Programmatically create order, list orders. Covers 40 operations with basic authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the ShipStation API to your agent

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

★ E-Commerce Operations

Use the ShipStation API to perform e commerce operations programmatically. The API provides 40 endpoints covering core functionality including create order, list orders, get order.

Call POST /orders to create order

Automated Account Management

Automate account operations by combining multiple ShipStation API endpoints. Agents can list orders and then get order in a single workflow.

Call GET /orders to list orders, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call ShipStation 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 basic tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'create order', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your ShipStation credentials are stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. They never enter the agent's prompt, logs, or context.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'create an order' or 'mark an order as shipped', and Jentic returns the matching ShipStation operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using ShipStation API through Jentic.

What authentication does the ShipStation API use?

The ShipStation API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.

Can I create order with the ShipStation API?

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

What are the rate limits for the ShipStation 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 create order through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create order'. Jentic returns the matching ShipStation API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the ShipStation API have?

The ShipStation API exposes 40 endpoints covering account, carriers, customers operations.

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

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which ShipStation operations and credentials your agent may use. You can allow only the calls you want, such as creating an order with POST /orders or listing orders with GET /orders, and leave a destructive operation like DELETE /orders/{orderId} out unless you explicitly add it. Since ShipStation carries the order id in the URL path (/orders/{orderId}), a rule can also pin your agent to a single order.
