For Agents
Programmatically get current user, get user. Covers 27 operations with apiKey, oauth2 authentication.
Use for: I need to current user, I want to user, Search for user, Find all groups
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Splitwise 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%2Fsplitwise.com%2Fsplitwise" | 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%2Fsplitwise.com%2Fsplitwise" | 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 Splitwise API.
Get current user
Update user
List groups
Create group
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for finance and accounting only.
Splitwise expense sharing API. The API exposes 27 endpoints secured with apiKey, oauth2 authentication.
Delete group
Patterns agents use Splitwise API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Finance and Accounting Operations
Use the Splitwise API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 27 endpoints covering core functionality including get current user, get user, update user.
Call GET /get_current_user to get current user
Automated Comments Management
Automate comments operations by combining multiple Splitwise API endpoints. Agents can get user and then update user in a single workflow.
Call GET /get_user/{id} to get user, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Splitwise 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, oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get current user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Splitwise API by hand means choosing between its OAuth 2.0 authorization-code flow and API key auth, and pointing every call at the secure.splitwise.com/api/v3.0 host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Splitwise API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Splitwise puts the group id in the URL path (/get_group/{id}, /delete_group/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one group. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a group are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Splitwise credential 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 the current user' or 'list my groups', and Jentic returns the matching Splitwise API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Splitwise API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Splitwise API use?
The Splitwise API uses apiKey, oauth2 authentication. 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 current user with the Splitwise API?
Yes. Use the GET /get_current_user endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Splitwise 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 current user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get current user'. Jentic returns the matching Splitwise API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Splitwise API have?
The Splitwise API exposes 27 endpoints covering comments, expenses, friends operations.
/delete_group/{id}
Delete group
/undelete_group/{id}
Restore group
