Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Vtiger VTAP 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.
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%2Fvtiger.com%2Fvtiger-vtap-rest-api" | 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%2Fvtiger.com%2Fvtiger-vtap-rest-api" | 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 VTAP REST API.
Get current user
List accessible modules
Describe module metadata
Create a record
GET STARTED
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
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.
Retrieve a record
Update a record
Partial update a record
Patterns agents use Vtiger VTAP REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ CRM Operations
Use the Vtiger VTAP 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 VTAP 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 VTAP 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

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Vtiger VTAP REST API by hand means setting up HTTP basic auth with your CRM email as username and access key as password, resolving your own instance host, and passing those on every call. Through Jentic you install once, import the Vtiger VTAP REST API from the API Directory, store the email and access key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Vtiger VTAP REST API routes actions through generic operations like /create, /retrieve, /update and /delete rather than per-record URL paths, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as retrieve and create, and leave destructive ones like delete or revise out of the allowed set unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Vtiger VTAP email and access key are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get the current user' or 'update a record', and Jentic returns the matching Vtiger VTAP REST API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using Vtiger VTAP REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Vtiger VTAP REST API use?
The Vtiger VTAP REST API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 get current user with the Vtiger VTAP 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 VTAP 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 through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get current user'. Jentic returns the matching Vtiger VTAP REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Vtiger VTAP REST API have?
The Vtiger VTAP REST API exposes 25 endpoints covering accounts, authentication, files operations.
/revise
Partial update a record
/delete
Delete a record
