## Use cases

### Social Media Operations

Use the SocialBee API to perform social media operations programmatically. The API provides 9 endpoints covering core functionality including create post, list posts, get post.

Example prompt: Call POST /posts to create post

### Automated Categories Management

Automate categories operations by combining multiple SocialBee API endpoints. Agents can list posts and then get post in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /posts to list posts, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SocialBee 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 'create post', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the SocialBee API by hand means passing your API key in the Authorization header, pointing at the app.socialbee.io/api host, and coordinating posts, categories, and profiles yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SocialBee API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** The SocialBee API identifies work by operation rather than a durable resource id you would scope on, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as creating or listing posts. You choose that set, so destructive ones like deleting a post are only included if you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your SocialBee API key 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 'schedule a social post' or 'list content categories', and Jentic returns the matching SocialBee API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the SocialBee API use?

The SocialBee 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.

### Can I create post with the SocialBee API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the SocialBee 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 create post through Jentic?

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

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

The SocialBee API exposes 9 endpoints covering categories, posts, profiles operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which SocialBee API operations and credentials the agent can use. The SocialBee API is scoped by operation rather than a durable resource id, so you grant only the calls the agent needs, such as creating posts (POST /posts) or listing posts and categories (GET /posts, GET /categories). Destructive operations like deleting a post (DELETE `/posts/{postId}`) are included only if you choose to add them.
