Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Unkey 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%2Funkey.com%2Funkey" | 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%2Funkey.com%2Funkey" | 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 Unkey API.
Query key verification data
Create API namespace
Delete API namespace
Get API namespace
List API keys
Patterns agents use Unkey API for, with concrete tasks.
GET STARTED
★ Identity and Authentication Operations
Use the Unkey API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 42 endpoints covering core functionality including query key verification data, create API namespace, delete API namespace.
Call POST /v2/analytics.getVerifications to query key verification data
Automated analytics Management
Automate analytics operations by combining multiple Unkey API endpoints. Agents can create API namespace and then delete API namespace in a single workflow.
Call POST /v2/apis.createApi to create API namespace, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Unkey 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 'query key verification data', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials
42 endpoints — unkey's api provides programmatic access for all resources within our platform.

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Unkey API by hand means attaching a root-key bearer token on every call, matching each RPC-style operation to its request body, and handling responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Unkey API from the API Directory, store the root key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Unkey API is RPC-style and carries its targets in the request body, so scope your agent to the operations it needs, such as getting an API or querying key verifications. You choose the operations it may call, so a write like deleting an API or creating an identity is not included unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your Unkey root key 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 'query key verifications' or 'list keys for an API', and Jentic returns the matching Unkey operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Unkey API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Unkey API use?
The Unkey API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. 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 query key verification data with the Unkey API?
Yes. Use the POST /v2/analytics.getVerifications endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Unkey 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 query key verification data through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'query key verification data'. Jentic returns the matching Unkey API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Unkey API have?
The Unkey API exposes 42 endpoints covering analytics, apis, deploy operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Unkey API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, self-hosted, your own rules decide which Unkey operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the Unkey API is RPC-style and carries its targets in the request body, you scope the agent to only the operations it needs, such as querying key verifications with POST /v2/analytics.getVerifications or getting an API with POST /v2/apis.getApi. A write like deleting an API or creating an identity is not available to the agent unless you explicitly add it.
For Agents
Programmatically query key verification data, create API namespace. Covers 42 operations with bearer authentication.
Use for: I need to query key verification data, I want to API namespace, Search for API namespace, Find all API namespace
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for identity and authentication only.
Unkey's API provides programmatic access for all resources within our platform. Authentication This API uses HTTP Bearer authentication with root keys. Most endpoints require specific permissions associated with your root key. When making requests, include your root key in the `Authorization` header: All responses follow a consistent envelope structure that separates operational metadata from actu. The API exposes 42 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
