Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) 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%2Fsportsdata%2Fsportsdata" | 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%2Fsportsdata%2Fsportsdata" | 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.

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) 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.

Search Jentic for 'are games in progress', 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 SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API by hand means provisioning its API key, attaching it to every request, and pointing calls at the api.sportsdata.io/v3/cbb host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The format and team values here travel as path segments that select a view rather than an owned resource, and every endpoint is a read, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as checking games in progress or listing teams. Naming operations, not a single team, is the honest boundary here.

Credential isolation

Your SportsDataIO 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.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'are any games in progress' or 'get the current season', and Jentic returns the matching SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API through Jentic.

What authentication does the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API use?

The SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API uses an API key passed in the `key` query. 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 are games in progress with the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API?

Yes. Use the GET /scores/{format}/AreAnyGamesInProgress endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) 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 are games in progress through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'are games in progress'. Jentic returns the matching SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API have?

The SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API exposes 21 endpoints covering odds & betting, scores, standings & rankings operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SportsDataIO NCAA Basketball (CBB) API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which of this API's operations the agent may call and which credentials it may use. Every endpoint here is read-only and its path values just select a view rather than an owned resource, so the honest boundary is naming operations: you can allow only what the agent needs, such as checking whether games are in progress or listing teams and players, while withholding the odds and betting or standings calls. Your SportsDataIO API key stays stored on your instance and is injected at execution time, never exposed to the agent.
