Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Straddle API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Straddle 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%2Fstraddle.com%2Fstraddle" | sh2
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%2Fstraddle.com%2Fstraddle" | 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.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Straddle API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Payments Operations
Use the Straddle API to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 57 endpoints covering core functionality including create account, list accounts, lookup account.
Call POST /accounts to create account
Automated Accounts Management
Automate accounts operations by combining multiple Straddle API endpoints. Agents can list accounts and then lookup account in a single workflow.
Call GET /accounts to list accounts, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Straddle 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 'create account', 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 Straddle API by hand means sending its key in the Authorization header on every call to api.straddle.com/v1 and coordinating the account, charge, and payout lifecycles yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Straddle API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Straddle puts the resource id in the URL path (/charges/{chargeId}/... and /accounts/{accountId}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one account and its charges. You choose the operations it may call, so releasing a payout or unmasking bank account details is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Straddle 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 'create a charge' or 'onboard an account', and Jentic returns the matching Straddle API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Straddle API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Straddle API use?
The Straddle API uses an API key passed 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 account with the Straddle API?
Yes. Use the POST /accounts endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Straddle 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 account through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create account'. Jentic returns the matching Straddle API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Straddle API have?
The Straddle API exposes 57 endpoints covering accounts, linked bank accounts, charges operations.
