# Spot by Flexera API

Welcome to the Spot by Flexera OpenAPI Specification. Here you will find REST definitions for all Spot products and platform administration tasks. The API is hosted at `https://api.spotinst.io` and requires Bearer Token Authentication. For more information on how to use the Spot platform, including user guides, developer guides, concepts, and tutorials, see the external [Spot Documentation](https:. The API exposes 531 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically create elastigroup, list all elastigroups. Covers 531 operations with bearer authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for e-commerce only.

## Capabilities

- Create Elastigroup
- List All Elastigroups
- Update Elastigroup
- Delete Elastigroup
- Pause Stateful Instance

## Use cases

### E-Commerce Operations

Use the Spot by Flexera API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 531 endpoints covering core functionality including create elastigroup, list all elastigroups, list elastigroup.

Example prompt: Call POST `/aws/ec2/group` to create elastigroup

### Automated Elastigroup AWS Management

Automate elastigroup aws operations by combining multiple Spot by Flexera API endpoints. Agents can list all elastigroups and then list elastigroup in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET `/aws/ec2/group` to list all elastigroups, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Spot by Flexera 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'create elastigroup', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Spot by Flexera API by hand means implementing its bearer auth and pointing every call at the api.spotinst.io host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Spot by Flexera API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Spot puts the group id in the URL path (`/aws/ec2/group/{groupId}/...`), so a rule can pin your agent to one Elastigroup and the reads around it. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a group or pausing a stateful instance are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your Spot 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create an Elastigroup' or 'list EC2 groups', and Jentic returns the matching Spot by Flexera API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Spot by Flexera API use?

The Spot by Flexera 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 create elastigroup with the Spot by Flexera API?

Yes. Use the POST `/aws/ec2/group` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Spot by Flexera 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 elastigroup through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Spot by Flexera API have?

The Spot by Flexera API exposes 531 endpoints covering elastigroup aws, elastigroup azure spot vms, elastigroup gcp operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Spot by Flexera API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which Spot by Flexera operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Spot puts the group id in the URL path, such as `/aws/ec2/group/{groupId}`, you can pin the agent to a single Elastigroup and the reads around it. You also choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a group or pausing a stateful instance are excluded unless you explicitly add them.
