Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) 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%2Fuis.unesco.org%2Fuis-unesco" | shStep 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%2Fuis.unesco.org%2Fuis-unesco" | 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.
What an agent can do with UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API.
Get the default (latest) data version
List all data versions
Export geographic units definitions
Query indicator data
Get statistics by theme
GET STARTED
Patterns agents use UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Published Statistics Lookups
Use the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API to read published statistics programmatically: get the default (latest) data version, list all data versions, and list the geographic units the figures are reported for.
Call GET /api/public/versions/default to get the default (latest) data version
Automated Data Management
Automate data operations by combining multiple UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API endpoints. Agents can list all data versions and then list all geographic units in a single workflow.
Call GET /api/public/versions to list all data versions, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API endpoints through Jentic without reading the reference docs first. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call. This API is open, so there is no token to configure once it has been imported.
Search Jentic for 'get the default (latest) data version', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
20 endpoints — the uis data api serves unesco institute for statistics figures on education, science, technology, innovation, culture, and demographic/socioeconomic topics.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the UNESCO Institute for Statistics Data API by hand means matching each versions, definitions, and data operation to its query parameters and handling the CSV and Excel export responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the UIS Data API from the API Directory, and your agent calls it. There is no key to obtain, because every one of its 20 operations is public.
Permission scoping
The UIS Data API exposes read operations over versions, definitions, and indicator data, so scope your agent to the ones it needs, such as reading the default version or querying indicators. You choose the operations it may call, so it is limited to the queries you enable and nothing more.
Credential isolation
This API needs nothing secret: its operations are public reads, so there is nothing to hold for it. Where an API does require one, your own Jentic One instance keeps it encrypted and injects it at execution time, so it never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get the default data version' or 'list indicator definitions', and Jentic returns the matching UIS Data API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API through Jentic.
What authentication does the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API use?
None. The spec declares no security schemes, and all 20 operations are open reads, so your agent calls them without a key. Through Jentic the calls still go through your own self-hosted instance, and your rules decide which of those operations the agent may use.
Can I get the default (latest) data version with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API?
Yes. Use the GET /api/public/versions/default endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits.
How do I get the default (latest) data version through Jentic?
Install Jentic One on the machine that will host it, then run jentic register on the machine where your agent runs, and import the UIS Data API from the API Directory. Your agent searches by intent for 'get the default (latest) data version', receives the matching operation with its input schema, and executes the call.
Is there a UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API MCP server?
You do not need an MCP server to give your agent the UIS Data API. Jentic connects it directly from the API Directory: import the UIS Data API and your agent can read data versions, geographic-unit and indicator definitions, and query or export indicator data, without another server's tool definitions sitting in its context.
How many endpoints does the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API have?
The UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API exposes 20 endpoints covering data, data browser, definitions operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which UIS Data API operations the agent may call, so you can grant only the read endpoints it needs, such as getting the default data version, listing version history, reading geographic-unit and indicator definitions, or querying and exporting indicator data. If your agent only needs to query indicators, you can enable that operation and leave every other endpoint unavailable. It is limited to the queries you turn on and can do nothing beyond them.

For Agents
Read published UNESCO Institute for Statistics figures: get the default (latest) data version, query indicator data by geo-unit and indicator, read geographic-unit, indicator, framework and glossary definitions, and export definitions or results as CSV, Excel or JSON. Covers 20 read-only operations.
Use for: I need to know which UIS data version is current, I want to list all published UIS data versions, I need the geographic units that UIS figures are reported for, I would like to export the geographic unit definitions as a file
Not supported: Does not submit or edit data, and does not handle payments or communications - all 20 operations are read-only queries over published UIS statistics.
The UIS Data API serves UNESCO Institute for Statistics figures on education, science, technology, innovation, culture, and demographic/socioeconomic topics. Agents query indicator data by geo-unit and indicator, read geographic-unit, indicator, framework, glossary and disaggregation definitions, and export results as CSV, Excel or JSON. Every response is tied to a dated data version, and the default version endpoint reports which one is current.
