For Agents
Programmatically get user profiles, search for users. Covers 14 operations with oauth2 authentication.
Use for: I need to user profiles, I want to for users, Search for wall posts, Find all a wall post
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the VK 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://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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 VK API.
Get user profiles
Search for users
Create a wall post
Query and filter VK API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, crm, or developer tools — use for communications only.
VK (formerly VKontakte) is a Russian social network. This API provides access to user data, wall posts, friends, groups, photos, and messages. The API exposes 14 endpoints secured with oauth2 authentication.
Monitor VK API operational status and events
Patterns agents use VK API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Communications Operations
Use the VK API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 14 endpoints covering core functionality including get user profiles, search for users, get wall posts.
Call GET /users.get to get user profiles
Automated Friends.Get Management
Automate friends.get operations by combining multiple VK API endpoints. Agents can search for users and then get wall posts in a single workflow.
Call GET /users.search to search for users, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call VK 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 oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get user profiles', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
VK API oauth2 credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'get user profiles') and Jentic returns the matching VK API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct VK API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using VK API through Jentic.
What authentication does the VK API use?
The VK API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I get user profiles with the VK API?
Yes. Use the GET /users.get endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the VK 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 get user profiles through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get user profiles'. Jentic returns the matching VK API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the VK API have?
The VK API exposes 14 endpoints covering friends.get, groups.get, groups.getbyid operations.
/groups.getById
Get communities by ID
/photos.get
Get photos
