For Agents

Pull end-of-day and intraday stock prices, list tickers and exchanges, and look up dividends or splits across 70+ global stock exchanges in normalized JSON.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Marketstack API to your agent

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

★ Quantitative Backtesting

Quant researchers and individual traders need clean OHLCV data for backtesting strategies. Marketstack returns normalized end-of-day prices in JSON for tickers across 70+ exchanges, removing the need to maintain per-exchange ingestion code. A typical backtest pulls 5-10 years of EOD bars for a basket of tickers in a single batch request loop.

Call `GET /eod` with `symbols=AAPL,MSFT,GOOG` and `date_from=2024-01-01&date_to=2024-12-31` and return a daily close-price series.

Portfolio Dashboard Refresh

Personal finance dashboards and fintech apps display the latest closing price and daily change for each holding. Marketstack's `/eod/latest` endpoint returns the most recent EOD bar across requested symbols in a single call, and `/intraday/latest` handles same-day moves during market hours. Dashboards typically refresh every 5-15 minutes.

Call `GET /eod/latest?symbols=NVDA,AMD` and compute the percentage change vs the previous close.

Corporate Actions Tracking

Investment platforms need to adjust positions for dividends and splits to keep cost basis correct. Marketstack exposes dedicated `/dividends` and `/splits` endpoints filtered by symbol and date range so reconciliation jobs can detect new corporate actions and apply adjustments to historical price series.

Call `GET /dividends?symbols=KO&date_from=2025-01-01` and reconcile the dividend payments against the holdings ledger.

AI Agent Market Research

An AI investment assistant can use Jentic to call Marketstack on demand when a user asks about a stock's recent performance or dividend history. Jentic stores the `access_key` securely and exposes Marketstack operations behind intent-based search, so the agent never embeds the key in a prompt or source file.

Search Jentic for 'get latest stock price', load the Marketstack `/eod/latest` schema, and execute it for symbol 'TSLA' to answer the user's question.

Key Endpoints

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Marketstack access key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'get end of day stock price' or 'list ticker dividends', and Jentic returns the matching Marketstack operation with its query schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Marketstack API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Marketstack API?

Marketstack does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call the Marketstack API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started with Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer.

What authentication does the Marketstack API use?

Marketstack uses an `access_key` query-string parameter on every request. Through Jentic, the key is stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time so the agent never sees the raw value.

Can I get intraday stock prices with the Marketstack API?

Yes. The `GET /intraday` endpoint returns minute-level quotes for supported tickers, and `GET /intraday/latest` returns the most recent intraday bar. Intraday coverage depends on your Marketstack plan tier.

What are the rate limits for the Marketstack API?

Marketstack rate-limits by plan: the Free tier allows 100 requests per month, with paid plans extending to 10,000-1,000,000+ requests per month. The API does not enforce a strict per-second limit but reuses the apilayer infrastructure pattern.

How do I fetch end-of-day prices through Jentic?

Run `pip install jentic`, then use Jentic's search with the query 'get end of day stock price'. Jentic loads the `/eod` operation schema and your agent executes it with the desired tickers and date range - no manual auth wiring required.

Does the Marketstack API cover non-US exchanges?

Yes. Marketstack covers 70+ global stock exchanges. Use `GET /exchanges` to enumerate them and pass the appropriate MIC code via the `exchange` parameter on price queries.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Marketstack operations the agent may call, and since every endpoint is a read-only price or reference lookup, you scope access one operation at a time. You can allow only what the agent needs, such as fetching end-of-day prices from /eod, pulling intraday quotes from /intraday, or reading dividends from /dividends, and leave out the rest. Your Marketstack access key stays under your control and is injected at execution time, so the agent never sees the raw value or reaches operations you did not grant.
