Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Shotstack to your agent

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

★ Media and Content Operations

Use the Shotstack to perform media operations programmatically. The API provides 5 endpoints covering core functionality including get asset by render id, get asset, delete asset.

Call GET /assets/render/{id} to get asset by render id

Automated Assets Management

Automate assets operations by combining multiple Shotstack endpoints. Agents can get asset and then delete asset in a single workflow.

Call GET /assets/{id} to get asset, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Shotstack 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 apiKey tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'get asset by render id', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

5 endpoints — shotstack is a video, image and audio editing service that allows for the automated generation of videos, images and audio using json and a restful api.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Shotstack apiKey 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 asset by render id') and Jentic returns the matching Shotstack operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.

Time to first call

Direct Shotstack 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 Shotstack API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Shotstack use?

The Shotstack uses an API key passed in the `x-api-key` header. 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 asset by render id with the Shotstack?

Yes. Use the GET /assets/render/{id} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the Shotstack?

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 asset by render id through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Shotstack have?

The Shotstack exposes 5 endpoints covering assets, render operations.
