# Sketchfab API

The Sketchfab REST API provide access to read and write Sketchfab data. Users are authentified with their Sketchfab API Token or OAuth2 credentials. Responses are formatted in JSON. Inputs are in JSON unless specified otherwise. How to make authenticated requests Some endpoints require users to be authenticated. Users can log in with OAuth2 (preferred), or an API Token. When an endpoint requires a. The API exposes 100 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically access Sketchfab API resources. Covers 100 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for identity and authentication only.

## Capabilities

- Access Sketchfab API resources via REST API
- Manage identity auth data programmatically
- Integrate Sketchfab API into automated workflows
- Query and filter Sketchfab API records by parameters
- Monitor Sketchfab API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Identity and Authentication Operations

The API provides 100 endpoints for identity auth operations.

Example prompt: Execute a primary operation against the Sketchfab API

### Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query Sketchfab API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Example prompt: Poll the primary Sketchfab API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Sketchfab 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'sketchfab API', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Sketchfab API by hand means setting up its token in the Authorization header and threading it through each request against the api.sketchfab.com host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Sketchfab from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** You scope the Sketchfab agent by operations: limit it to the operations it needs, such as reading model or account data, and leave out any write operations unless you add them, so the token's reach is set by the operations you allow rather than a resource id in a URL path.
- **Credential handling:** Your Sketchfab token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'look up a 3D model' or 'read my account', and Jentic returns the matching Sketchfab operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Sketchfab API use?

The Sketchfab API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` header. 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.

### What are the rate limits for the Sketchfab 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 use sketchfab API through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'use sketchfab API'. Jentic returns the matching Sketchfab API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Sketchfab API have?

The Sketchfab API exposes 100 endpoints covering models, users, me operations.

### Does the Sketchfab API support pagination?

Pagination support depends on the specific endpoint. Check the endpoint parameters for page, limit, or offset fields. Through Jentic, the operation schema exposes all available parameters so agents can paginate automatically.

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

Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you write the rules that decide which Sketchfab operations and credentials your agent may use. You can scope the agent to only the operations it needs, such as reading model, collection, or account data, and leave out any write operations unless you deliberately add them. The token's reach is set by the operations you allow rather than by any resource in the URL.
