For Agents

Pull the latest business news articles by free-text query. One endpoint, no auth - designed for agents that need fresh business news context.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the BizToc to your agent

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

★ Real-Time Business News Lookup for an Assistant

An AI assistant needs to answer 'what's the latest news on Apple?' with fresh content rather than its training cutoff. The /ai/news endpoint accepts a query string and returns matching aggregated business news articles, which the assistant can summarise or cite. This is a drop-in source for any agent that needs current business context with zero credential setup.

Call GET /ai/news?query=apple, take the top three results, and summarise them into a short briefing.

Ticker-Driven News Aggregation

Trading tools and research dashboards use the BizToc query parameter to pull stories for a list of watched tickers on a schedule. Because the endpoint searches both title and body text, it surfaces stories that mention a company even when the headline does not. The result is a low-effort news feed for portfolio monitoring without standing up a full news crawler.

Iterate over a watchlist of tickers, call GET /ai/news?query={ticker} for each, and emit a digest grouping the top story per ticker.

Topic Briefing Generator

Generate a topical briefing for a sector or trend by querying BizToc for the keyword and combining the returned articles into a short report. Because the API is keyword-search rather than category-driven, it works equally well for niche topics like 'lithium battery supply chain' or broad ones like 'AI'. The briefing pipeline can run unattended, no auth, no token rotation.

Call GET /ai/news?query=AI%20chips, deduplicate by source, and produce a 200-word briefing with three citations.

Agent Discovery via Jentic

An AI agent investigating a research question searches Jentic for a 'latest business news' tool and gets the BizToc /ai/news operation back. Jentic returns the input schema (query string) and the agent calls the endpoint directly. No credential plumbing is required because the API is open, which makes BizToc a useful default news source in agent toolkits.

Use Jentic search for 'get the latest business news about a company', load the schema, then execute GET /ai/news?query={company_name}.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

BizToc requires no credentials, so there is nothing to store, and your own Jentic One instance proxies the call without any secret entering the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get the latest business news about a company', and Jentic returns the BizToc /ai/news operation with its query schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using BizToc API through Jentic.

What authentication does the BizToc API use?

The OpenAPI spec declares no security schemes - the /ai/news endpoint is open and does not require an API key for the documented usage. When called through Jentic the request is proxied without injecting any credentials.

Can I filter BizToc news by topic with this API?

Yes, indirectly. /ai/news accepts a query string that matches both article titles and bodies. There is no formal topic taxonomy, so use a keyword like 'lithium' or 'AI chips' to bias the results toward a topic, and post-filter on the article metadata if needed.

What are the rate limits for the BizToc API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare a published rate limit. BizToc is an aggregator with finite capacity, so design for retry-with-backoff on 429 or 5xx responses and avoid hammering the endpoint in tight loops.

How do I search BizToc news with this API through Jentic?

Install with pip install jentic, then use Jentic search with 'get the latest business news about a company'. Jentic loads the GET /ai/news operation and executes it with your query parameter. No credentials are stored because the endpoint is open.

Is the BizToc API free?

The /ai/news endpoint as exposed in this OpenAPI spec is callable without an API key. BizToc may rate-limit or restrict heavy use over time, so check the BizToc website if you plan to run high-volume polling.

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

Yes. BizToc exposes a single read operation, GET /ai/news, which searches the latest business news headlines by free-text query, and Jentic One runs self-hosted so your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. You can scope the agent to just that one news-search call, and nothing beyond it runs unless you add it. Because the endpoint is open, there are no credentials to grant, so the only access you are controlling is which operation the agent may invoke.
