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 apiKey tokens manually. Example prompt: Search Jentic for '/available/products', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials ## Key endpoints | Method | Path | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | POST | `/available/products` | `/available/products` | | POST | `/booking/availability` | `/booking/availability` | | GET | `/booking/availability/dates` | `/booking/availability/dates` | | POST | `/booking/availability/tourgrades` | `/booking/availability/tourgrades` | | POST | `/booking/availability/tourgrades/pricingmatrix` | `/booking/availability/tourgrades/pricingmatrix` | | POST | `/booking/book` | `/booking/book` | | POST | `/booking/calculateprice` | `/booking/calculateprice` | | GET | `/booking/hotels` | `/booking/hotels` | ## Key resources - **General services** — General services - **Taxonomy services** — Taxonomy services - **Product services** — Product services - **Booking services** — Booking services - **Deprecated services** — Deprecated services ## AI readiness This API is usable in Jentic One now.

Through Jentic you install once, import the Viator API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it. - **Permission scoping:** Viator takes booking and availability targets in the request body rather than the URL path, so scope the agent to the operations it needs, such as checking availability or calculating a price. You choose that set, so a committing operation like booking a tour is not included unless you add it. - **Credential handling:** Your Viator API 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. - **Discovery method:** Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'check tour availability for a date' or 'calculate a booking price', and Jentic returns the matching Viator operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs. ## Related APIs - **Github** — Alternative developer tools API - **Gitlab** — Alternative developer tools API ## FAQ ### What authentication does the Viator API Documentation & Specification - Merchant Partners use?
