Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Finch Employment Data API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Finch Employment Data 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%2Ftryfinch.com%2Ftryfinch" | sh2
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%2Ftryfinch.com%2Ftryfinch" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Finch Employment Data API.
Create a new connect session
Reauthenticate an existing connection
Exchange authorization code for access token
Disconnect access tokens
Get account info for access token
List all available providers
Make direct requests to employment system
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Finch Employment Data API for, with concrete tasks.
★ HR and Recruiting Operations
Use the Finch Employment Data API to perform hr recruiting operations programmatically. The API provides 35 endpoints covering core functionality including create a new connect session, reauthenticate an existing connection, exchange authorization code for access token.
Call POST /connect/sessions to create a new connect session
Automated Connect Management
Automate connect operations by combining multiple Finch Employment Data API endpoints. Agents can reauthenticate an existing connection and then exchange authorization code for access token in a single workflow.
Call POST /connect/sessions/reauthenticate to reauthenticate an existing connection, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Finch Employment Data 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 basic, bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create a new connect session', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Finch Employment Data API by hand means supporting both its basic and bearer auth, running its connect session and token exchange flow, and handling errors and retries yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Finch Employment Data API from the API Directory, store the credentials once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Finch Employment Data API drives connect sessions, token exchange, and forwarding through flat paths that take their input in the request body, so scoping is operations-only: you limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as creating a connect session or reading company data, and leave out anything else. Every operation the agent can run is one you put in that allowed set.
Credential isolation
Your Finch Employment Data API credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create a connect session' or 'read employer company data', and Jentic returns the matching Finch Employment Data API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Finch Employment Data API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Finch Employment Data API use?
The Finch Employment Data API uses basic, bearer authentication. 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 create a new connect session with the Finch Employment Data API?
Yes. Use the POST /connect/sessions endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Finch Employment Data 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 create a new connect session through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a new connect session'. Jentic returns the matching Finch Employment Data API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Finch Employment Data API have?
The Finch Employment Data API exposes 35 endpoints covering connect, deductions, documents operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Finch Employment Data API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Finch Employment Data API operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the API drives its connect sessions, token exchange, and forwarding through flat paths that take input in the request body, scoping is operations-only: you allow just the operations the agent needs, such as creating a connect session or reading employer company data, and leave out everything else. Every operation the agent can run is one you put in that allowed set, so it cannot call anything you have not permitted.
