For Agents

Register and authenticate users, configure multi-tenant applications, issue OAuth 2.0 tokens, and manage two-factor enrollment across self-hosted or cloud FusionAuth instances.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the FusionAuth API to your agent

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

Use Cases

Patterns agents use FusionAuth API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI Agent User Registration

AI agents register users to FusionAuth applications through Jentic by searching for the registration operation, loading the schema (userId, applicationId, roles, data), and executing POST /api/user/registration. The agent handles the full flow from user creation to application-specific role assignment in a single session without reading FusionAuth documentation.

Create a user via POST /api/user with email and password, then register them to an application via POST /api/user/registration with specific roles assigned

Multi-Tenant Identity Isolation

Configure isolated identity environments per customer or business unit using FusionAuth tenants. Each tenant has independent user pools, login themes, password policies, and email templates. The /api/tenant endpoint enables creating and configuring tenants programmatically, supporting white-label SaaS deployments where each customer gets their own branded login experience.

Create a new tenant via POST /api/tenant with custom password rules and email configuration, then create an application within that tenant

Two-Factor Authentication Enrollment

Add a second factor to user accounts by generating TOTP secrets, sending SMS or email verification codes, and validating enrollment. FusionAuth supports TOTP authenticator apps, SMS-based codes, and email-based codes. The /api/two-factor/{userId} endpoints handle enrollment, and /api/two-factor/login validates codes during sign-in.

Generate a TOTP secret via GET /api/two-factor/secret, enroll it for a user via POST /api/user/two-factor/{userId}, then verify a code via POST /api/two-factor/login

External Identity Provider Federation

Link external SAML 2.0, OpenID Connect, or social login providers (Google, Apple, Facebook) to FusionAuth for federated authentication. The /api/identity-provider endpoints configure provider settings, attribute mappings, and linking strategies. Users can sign in via external providers while FusionAuth maintains the canonical user record.

Create a SAML v2 identity provider via POST /api/identity-provider with metadata URL and attribute mappings, then initiate a login flow via POST /api/identity-provider/start

User Search and Bulk Operations

Search across user profiles using Elasticsearch-powered queries with filters on custom data fields, registration status, and login timestamps. The /api/user/search endpoint accepts queryString or structured queries. Bulk operations like /api/user/bulk enable mass deactivation or deletion for compliance workflows.

Search for all users registered to a specific application who last logged in more than 90 days ago via POST /api/user/search with an Elasticsearch query, then bulk deactivate inactive accounts

Key Endpoints

314 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for fusionauth api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

FusionAuth API keys are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive properly formatted Authorization headers with the API key — raw keys never enter the agent's context window.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'register a user to an application') and Jentic returns matching FusionAuth operations with full schemas including required fields, so the agent can call POST /api/user/registration without navigating 314 endpoints.

Time to first call

Direct FusionAuth integration: 2-5 days for API key setup, endpoint discovery across 173 paths, and multi-tenant configuration. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using FusionAuth API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for FusionAuth API?

FusionAuth does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call FusionAuth API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the FusionAuth API use?

The FusionAuth API uses API key authentication via the Authorization header. API keys are created in the FusionAuth admin UI and scoped to specific tenants and endpoints. Some endpoints also accept JWT bearer tokens for user-context operations. Through Jentic, API keys are stored in the MAXsystem vault and agents receive properly formatted Authorization headers.

Can I register users to specific applications with the FusionAuth API?

Yes. POST /api/user/registration accepts a userId and registration object containing applicationId, roles array, and custom data fields. Users can be registered to multiple applications within the same tenant, each with different role assignments. Through Jentic, search for 'register user to application' to load the operation schema and execute.

What are the rate limits for the FusionAuth API?

FusionAuth is self-hosted, so rate limits depend on your deployment's hardware and configuration. The default installation has no enforced rate limits at the API level. For FusionAuth Cloud deployments, rate limits vary by plan tier. The /api/status endpoint returns server health metrics to monitor capacity.

How do I search users by custom attributes through the FusionAuth API via Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'search fusionauth users' to find the POST /api/user/search operation. The schema accepts a search object with queryString (Elasticsearch query syntax) or structured query with filters on registrations.applicationId, data.customField, insertInstant ranges, and more. Results include full user profiles with registration data.

Does the FusionAuth API support WebAuthn passkeys?

Yes. POST /api/webauthn/register/start initiates passkey registration by generating a challenge and credential creation options. POST /api/webauthn/register/complete finalizes registration with the authenticator response. For login, POST /api/webauthn/start generates an assertion challenge and POST /api/webauthn/assert verifies the response.

Can I configure multiple tenants with the FusionAuth API?

Yes. POST /api/tenant creates a new tenant with its own password rules, email templates, SMTP configuration, and login theme. Each tenant has an isolated user pool. Applications are scoped to tenants. The X-FusionAuth-TenantId header routes API requests to the correct tenant when managing multi-tenant deployments.
