For Agents
Programmatically get current user, list accessible modules. Covers 25 operations with basic authentication.
Use for: I need to current user, I want to accessible modules, Search for describe module metadata, Find all a record
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Vtiger REST 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# 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 Vtiger REST API API.
Get current user
List accessible modules
Describe module metadata
Create a record
Retrieve a record
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or developer tools — use for crm only.
Vtiger CRM REST API for managing CRM records, modules, relationships, tags, and performing queries and sync operations. The API exposes 25 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Update a record
Partial update a record
Patterns agents use Vtiger REST API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the Vtiger REST API to perform crm operations programmatically. The API provides 25 endpoints covering core functionality including get current user, list accessible modules, describe module metadata.
Call GET /me to get current user
Automated Accounts Management
Automate accounts operations by combining multiple Vtiger REST API endpoints. Agents can list accessible modules and then describe module metadata in a single workflow.
Call GET /listtypes to list accessible modules, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Vtiger REST 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 basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'get current user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Vtiger REST API basic 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 current user') and Jentic returns the matching Vtiger REST API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Vtiger REST 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 Vtiger REST API API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Vtiger REST API use?
The Vtiger REST API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 current user with the Vtiger REST API?
Yes. Use the GET /me endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Vtiger REST 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 current user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get current user'. Jentic returns the matching Vtiger REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Vtiger REST API have?
The Vtiger REST API exposes 25 endpoints covering accounts, authentication, files operations.
/revise
Partial update a record
/delete
Delete a record
