a single image synchronously, Search for optimize images by file upload, List all records from ShortPixel Image Optimization API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or developer tools — use for crm only.
ShortPixel API for image optimization, compression, resizing, format conversion, and background removal. Supports lossy, lossless, and glossy compression modes. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Query and filter ShortPixel Image Optimization API records by parameters
Monitor ShortPixel Image Optimization API operational status and events
Patterns agents use ShortPixel Image Optimization API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the ShortPixel Image Optimization API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including optimize images by url, optimize a single image synchronously, optimize images by file upload.
Call POST /reducer.php to optimize images by url
Automated Post Reducer.Php Management
Automate post reducer.php operations by combining multiple ShortPixel Image Optimization API endpoints. Agents can optimize a single image synchronously and then optimize images by file upload in a single workflow.
Call POST /reducer-sync.php to optimize a single image synchronously, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ShortPixel Image Optimization 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 'optimize images by url', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
ShortPixel Image Optimization 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., 'optimize images by url') and Jentic returns the matching ShortPixel Image Optimization API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct ShortPixel Image Optimization API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using ShortPixel Image Optimization API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ShortPixel Image Optimization API use?
The ShortPixel Image Optimization API uses an API key passed in the `key` query. 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 optimize images by url with the ShortPixel Image Optimization API?
Yes. Use the POST /reducer.php endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ShortPixel Image Optimization 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 optimize images by url through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'optimize images by url'. Jentic returns the matching ShortPixel Image Optimization API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ShortPixel Image Optimization API have?
The ShortPixel Image Optimization API exposes 3 endpoints covering post reducer.php, reducer sync.php, reducer.php operations.
