Programmatically get API quota usage, search constituency. Covers 25 operations with apiKey authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the TheyWorkForYou API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the TheyWorkForYou 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%2Ftheyworkforyou.com%2Ftheyworkforyou" | sh

Step 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%2Ftheyworkforyou.com%2Ftheyworkforyou" | 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 TheyWorkForYou API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Developer Tools Operations

Use the TheyWorkForYou API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 25 endpoints covering core functionality including get API quota usage, search constituency, list constituencies.

Call GET /getQuota to get API quota usage

Automated Quota Management

Automate quota operations by combining multiple TheyWorkForYou API endpoints. Agents can search constituency and then list constituencies in a single workflow.

Call GET /getConstituency to search constituency, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call TheyWorkForYou 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 'get API quota usage', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.

Setup

Wiring the TheyWorkForYou API by hand means passing its key as a query parameter on every call, watching your quota through getQuota, and handling your own retries. Through Jentic you install once, import the TheyWorkForYou API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.

Permission scoping

The TheyWorkForYou API is read-only parliamentary data, so scope it by operations: limit the agent to the calls it needs, such as getting an MP or listing constituencies, and leave out any route you do not want it reaching. Every operation you credit it with stays inside that allowed set.

Credential isolation

Your TheyWorkForYou 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 'get details for an MP' or 'find a constituency', and Jentic returns the matching TheyWorkForYou operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using TheyWorkForYou API through Jentic.

What authentication does the TheyWorkForYou API use?

The TheyWorkForYou API uses an API key passed in the `key` query. 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 API quota usage with the TheyWorkForYou API?

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

What are the rate limits for the TheyWorkForYou 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 API quota usage through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get API quota usage'. Jentic returns the matching TheyWorkForYou API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the TheyWorkForYou API have?

The TheyWorkForYou API exposes 25 endpoints covering quota, constituencies, members operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the TheyWorkForYou API?

Yes. Because the TheyWorkForYou API is read-only UK Parliament data, you scope it by operation in your self-hosted Jentic One instance, where your own rules decide which calls and credentials the agent may use. Credit the agent only with the operations it needs, such as getMP, getConstituency, or getConstituencies, and leave out any route you do not want it reaching. Every operation you allow stays inside that permitted set, so the agent cannot call getPerson, getLords, or getQuota unless you grant them.
