For Agents
Programmatically list all available resources, list all people. Covers 13 operations.
Use for: I need to all available resources, I want to all people, Search for a specific person, Find all all planets
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for identity and authentication only.
The Star Wars API (SWAPI) provides data about the Star Wars universe including people, planets, films, species, vehicles, and starships. All data is freely available with no authentication required. The API exposes 13 endpoints.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SWAPI - The Star Wars 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%2Fswapi.dev%2Fswapi-dev" | shStep 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%2Fswapi.dev%2Fswapi-dev" | 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.
What an agent can do with SWAPI - The Star Wars API.
List all available resources
Get a specific person
Integrate SWAPI - The Star Wars API into automated workflows
Query and filter SWAPI - The Star Wars API records by parameters
Monitor SWAPI - The Star Wars API operational status and events
Patterns agents use SWAPI - The Star Wars API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Identity and Authentication Operations
Use the SWAPI - The Star Wars API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 13 endpoints covering core functionality including list all available resources, list all people, get a specific person.
Call GET / to list all available resources
Automated default Management
Automate default operations by combining multiple SWAPI - The Star Wars API endpoints. Agents can list all people and then get a specific person in a single workflow.
Call GET /people/ to list all people, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SWAPI - The Star Wars 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 'list all available resources', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
13 endpoints — the star wars api (swapi) provides data about the star wars universe including people, planets, films, species, vehicles, and starships.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring SWAPI, the Star Wars API, by hand means coding its people, planet, film, and species calls against its host and paging through each list yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import SWAPI from the API Directory, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
SWAPI puts each resource id in the URL path (/people/{id}/, /planets/{id}/), and every endpoint is a read-only GET, so a rule can pin your agent to reading a single person, planet, film, or species. There are no write or delete operations to include.
Credential isolation
SWAPI needs no credential, and if you configure one it 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 'list all available resources' or 'get a character by id', and Jentic returns the matching SWAPI operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using SWAPI - The Star Wars API through Jentic.
What authentication does the SWAPI - The Star Wars API use?
The SWAPI - The Star Wars API uses no authentication. 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 list all available resources with the SWAPI - The Star Wars API?
Yes. Use the GET / endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SWAPI - The Star Wars 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 list all available resources through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'list all available resources'. Jentic returns the matching SWAPI - The Star Wars API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the SWAPI - The Star Wars API have?
The SWAPI - The Star Wars API exposes 13 endpoints covering default, films, people operations.
