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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsimkl.com%2Fsimkl" | sh

Step 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%2Fsimkl.com%2Fsimkl" | 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.

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

Key Endpoints

27 endpoints — simkl api for accessing movie, tv show, and anime data.

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring Simkl by hand means combining its simkl-api-key header with a bearer token from the device PIN flow and pointing calls at https://api.simkl.com. Through Jentic you install once, import Simkl from the API Directory, store the credentials once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Simkl search operations carry their query in the request path and query string, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as searching movies or looking up a title by id. You choose the operations it may call, so anything you do not add stays unavailable to the agent.

Credential isolation

Your Simkl api-key and token are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'search for a movie' or 'look up a title by id', and Jentic returns the matching Simkl operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

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 your Jentic One instance 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 through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, 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.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Simkl API?

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you decide which Simkl operations your agent may call and which credentials it may use. Simkl carries its queries in the request path and query string, so you can add only the operations you need, such as searching movies, TV shows, or anime, or looking up a title by external id, and leave everything else unavailable. Any operation you do not add, and the stored api-key and token behind it, stays out of the agent's reach.
