# TalentLMS API

TalentLMS learning management system API. The API exposes 10 endpoints secured with basic authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically list users, get user by id. Covers 10 operations with basic authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for hr and recruiting only.

## Capabilities

- List users
- Get user by ID
- Create user
- Add user to course
- Remove user from course

## Use cases

### HR and Recruiting Operations

Use the TalentLMS API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 10 endpoints covering core functionality including list users, get user by id, create user.

Example prompt: Call GET /users to list users

### Automated Branches Management

Automate branches operations by combining multiple TalentLMS API endpoints. Agents can get user by id and then create user in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /users/id:{user_id} to get user by id, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call TalentLMS 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 basic tokens manually.

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

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the TalentLMS API by hand means setting up HTTP basic auth with your API key, resolving your subdomain into the host, and shaping its user and course routes yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the TalentLMS API from the API Directory, store the basic credential once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** TalentLMS puts the user id and course id in the URL path (/users/id:{user_id}, /courses/id:{course_id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one user or course and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so enrolling or removing a user from a course is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your TalentLMS basic credential 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 'list users' or 'add a user to a course', and Jentic returns the matching TalentLMS operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the TalentLMS API use?

The TalentLMS API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 users with the TalentLMS API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the TalentLMS 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 users through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the TalentLMS API have?

The TalentLMS API exposes 10 endpoints covering branches, categories, courses operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which TalentLMS operations and credentials the agent may use. Since TalentLMS carries the user and course id in the URL path (/users/id:{user_id}, /courses/id:{course_id}), you can pin the agent to reading a single user or course and nothing more. You also choose the operations it may call, so enrolling a user in a course (/addusertocourse) or removing one (/removeuserfromcourse) stays off limits unless you explicitly allow it.
