Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the BusyBusy API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the BusyBusy 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 | sh

Step 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 instance

Jentic 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.

For Agents

Drive end-to-end BusyBusy workflows: time entries, projects, members, equipment, certifications, and cost data. Authenticate with a Token in the Authorization header.

Use for: I need to create a time entry for a field worker on a specific project, List all active projects in the BusyBusy account, Find equipment currently assigned to a given member, Add a certification record and attach a scanned credential

Not supported: Does not handle payroll runs, GPS-only location tracking, or accounting ledger entries - use for time, project, equipment, certification, and budget management only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use BusyBusy API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Construction Time and Project Sync

Synchronise time entries, projects, and members between BusyBusy and a construction ERP or job-costing tool. Operations teams use the full API surface to backfill historical entries, push project structures, and reconcile member assignments. Initial sync of 1,000 time entries typically completes in under an hour.

Pull all time entries for the last pay period, group by project and cost code, and post a summary to the accounting system

Equipment and Certification Auditing

Run scheduled audits over equipment assignments, certifications, and certification-equipment links. Compliance and safety officers use this to ensure each piece of equipment is operated only by certified members. Reports can be generated nightly with a single agent run.

List all certification-equipment links, flag equipment whose assigned operator's certification expires within 14 days, and email the safety lead

Project Budget Variance Reporting

Combine budget hours, budget cost, and time entries to produce live variance reports per project. Project managers use this to spot overruns before invoicing. The /budget-hours and /budget-cost endpoints support GET and POST so an agent can both read and update plan data.

For each active project, compute actual hours from /time-entry against /budget-hours and write a variance record to /budget-cost where deviation exceeds 10%

AI Agent Field Operations

An AI agent can drive BusyBusy operations through Jentic by searching for the right endpoint by intent, loading the schema, and executing the call. With 512 endpoints, intent-based discovery removes the burden of reading docs to find the correct path.

Search Jentic for 'create busybusy time entry', load the schema for POST /time-entry, and execute with the member, project, and time fields

Why Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Your BusyBusy 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 'create a busybusy time entry' or 'link busybusy certification to equipment', and Jentic returns the matching operation like POST /time-entry or /certification-equipment-link with its input schema, so the agent finds the right path across the large surface without reading the docs.

FAQs

Specific to using BusyBusy API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for BusyBusy API?

BusyBusy does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call BusyBusy API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the BusyBusy API use?

BusyBusy uses an API key passed in the Authorization request header. Through Jentic, the key is stored in the encrypted vault and never enters the agent's context - agents receive a scoped token at execution time.

Can I create time entries with the BusyBusy API?

Yes. The full BusyBusy API exposes time entry resources alongside members, projects, and cost codes, so an agent can create, list, and update time records to drive payroll, billing, or compliance workflows.

What are the rate limits for the BusyBusy API?

BusyBusy does not document hard rate limits in the spec. For high-volume sync jobs, batch reads on the larger collections (members, time entries, budgets) and back off on 5xx responses rather than hammering tight loops.

How do I link a certification to a piece of equipment through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, then search Jentic with the query 'link busybusy certification to equipment', load the schema for POST /certification-equipment-link, and execute with the certification and equipment IDs.

How is this spec different from the smaller busybusy spec?

Both target the same base URL (https://api.busybusy.io) and the same X-API-Key authentication. The busybusy-api spec covers all 512 endpoints in the public surface; the busybusy spec curates 14 endpoints around the most common resources for lightweight integrations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the BusyBusy API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which BusyBusy operations and credentials the agent may use. You can allow only the reads it needs, such as GET /certification to read credentials or GET /budget-hours to read plan data, while write operations like POST /certification-record, POST /budget-cost, or POST /api-key stay out of reach unless you add them. Since BusyBusy identifies records through query and body fields rather than URL path ids, scoping happens at the operation level you grant.
