The UIS Data API provides programmatic access to UNESCO Institute for Statistics data covering education, science, technology, innovation, culture, and demographic/socioeconomic indicators. Supports querying indicator data by geo-units and indicators, with export capabilities in CSV, Excel, and JSON formats. Data is versioned and organized by themes including Education, Science/Technology/Innovati. The API exposes 20 endpoints.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API to your agent
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" | 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%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.

★ CRM Operations
Use the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) Data API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 20 endpoints covering core functionality including get the default (latest) data version, list all data versions, list all geographic units.
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 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 none tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get the default (latest) data version', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
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 export responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the UIS Data API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
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
Your UIS Data API credential 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.
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.
