Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Analytics Hub API to your agent

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

Capabilities

What an agent can do with Analytics Hub API.

List data exchanges available within an organisation or under a project parent

Create a new listing in an exchange that publishes a BigQuery dataset for sharing

Subscribe a destination project to a published listing so it appears as a linked dataset

For Agents

Publish, subscribe to, and manage shared BigQuery data products via Analytics Hub data exchanges, listings, and subscriptions.

Use for: List all Analytics Hub data exchanges I can publish into, Create a new listing under an existing data exchange, Subscribe my project to a published listing, Refresh an existing Analytics Hub subscription

Not supported: Does not run BigQuery queries, copy datasets, or manage compute reservations - use for Analytics Hub data exchanges, listings, and subscriptions only.

Analytics Hub is Google Cloud's data exchange built on top of BigQuery. The API manages data exchanges, listings (the published shareable assets), and subscriptions (the consumer side that surfaces a listing in a destination project's BigQuery dataset). It supports listing, creating, subscribing, refreshing, and revoking these resources, plus IAM-style policy management on each. It is intended for organisations that publish or consume data products across project, team, or organisation boundaries.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Analytics Hub API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Cross-Team Data Product Publishing

A central data platform team curates BigQuery datasets and wants other teams across the organisation to subscribe to them rather than duplicating or copying tables. The Analytics Hub API creates a data exchange, registers a listing pointing at the source dataset, and exposes the listing for consumers to subscribe to. The consumer's BigQuery sees a linked dataset with no copy or storage cost.

POST /v1/{+parent}/dataExchanges to create the exchange, then POST /v1/{+parent}/listings with a bigqueryDataset source pointing at projects/{p}/datasets/{ds}.

Consumer Subscription Workflow

A consumer team wants to subscribe to a published listing so the dataset appears in their own BigQuery project. Calling :subscribe on the listing creates a linked dataset in the destination project. :refresh keeps the subscription current after the publisher updates the source, and :revoke ends access. This replaces ad-hoc table copies and email requests for access.

POST /v1/{+name}:subscribe on the listing with destinationDataset set to the consumer's project, then schedule periodic POST /v1/{+name}:refresh on the resulting subscription.

Access Audit on Shared Listings

Compliance teams need to know which consumer projects subscribe to a sensitive listing and revoke any that should no longer have access. List subscriptions on the listing returns each consumer subscription, and per-subscription IAM gives the binding details. A periodic audit job iterates these and emits a report.

List subscriptions under the listing, GET /v1/{+name} for each to capture state and consumer project, and surface anything that no longer matches the access policy.

Agent-Led Data Sharing

An agent integrating Analytics Hub through Jentic can interpret 'share this dataset with the analytics team' as a chain of create-listing and subscribe operations. Jentic isolates the Google Cloud service account and exposes the operation schemas, so the agent does not need bespoke OAuth or BigQuery dataset wiring code - the data exchange, listing, and subscription steps are direct tool calls.

Use the Jentic search query 'create an Analytics Hub listing' to discover /v1/{+parent}/listings, create the listing, then call :subscribe to attach the consumer project.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Google service account credential is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and rotated into short-lived access tokens at execution time. The key never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create an Analytics Hub listing' or 'subscribe to a data exchange', and Jentic returns the matching Analytics Hub operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Analytics Hub API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Analytics Hub API use?

OAuth 2.0 with the cloud-platform or bigquery scopes, typically via a Google Cloud service account that holds Analytics Hub roles on the relevant resources. Jentic stores the service account JSON in your Jentic One instance and only short-lived access tokens reach the agent.

Can I subscribe a consumer project to a listing through the API?

Yes. Call POST /v1/{+name}:subscribe on the listing with the consumer's destinationDataset, and a linked BigQuery dataset is created in that consumer project. Use :refresh to update and :revoke to remove access.

What are the rate limits for the Analytics Hub API?

Analytics Hub is governed by per-project Google Cloud quotas listed under the Analytics Hub service. Subscriptions are also subject to BigQuery dataset and project limits in the destination project.

How do I publish a BigQuery dataset as a listing through Jentic?

Search Jentic for 'create an Analytics Hub listing', load the schema for /v1/{+parent}/listings, and execute it with a bigqueryDataset source pointing at projects/{p}/datasets/{ds}. Run pip install jentic and use the async search, load, execute pattern.

Does Analytics Hub copy the source dataset?

No. Listings are linked datasets - consumers query the publisher's data in place via BigQuery. The publisher pays storage and the consumer pays query compute, so there is no duplicate storage cost from sharing through Analytics Hub.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Analytics Hub operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the API puts the parent and resource names in the URL path (such as /v1/{+parent}/dataExchanges and /v1/{+name}:subscribe), you can pin the agent to one project's exchanges and listings so it only reads them. You also choose the exact operations it can call, so write actions like subscribe, refresh, or revoke are excluded unless you add them.
