# Standard Notes API

Standard Notes is a safe, end-to-end encrypted notes app. The sync API handles user registration, authentication, session management, item synchronization, and file valet tokens. The API exposes 25 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically register a new user, change user password/credentials. Covers 25 operations with bearer authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for identity and authentication only.

## Capabilities

- Register a new user
- Change user password/credentials
- List user settings
- Update a user setting
- Get a specific user setting
- Delete a user setting

## Use cases

### Identity and Authentication Operations

Use the Standard Notes API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 25 endpoints covering core functionality including register a new user, change user password/credentials, list user settings.

Example prompt: Call POST `/v1/users` to register a new user

### Automated Auth Management

Automate auth operations by combining multiple Standard Notes API endpoints. Agents can change user password/credentials and then list user settings in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call PUT `/v1/users/{userUuid}/attributes/credentials` to change user password/credentials, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Standard Notes 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 'register a new user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

| Method | Path | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| POST | `/v1/users` | Register a new user |
| PUT | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/attributes/credentials` | Change user password/credentials |
| GET | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/settings` | List user settings |
| PUT | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/settings` | Update a user setting |
| GET | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/settings/{settingName}` | Get a specific user setting |
| DELETE | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/settings/{settingName}` | Delete a user setting |
| GET | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/features` | Get user features |
| GET | `/v1/users/{userUuid}/subscription` | Get user subscription |

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Standard Notes API by hand means learning its JWT bearer auth, resolving the configurable host, and threading the user uuid through settings, features and subscription calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Standard Notes API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Standard Notes puts the user uuid in the URL path (`/v1/users/{userUuid}/...`), so a rule can pin your agent to one user: it can read and update that user's settings and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a setting are not included unless you add them.
- **Credential handling:** Your Standard Notes 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 'register a new user' or 'read a user's subscription', and Jentic returns the matching Standard Notes API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Standard Notes API use?

The Standard Notes 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 register a new user with the Standard Notes API?

Yes. Use the POST `/v1/users` endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Standard Notes 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 register a new user through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Standard Notes API have?

The Standard Notes API exposes 25 endpoints covering auth, sessions, items operations.

### Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Standard Notes API?

Yes. Because Jentic One runs self-hosted, your own rules decide which Standard Notes operations and credentials the agent can use. Since the user uuid sits in the URL path (`/v1/users/{userUuid}/...`), you can pin the agent to a single user so it only reads and updates that user's settings, features, or subscription. You also choose the exact operations it may call, so destructive ones like DELETE `/v1/users/{userUuid}/settings/{settingName}` stay out of reach unless you explicitly add them.
