For Agents

Programmatically generate access token, delete credential. Covers 17 operations with bearer authentication.

Use for: I need to generate access token, I want to credential, Search for payment, Find all payment

Connect the TrueLayer API to your agent

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

★ Finance and Accounting Operations

Use the TrueLayer API to perform finance operations programmatically. The API provides 17 endpoints covering core functionality including generate access token, delete credential, create payment.

Call POST /v1/oauth/access_token to generate access token

Automated Authentication Management

Automate authentication operations by combining multiple TrueLayer API endpoints. Agents can delete credential and then create payment in a single workflow.

Call DELETE /v1/oauth/credentials/{id} to delete credential, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call TrueLayer 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.

Search Jentic for 'generate access token', 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

TrueLayer API bearer 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., 'generate access token') and Jentic returns the matching TrueLayer API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct TrueLayer 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 TrueLayer API API through Jentic.

What authentication does the TrueLayer API use?

The TrueLayer API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization 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 generate access token with the TrueLayer API?

Yes. Use the POST /v1/oauth/access_token endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the TrueLayer 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 generate access token through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'generate access token'. Jentic returns the matching TrueLayer API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the TrueLayer API have?

The TrueLayer API exposes 17 endpoints covering authentication, data, payments operations.
