Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Simkl API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Simkl 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 | sh

Step 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 instance

Jentic 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Simkl API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Analytics Operations

Use the Simkl API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 27 endpoints covering core functionality including get pin for device authentication, check pin status, get access token.

Call GET /oauth/pin to get pin for device authentication

Automated Authentication Management

Automate authentication operations by combining multiple Simkl API endpoints. Agents can check pin status and then get access token in a single workflow.

Call GET /oauth/pin/{user_code} to check pin status, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Simkl 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, bearer tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'get pin for device authentication', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Simkl API apiKey, bearer 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., 'get pin for device authentication') and Jentic returns the matching Simkl API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Simkl 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 Simkl API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Simkl API use?

The Simkl API uses apiKey, bearer authentication. 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 get pin for device authentication with the Simkl API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Simkl 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 get pin for device authentication through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Simkl API have?

The Simkl API exposes 27 endpoints covering authentication, search, movies operations.
