Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the TaxBandits 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%2Ftaxbandits.com%2Ftaxbandits" | 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%2Ftaxbandits.com%2Ftaxbandits" | 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 TaxBandits API.
Get OAuth access token
Create a business
List businesses
Request W-9/W-8 by email
Monitor TaxBandits API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use TaxBandits API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the TaxBandits API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 13 endpoints covering core functionality including get oauth access token, create a business, list businesses.
Call POST /v1.7.3/Auth/Token to get oauth access token
Automated 1099 Forms Management
Automate 1099 forms operations by combining multiple TaxBandits API endpoints. Agents can create a business and then list businesses in a single workflow.
Call POST /v1.7.3/Business/Create to create a business, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call TaxBandits 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 'get oauth access token', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the TaxBandits API by hand means exchanging credentials for a JWT bearer token, choosing between the testapi and production api.taxbandits.com hosts, and building your own retry handling. Through Jentic you install once, import the TaxBandits API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The TaxBandits API takes its targets in the request body across its business, certificate, and form operations, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as listing businesses or requesting a W-9 certificate. You choose which operations it may call, so filing operations like creating a Form 1099-NEC are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your TaxBandits 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.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'request a W-9 certificate by email' or 'run TIN matching', and Jentic returns the matching TaxBandits API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using TaxBandits API through Jentic.
What authentication does the TaxBandits API use?
The TaxBandits 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 get oauth access token with the TaxBandits API?
Yes. Use the POST /v1.7.3/Auth/Token endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the TaxBandits 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 get oauth access token through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get oauth access token'. Jentic returns the matching TaxBandits API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the TaxBandits API have?
The TaxBandits API exposes 13 endpoints covering 1099 forms, 94x forms, authentication operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the TaxBandits API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted by you, your own rules decide which TaxBandits operations and credentials the agent may use, so you can scope it to just the calls it needs, such as listing businesses or requesting a W-9/W-8 certificate by email. Filing operations like creating a Form 1099-NEC stay out of reach unless you explicitly add them. The stored bearer token is injected only for the operations you permit, so the agent cannot reach the business, certificate, or form endpoints you left out.
For Agents
