For Agents
Programmatically upload a video file, upload video by url. Covers 3 operations with apiKey authentication.
Use for: I need to upload a video file, I want to upload video by url, Search for a captioning task, List all records from ZapCap API
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ZapCap 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%2Fzapcap.ai%2Fzapcap" | 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%2Fzapcap.ai%2Fzapcap" | 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 ZapCap API.
Upload a video file
Create a captioning task
Integrate ZapCap API into automated workflows
Query and filter ZapCap API records by parameters
GET STARTED
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for media and content only.
ZapCap API for automated video captioning and subtitle generation. The API exposes 3 endpoints secured with apiKey authentication.
Monitor ZapCap API operational status and events
Patterns agents use ZapCap API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Media and Content Operations
Use the ZapCap API to perform media operations programmatically. The API provides 3 endpoints covering core functionality including upload a video file, upload video by url, create a captioning task.
Call POST /videos to upload a video file
Automated Tasks Management
Automate tasks operations by combining multiple ZapCap API endpoints. Agents can upload video by url and then create a captioning task in a single workflow.
Call POST /videos/url to upload video by url, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ZapCap 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 'upload a video file', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring ZapCap by hand means setting its x-api-key header on every request, uploading video by file or by URL, and polling the task endpoint yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import ZapCap from the API Directory, store the key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
ZapCap puts the video id in the URL path (/videos/{videoId}/task), so a rule can pin your agent to work on one uploaded video and start tasks for it. You choose the operations it may call, so it can create tasks for that video without being able to touch others.
Credential isolation
Your ZapCap 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 'upload a video for captioning' or 'start a video task', and Jentic returns the matching ZapCap operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

Specific to using ZapCap API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ZapCap API use?
The ZapCap API uses an API key passed in the `x-api-key` 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 upload a video file with the ZapCap API?
Yes. Use the POST /videos endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ZapCap 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 upload a video file through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'upload a video file'. Jentic returns the matching ZapCap API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ZapCap API have?
The ZapCap API exposes 3 endpoints covering tasks, videos operations.
