For Agents

Programmatically generate token. Covers 1 operations.

Connect the Authentication API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Authentication 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.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

Jentic One Host machine

# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh

Agent machine

# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Authentication API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Identity and Authentication Operations

Use the Authentication API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including generate token.

Call POST /authenticate to generate token

Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query Authentication API resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Poll the primary Authentication API endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Authentication 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 none tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'generate token', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Authentication API none credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'generate token') and Jentic returns the matching Authentication API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Authentication API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Authentication API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Authentication API use?

The Authentication API uses no authentication. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I generate token with the Authentication API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Authentication 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 generate token through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'generate token'. Jentic returns the matching Authentication API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Authentication API have?

The Authentication API exposes 1 endpoints covering users operations.
