Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the TextKit 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%2Ftextkit.ai%2Ftextkit" | 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%2Ftextkit.ai%2Ftextkit" | 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 TextKit API.
Health check
Detect emotion in text
Integrate TextKit API into automated workflows
Query and filter TextKit API records by parameters
Monitor TextKit API operational status and events
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use TextKit API for, with concrete tasks.
★ AI and Machine Learning Operations
Use the TextKit API to perform ai ml operations programmatically. The API provides 9 endpoints covering core functionality including health check, detect emotion in text, detect sentiment in text.
Call GET /ping to health check
Automated Detection Management
Automate detection operations by combining multiple TextKit API endpoints. Agents can detect emotion in text and then detect sentiment in text in a single workflow.
Call GET /detect/emotion to detect emotion in text, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call TextKit 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 apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'health check', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
9 endpoints — textkit is a text analysis api offering natural language processing endpoints including emotion detection, sentiment analysis, language detection, gender prediction, gibberish detection, name recognition, sentence similarity, and word cloud generation.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring TextKit by hand means setting up its API-key auth against api.textkit.ai and wiring each text-detection endpoint yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import TextKit from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
TextKit passes the text to analyse as a request parameter on read-only detection endpoints like /detect/sentiment and /detect/language, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as sentiment or language detection. You choose that set, so an operation is only reachable if you include it.
Credential isolation
Your TextKit API key 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 'detect the sentiment of this text' or 'identify the language', and Jentic returns the matching TextKit 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 TextKit API through Jentic.
What authentication does the TextKit API use?
The TextKit API uses an API key passed in the `X-API-Key` 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 health check with the TextKit API?
Yes. Use the GET /ping endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the TextKit 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 health check through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'health check'. Jentic returns the matching TextKit API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the TextKit API have?
The TextKit API exposes 9 endpoints covering detection, generation, utility operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the TextKit API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, you decide which TextKit operations your agent can reach, and an endpoint is only callable if you include it in that set. TextKit exposes read-only detection endpoints such as /detect/sentiment and /detect/language, so you can restrict the agent to just the operations it needs, like sentiment or language detection, while leaving the rest unavailable. Your own rules govern which operations and which stored credentials the agent may use.
For Agents
Programmatically health check, detect emotion in text. Covers 9 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to health check, I want to detect emotion in text, Search for detect sentiment in text, Find all detect language of text
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for ai and machine learning only.
