Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Spider API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Spider 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%2Fspider.cloud%2Fspider-cloud" | sh

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%2Fspider.cloud%2Fspider-cloud" | sh
jentic register       # connects your agent to your Jentic One instance

Jentic 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Spider API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the Spider API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 11 endpoints covering core functionality including crawl website, scrape page, bypass anti-bot protection.

Call POST /crawl to crawl website

Automated Crawl Management

Automate crawl operations by combining multiple Spider API endpoints. Agents can scrape page and then bypass anti-bot protection in a single workflow.

Call POST /scrape to scrape page, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Spider 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 'crawl website', 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 Spider API by hand means carrying its bearer token on every request and wiring the crawl, scrape, search, and screenshot operations yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Spider API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

Spider passes its targets in the request body, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as scraping a page or running a crawl. You choose the operations it may call, so it only runs the crawl, scrape, or search actions you allow and nothing more.

Credential isolation

Your Spider bearer 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 'crawl a website' or 'take a screenshot of a page', and Jentic returns the matching Spider operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Spider API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Spider API use?

The Spider 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 crawl website with the Spider API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Spider 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 crawl website through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Spider API have?

The Spider API exposes 11 endpoints covering crawl, scrape, data operations.
