# Tally So Tally API

Tally API provides programmatic access to developer tools functionality. The API exposes 29 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically create a new form, retrieve a list of forms. Covers 29 operations with bearer authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.

## Capabilities

- Create a new form
- Retrieve a list of forms
- Update a form
- Delete a form
- Monitor Tally API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Developer Tools Operations

Use the Tally API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 29 endpoints covering core functionality including create a new form, retrieve a list of forms, retrieve a form.

Example prompt: Call POST /forms to create a new form

### Automated Forms Management

Automate forms operations by combining multiple Tally API endpoints. Agents can retrieve a list of forms and then retrieve a form in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /forms to retrieve a list of forms, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Tally 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 'create a new form', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Tally API by hand means setting up bearer token auth, sending it on every call, and shaping its form and workspace routes yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Tally API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Tally puts the form id in the URL path (`/forms/{formId}`), so a rule can pin your agent to one form: it can read that form and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so updating or deleting a form is not included unless you add it.
- **Credential handling:** Your Tally 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 'create a new form' or 'list workspaces', and Jentic returns the matching Tally operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Tally API use?

The Tally 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 create a new form with the Tally API?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Tally 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 a new form through Jentic?

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

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

The Tally API exposes 29 endpoints covering forms, organizations, users operations.

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

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Tally operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Tally puts the form id in the URL path (`/forms/{formId}`), a rule can pin the agent to a single form so it reads that form and nothing else. You also choose the operations it may call, so updating or deleting a form (PATCH or DELETE `/forms/{formId}`) or creating workspaces is excluded unless you explicitly grant it.
