For Agents
Programmatically authenticate and get an api key, generate a new api key. Covers 38 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to authenticate and get an api key, I want to generate a new api key, Search for upload a video file, Find all a video clip
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Skiv 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 Skiv API API.
Authenticate and get an API key
Generate a new API key
Upload a video file
Create a video clip
Update video metadata
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm — use for e-commerce only.
Skiv is a platform to store, manage, search, and share video. Fast, easy, and secure. Built for teams that need video done right. The API exposes 38 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Delete a video
List all videos
Patterns agents use Skiv API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ E-Commerce Operations
Use the Skiv API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 38 endpoints covering core functionality including authenticate and get an api key, generate a new api key, upload a video file.
Call POST /auth/login to authenticate and get an api key
Automated Authentication Management
Automate authentication operations by combining multiple Skiv API endpoints. Agents can generate a new api key and then upload a video file in a single workflow.
Call POST /auth/keys to generate a new api key, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Skiv 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 'authenticate and get an api key', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Skiv 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., 'authenticate and get an api key') and Jentic returns the matching Skiv API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Skiv 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 Skiv API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Skiv API use?
The Skiv API uses an API key passed in the `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 authenticate and get an api key with the Skiv API?
Yes. Use the POST /auth/login endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Skiv 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 authenticate and get an api key through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'authenticate and get an api key'. Jentic returns the matching Skiv API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Skiv API have?
The Skiv API exposes 38 endpoints covering authentication, videos, subtitles operations.
/files/delete/{fid}
Delete a video
/files/videos
List all videos
/files/videos/{svid}
Get a single video
