Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Quotable API to your agent

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

★ Identity and Authentication Operations

Use the Quotable API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 9 endpoints covering core functionality including get random quotes, get a single random quote (deprecated), list quotes with pagination.

Call GET /quotes/random to get random quotes

Automated Quotes Management

Automate quotes operations by combining multiple Quotable API endpoints. Agents can get a single random quote (deprecated) and then list quotes with pagination in a single workflow.

Call GET /random to get a single random quote (deprecated), then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Quotable 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 none tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'get random quotes', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Quotable API none credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search by intent (e.g., 'get random quotes') and Jentic returns the matching Quotable API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Quotable API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs

Specific to using Quotable API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Quotable API use?

The Quotable API uses no authentication. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I get random quotes with the Quotable API?

Yes. Use the GET /quotes/random endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Quotable 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 get random quotes through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'get random quotes'. Jentic returns the matching Quotable API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the Quotable API have?

The Quotable API exposes 9 endpoints covering quotes, authors, search operations.
