Connect the Noun Project API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Noun Project 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.

Install Jentic One Beta (Self-Hosted)

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 | sh

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 instance

Jentic 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Noun Project API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the Noun Project API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 10 endpoints covering core functionality including search icons, get icon by id, download edited icon.

Call GET /v2/icon to search icons

Automated v2 Management

Automate v2 operations by combining multiple Noun Project API endpoints. Agents can get icon by id and then download edited icon in a single workflow.

Call GET /v2/icon/{icon_id} to get icon by id, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Noun Project 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 oauth tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'search icons', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

10 endpoints — the noun project api provides access to over 5 million icons and a growing library of curated icon collections.

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Noun Project API oauth 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., 'search icons') and Jentic returns the matching Noun Project API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Noun Project API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Noun Project API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Noun Project API use?

The Noun Project API uses oauth authentication. 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 search icons with the Noun Project API?

Yes. Use the GET /v2/icon endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Noun Project 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 search icons through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'search icons'. Jentic returns the matching Noun Project API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Noun Project API have?

The Noun Project API exposes 10 endpoints covering v2 operations.
