Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Taxrates.io 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%2Ftaxrates.io%2Ftaxratesio-api" | 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%2Ftaxrates.io%2Ftaxratesio-api" | 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 Taxrates.io API.
Tax rates by Country Code
All tax rates
Integrate Taxrates.io API into automated workflows
Query and filter Taxrates.io API records by parameters
GET STARTED
For Agents
Programmatically tax rates by country code, tax rates by ip address. Covers 3 operations.
Use for: I need to tax rates by country code, I want to tax rates by ip address, Search for all tax rates, List all records from Taxrates.io API
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or developer tools - use for crm only.
<h3>Introduction</h3> <p>Taxrates.io is a global tax rate service that automates the management of monitoring tax rates changes in 181 countries. We monitor over 14,000 US sales tax, VAT, GST rates for you and make updates via our API so you always have the most update tax rates.</p> <p>You can use Taxrates.io as a virtual sandbox where we provide you with 30 days free trial.</p> <h3>Countries</h3. The API exposes 3 endpoints.
Monitor Taxrates.io API operational status and events
Patterns agents use Taxrates.io API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the Taxrates.io API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including tax rates by country code, tax rates by ip address, all tax rates.
Call GET /v1/tax/countrycode to tax rates by country code
Automated v3/tax Management
Automate v3/tax operations by combining multiple Taxrates.io API endpoints. Agents can tax rates by ip address and then all tax rates in a single workflow.
Call GET /v1/tax/ip to tax rates by ip address, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Taxrates.io 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 'tax rates by country code', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
The Taxrates.io API needs no auth credential, but wiring it by hand still means targeting the api.taxrates.io host, tracking its mixed v1 and v3 paths, and building your own retry handling. Through Jentic you install once, import the Taxrates.io API from the API Directory, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Taxrates.io API's listed operations are read-only tax-rate lookups where the target travels as query parameters, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as getting rates by country code or by IP. You choose what it may call, and these endpoints only read rates, so nothing that changes state is included.
Credential isolation
The Taxrates.io API needs no credential, so there is nothing for the agent to hold; any configuration your Jentic One instance stores is kept encrypted and never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get tax rates by country code' or 'look up tax by IP', and Jentic returns the matching Taxrates.io API 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 Taxrates.io API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Taxrates.io API use?
The Taxrates.io 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 tax rates by country code with the Taxrates.io API?
Yes. Use the GET /v1/tax/countrycode endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Taxrates.io 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 tax rates by country code through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'tax rates by country code'. Jentic returns the matching Taxrates.io API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Taxrates.io API have?
The Taxrates.io API exposes 3 endpoints covering v3/tax, v1/tax operations.
