For Agents

Programmatically get transit routes which are near a location, get transit stops which are near a location. Covers 16 operations with apiKey authentication.

Connect the Transit API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Transit 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 Transit API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Maps and Geolocation Operations

Use the Transit API to perform maps geolocation operations programmatically. The API provides 16 endpoints covering core functionality including get transit routes which are near a location, get transit stops which are near a location, get upcoming departures for all routes serving a stop.

Call GET /public/nearby_routes to get transit routes which are near a location

Automated Public transport Management

Automate public transport operations by combining multiple Transit API endpoints. Agents can get transit stops which are near a location and then get upcoming departures for all routes serving a stop in a single workflow.

Call GET /public/nearby_stops to get transit stops which are near a location, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Transit 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 transit routes which are near a location', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why though Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Transit API apiKey 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., 'get transit routes which are near a location') and Jentic returns the matching Transit API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Transit 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 Transit API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Transit API use?

The Transit API uses an API key passed in the `apiKey` header. 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 get transit routes which are near a location with the Transit API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Transit 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 transit routes which are near a location through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get transit routes which are near a location'. Jentic returns the matching Transit API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Transit API have?

The Transit API exposes 16 endpoints covering public transport, shared mobility operations.
