For Agents
Programmatically list apps, play media. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.
I need to apps, I want to play media, Search for drm license, List all records from webOS TV API
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the webOS TV 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%2Fwebostv.lge.com%2Fwebostv-lge" | 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%2Fwebostv.lge.com%2Fwebostv-lge" | 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 webOS TV API.
List apps
Play media
Get DRM license
Query and filter webOS TV API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.
LG webOS TV developer API including DRM and media services. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor webOS TV API operational status and events
Patterns agents use webOS TV API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the webOS TV API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including list apps, play media, get drm license.
Call GET /apps to list apps
Automated Apps Management
Automate apps operations by combining multiple webOS TV API endpoints. Agents can play media and then get drm license in a single workflow.
Call POST /media/play to play media, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call webOS TV 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 apiKey tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'list apps', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the webOS TV API by hand means learning its API key header, pointing at api.webostv.lge.com, and handling responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the webOS TV API from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
This API groups its work into operations rather than putting a resource id in the URL path, so limit the agent to the operations it needs, such as listing apps. You choose the operations it may call, so state-changing ones like playing media or requesting a DRM license are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your webOS TV 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.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'list apps' or 'play media', and Jentic returns the matching webOS TV operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using webOS TV API through Jentic.
What authentication does the webOS TV API use?
The webOS TV API uses an API key passed 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 list apps with the webOS TV API?
Yes. Use the GET /apps endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the webOS TV 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 list apps through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'list apps'. Jentic returns the matching webOS TV API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the webOS TV API have?
The webOS TV API exposes 3 endpoints covering apps, drm, media operations.
