Install Jentic One Beta
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.
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%2Fthenounproject.com%2Fthenounproject" | 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%2Fthenounproject.com%2Fthenounproject" | 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 Noun Project API.
Search icons
Get icon by ID
Download edited icon
Icon search autocomplete
View blacklist
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use Noun Project 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
10 endpoints — the noun project api provides access to over 5 million icons and a growing library of curated icon collections.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Noun Project API by hand means implementing its OAuth 1.0a signing with your key and secret, signing each request, and handling your own retries. Through Jentic you install once, import the Noun Project API from the API Directory, store the key and secret once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Noun Project API puts the icon id in the URL path (/v2/icon/{icon_id}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one icon or collection: it can search and download that resource and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so account actions like editing the blacklist are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Noun Project key and secret are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'search for an icon' or 'download an icon by id', and Jentic returns the matching Noun Project operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Noun Project 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 your Jentic One instance 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 through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, 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.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Noun Project API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which operations and credentials your agent can use. Since the Noun Project API puts the icon id in the URL path (/v2/icon/{icon_id}/download), you can pin an agent to a single icon or collection so it only searches and downloads that resource. Account actions like adding IDs to the blacklist are excluded unless you explicitly grant them.
For Agents
Programmatically search icons, get icon by id. Covers 10 operations with oauth authentication.
Use for: I need to icons, I want to icon by id, Search for download edited icon, Find all icon search autocomplete
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.
The Noun Project API provides access to over 5 million icons and a growing library of curated icon collections. Search, retrieve, and download icons in various formats and sizes. Manage blacklists and monitor usage. The API exposes 10 endpoints secured with oauth authentication.
