Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the My Business Account Management API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the My Business Account Management 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

Manage who can administer Google Business Profile accounts and locations. Add admins, accept invitations, and transfer locations between accounts.

Use for: Invite a teammate as an admin on a Business Profile account, List all pending admin invitations for the current user, Accept an inbound admin invitation to a location, Transfer a location from one Business Profile account to another

Not supported: Does not edit business hours, categories, posts, reviews, or verifications - use for Business Profile account access and ownership management only.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use My Business Account Management API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Onboarding and Offboarding Admins

When staff join or leave, agencies need to add or revoke their access to dozens of Business Profile accounts in one pass. The admins resource supports POST to invite, GET to list, and DELETE to revoke, so the offboarding workflow becomes a single fan-out across accounts. This avoids the manual click-through of the Business Profile UI for each location.

List all accounts via /v1/accounts, then for each call /v1/{parent}/admins to add the new hire's email with role MANAGER and confirm a pending invite is returned.

Agency Location Transfer

When an agency hands a location back to a client, the location must move from the agency's account to the client's. The transfer endpoint on the account resource performs this move atomically, preserving reviews, posts, and history. Combine with admin management to remove the agency's lingering access after the transfer completes.

Call POST /v1/{name}:transfer on the source account with destinationAccount set to the client's accountName, then verify the location no longer appears under the source account.

Invitation Inbox Triage

Multi-brand operators receive admin invitations from many client accounts. The invitations resource lets a workflow list pending invites, accept the legitimate ones, and decline the rest, keeping the operator's access surface tidy. This replaces watching the Business Profile UI for invitation banners.

GET /v1/{parent}/invitations, accept any with targetType ACCOUNT_ONLY by POSTing to /v1/{name}:accept, and decline the rest.

AI Agent Access Audits

An AI agent reachable through Jentic runs scheduled audits of who can administer each Business Profile account, flags external users, and removes stale access without exposing OAuth credentials. Jentic's intent search returns the right Account Management operation per task while your Jentic One instance keeps refresh tokens isolated from the agent context.

Search Jentic for 'list admins on a Google Business account', load accounts.admins.list, and report any admin whose email domain is not on an allow-list.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Google OAuth credential 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 'invite an admin to a Google Business account' or 'list Business Profile accounts', and Jentic returns the matching Account Management operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using My Business Account Management API through Jentic.

What authentication does the My Business Account Management API use?

OAuth 2.0 with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/business.manage scope. The token must belong to a user that already has at least manager access on the target accounts. Jentic stores the refresh token encrypted in your Jentic One instance and refreshes the access token on demand.

Can I transfer a location between two accounts via the API?

Yes. POST /v1/{name}:transfer on the source account with destinationAccount set to the receiving account's resource name. The caller must have ownership on both accounts for the transfer to succeed.

What are the rate limits for the My Business Account Management API?

Default quota is 0 QPM until you request Business Profile API access. Once approved Google sets per-minute and per-day quotas visible in Cloud Console; bulk admin sweeps should batch invitations and back off on 429 responses.

How do I add an admin to a Business Profile through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'invite admin to a Google Business account', load accounts.admins.create, and execute it with the parent account name and the invitee's email plus role. Jentic handles OAuth refresh and returns the pending invitation resource.

Can this API change a location's address or hours?

No. Account Management only manages access and ownership. Location content edits live in the My Business Business Information API; reviews, posts, and media live in the older v4 Google My Business API.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the My Business Account Management API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. Because this API puts the account or admin name in the URL path for calls like /v1/{name}:transfer, :accept, and :decline, you can pin the agent to a single Business Profile account and let it only list accounts and accept invitations there. Operations such as transferring location ownership or declining invitations stay unavailable unless you explicitly add them, and your Google OAuth credential is injected at execution time rather than exposed to the agent.
