For Agents
Programmatically create a charge, retrieve a charge. Covers 7 operations with bearer authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Tap Payments 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: 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 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 Tap Payments API.
Create a Charge
Retrieve a Charge
List all Charges
Query and filter Tap Payments API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle communications, crm, or developer tools — use for payments only.
Tap Payments is a payment gateway serving the Middle East and North Africa. The API supports creating charges, authorizations, refunds, and managing customers and payment tokens. The API exposes 7 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
Monitor Tap Payments API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Tap Payments API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Payments Operations
Use the Tap Payments API to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 7 endpoints covering core functionality including create a charge, retrieve a charge, list all charges.
Call POST /charges to create a charge
Automated Charges Management
Automate charges operations by combining multiple Tap Payments API endpoints. Agents can retrieve a charge and then list all charges in a single workflow.
Call GET /charges/{chargeId} to retrieve a charge, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Tap Payments 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.
Search Jentic for 'create a charge', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Tap Payments API bearer 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., 'create a charge') and Jentic returns the matching Tap Payments API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Tap Payments API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using Tap Payments API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Tap Payments API use?
The Tap Payments API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. 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 create a charge with the Tap Payments API?
Yes. Use the POST /charges endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Tap Payments 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 charge through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'create a charge'. Jentic returns the matching Tap Payments API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Tap Payments API have?
The Tap Payments API exposes 7 endpoints covering charges, authorize, refunds operations.
Retrieve a Refund
/refunds/list
List All Refunds
