Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for finance and accounting only.

## Capabilities

- Get daily stock prices
- Manage finance data programmatically
- Integrate Tiingo API into automated workflows
- Query and filter Tiingo API records by parameters
- Monitor Tiingo API operational status and events

## Use cases

### Finance and Accounting Operations

Use the Tiingo API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 5 endpoints covering core functionality including get daily stock prices, get ticker metadata, get crypto prices.

Example prompt: Call GET /tiingo/daily/{ticker}/prices to get daily stock prices

### Automated Crypto Management

Automate crypto operations by combining multiple Tiingo API endpoints. Agents can get ticker metadata and then get crypto prices in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /tiingo/daily/{ticker} to get ticker metadata, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Tiingo 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 bearer tokens manually.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'get daily stock prices', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Tiingo API by hand means setting up its bearer token, targeting the api.tiingo.com host, and building the daily price, crypto, IEX, and news calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Tiingo API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Tiingo puts the ticker in the URL path (/tiingo/daily/{ticker}/prices, /iex/{ticker}/prices), so a rule can pin your agent to one ticker: it can read prices and metadata for that symbol and nothing else. Every operation is read-only, so the agent stays limited to the lookups you grant.
- **Credential handling:** Your Tiingo token 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get daily stock prices for a ticker' or 'get crypto prices', and Jentic returns the matching Tiingo API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Tiingo API use?

The Tiingo API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization 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 get daily stock prices with the Tiingo API?

Yes. Use the GET /tiingo/daily/{ticker}/prices endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

### What are the rate limits for the Tiingo 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 daily stock prices through Jentic?

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

### How many endpoints does the Tiingo API have?

The Tiingo API exposes 5 endpoints covering crypto, iex, news operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Tiingo operations and credentials the agent may use. Tiingo puts the ticker in the URL path, such as GET /tiingo/daily/{ticker}/prices and GET /iex/{ticker}/prices, so you can pin the agent to a single symbol and let it read only that ticker's prices and metadata. Every Tiingo operation is read-only, so the agent stays limited to the lookups you grant, including daily prices, crypto prices, and financial news.
