# Tofler News

Tofler News provides programmatic access to developer tools functionality. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.

## For AI agents

Programmatically default list of news, list of supported news categories. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.

## Scope

Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.

## Capabilities

- Default List of news
- List of supported news categories
- Get catgory news feed
- Query and filter Tofler News records by parameters
- Monitor Tofler News operational status and events

## Use cases

### Developer Tools Operations

Use the Tofler News to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including default list of news, list of supported news categories, get catgory news feed.

Example prompt: Call GET /news to default list of news

### Automated categories Management

Automate categories operations by combining multiple Tofler News endpoints. Agents can list of supported news categories and then get catgory news feed in a single workflow.

Example prompt: Call GET /categories to list of supported news categories, then verify the result

### AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Tofler News 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.

Example prompt: Search Jentic for 'default list of news', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

## Key endpoints

## Why Jentic

- **Setup:** Wiring the Tofler News API by hand means setting its Authorization API key, working through its news and category endpoints, and handling retries yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Tofler News from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
- **Permission scoping:** Tofler News serves read-only news and category lookups, with the category id in the URL path used only to filter results, so scope the agent by the operations it needs, such as listing news or categories. You choose that set, so lookups you do not name stay unavailable.
- **Credential handling:** Your Tofler News 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.
- **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get the latest news' or 'list news categories', and Jentic returns the matching Tofler News operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

## FAQ

### What authentication does the Tofler News use?

The Tofler News uses an API key passed 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 default list of news with the Tofler News?

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

### What are the rate limits for the Tofler News?

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 default list of news through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'default list of news'. Jentic returns the matching Tofler News operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

### How many endpoints does the Tofler News have?

The Tofler News exposes 3 endpoints covering categories, news operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Tofler News operations the agent may call and which stored credential it uses. Since Tofler News only offers read-only lookups, you can allow just the calls you need, such as GET /news to list news or GET /categories to list categories, while withholding the category feed at GET `/categories/{category_id}/news.` Any operation you do not grant stays unavailable to the agent.
