Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the API-Shipping to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the API-Shipping, 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.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use API-Shipping API for, with concrete tasks.

★ E-Commerce Operations

Use the API-Shipping to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 1 endpoints covering core functionality including returns shipping options.

Call POST /v1/shipping to returns shipping options

Data Retrieval and Monitoring

Query API-Shipping resources on a schedule to track changes, generate alerts, or feed downstream dashboards. Agents poll relevant endpoints, compare against previous state, and trigger actions when thresholds are crossed.

Poll the primary API-Shipping endpoint, compare response to last known state, and alert if changed

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call API-Shipping 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 oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'returns shipping options', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Ferguson client credentials 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 shipping options for an order', and Jentic returns the matching API-Shipping operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using API-Shipping API through Jentic.

What authentication does the API-Shipping use?

The API-Shipping uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 returns shipping options with the API-Shipping?

Yes. Use the POST /v1/shipping endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the API-Shipping?

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 returns shipping options through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'returns shipping options'. Jentic returns the matching API-Shipping operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the API-Shipping have?

The API-Shipping exposes 1 endpoints covering shipping operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use, so you can scope it to just the single shipping call, POST /v1/shipping, which returns rates from a request body rather than acting on a resource id in the path. Nothing beyond the operations you grant is available to the agent, and your Ferguson OAuth 2.0 credentials stay stored and injected by your own instance rather than exposed in the agent context. If you never add write or account operations, the agent can only fetch shipping rates.
