Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Shikimori API to your agent

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

★ Identity and Authentication Operations

Use the Shikimori API to perform identity auth operations programmatically. The API provides 57 endpoints covering core functionality including list animes, show an anime, get anime roles.

Call GET /api/animes to list animes

Automated Animes Management

Automate animes operations by combining multiple Shikimori API endpoints. Agents can show an anime and then get anime roles in a single workflow.

Call GET /api/animes/{id} to show an anime, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Shikimori 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 oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'list animes', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Shikimori API oauth2 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., 'list animes') and Jentic returns the matching Shikimori API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Shikimori 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 Shikimori API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Shikimori API use?

The Shikimori API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 list animes with the Shikimori API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Shikimori 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 list animes through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Shikimori API have?

The Shikimori API exposes 57 endpoints covering animes, characters, clubs operations.
