SnapShooter provides a REST API for managing cloud backups, including SSH keys, servers, storage, backup jobs, schedules, and restore operations. The API is currently in Alpha status. The API exposes 13 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the SnapShooter API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SnapShooter 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%2Fsnapshooter.com%2Fsnapshooter" | sh2
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%2Fsnapshooter.com%2Fsnapshooter" | 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with SnapShooter API.
Get team information
Create SSH key
List SSH keys
Add a server
Monitor SnapShooter API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use SnapShooter API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Storage and Databases Operations
Use the SnapShooter API to perform storage operations programmatically. The API provides 13 endpoints covering core functionality including get team information, create ssh key, list ssh keys.
Call GET /team to get team information
Automated Backup Solutions Management
Automate backup solutions operations by combining multiple SnapShooter API endpoints. Agents can create ssh key and then list ssh keys in a single workflow.
Call POST /ssh-keys to create ssh key, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SnapShooter 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 bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get team information', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the SnapShooter API by hand means sending your bearer token on every request, pointing at the api.snapshooter.com/v1 host, and orchestrating server, storage, and job calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SnapShooter API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The SnapShooter API identifies work by operation rather than a resource id in the URL path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as listing servers or reading team information. You choose that set, so creating servers, storage, or backup jobs is only included if you add it.
Credential isolation
Your SnapShooter API 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.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get team information' or 'list backup servers', and Jentic returns the matching SnapShooter API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using SnapShooter API through Jentic.
What authentication does the SnapShooter API use?
The SnapShooter API uses a Bearer token 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.
Can I get team information with the SnapShooter API?
Yes. Use the GET /team endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SnapShooter 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 team information through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get team information'. Jentic returns the matching SnapShooter API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the SnapShooter API have?
The SnapShooter API exposes 13 endpoints covering backup solutions, jobs, servers operations.
