For Agents
Programmatically create or update dataset data, retrieve check results. Covers 2 operations with basic authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Soda Cloud REST 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%2Fsoda.io%2Fsoda" | shStep 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%2Fsoda.io%2Fsoda" | 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 Soda Cloud REST API.
Create or update dataset data
Retrieve check results
Integrate Soda Cloud REST API into automated workflows
Query and filter Soda Cloud REST API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to or update dataset data, I want to check results, Get the current status of Soda Cloud REST API resources, List all records from Soda Cloud REST API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.
Soda Cloud REST API for managing datasets and retrieving check results. Supports two cloud regions: EU (cloud.soda.io) and US (cloud.us.soda.io). The API exposes 2 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Monitor Soda Cloud REST API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Soda Cloud REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the Soda Cloud REST API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 2 endpoints covering core functionality including create or update dataset data, retrieve check results.
Call POST /api/v1/datasets/{datasetId} to create or update dataset data
Data Retrieval and Monitoring
Query Soda Cloud REST 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.
Poll the primary Soda Cloud REST API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Soda Cloud REST 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 basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create or update dataset data', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Soda Cloud REST API by hand means sending HTTP basic credentials on every request, choosing between the US and default cloud.soda.io hosts, and shaping the dataset payloads yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Soda Cloud REST API from the API Directory, store the credentials once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Soda Cloud REST API puts the dataset id in the URL path (/api/v1/datasets/{datasetId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one dataset: it can update that dataset's data and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so reading checks is only included if you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Soda Cloud REST API credentials 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 'update dataset data' or 'list quality checks', and Jentic returns the matching Soda Cloud REST API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Soda Cloud REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Soda Cloud REST API use?
The Soda Cloud REST API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 or update dataset data with the Soda Cloud REST API?
Yes. Use the POST /api/v1/datasets/{datasetId} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Soda Cloud REST 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 or update dataset data through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create or update dataset data'. Jentic returns the matching Soda Cloud REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Soda Cloud REST API have?
The Soda Cloud REST API exposes 2 endpoints covering datasets, checks operations.
