For Agents

Programmatically list user vehicles, get vehicle info. Covers 21 operations with basic, oauth2 authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the Smartcar API to your agent

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

★ Maps and Geolocation Operations

Use the Smartcar API to perform maps geolocation operations programmatically. The API provides 21 endpoints covering core functionality including list user vehicles, get vehicle info, get vin.

Call GET /vehicles to list user vehicles

Automated Vehicles Management

Automate vehicles operations by combining multiple Smartcar API endpoints. Agents can get vehicle info and then get vin in a single workflow.

Call GET /vehicles/{vehicleId} to get vehicle info, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call Smartcar 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, oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'list user vehicles', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Key Endpoints

21 endpoints — lock and unlock vehicles and get data like odometer reading and location.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your Smartcar credential 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 a vehicle's location' or 'read the odometer', and Jentic returns the matching Smartcar operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using Smartcar API through Jentic.

What authentication does the Smartcar API use?

The Smartcar API uses basic, oauth2 authentication. 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 list user vehicles with the Smartcar API?

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

What are the rate limits for the Smartcar 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 list user vehicles through Jentic?

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

How many endpoints does the Smartcar API have?

The Smartcar API exposes 21 endpoints covering vehicles, control, ev operations.

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

Yes. Jentic One runs self-hosted, so your own rules decide which Smartcar operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Smartcar puts the vehicle id in the URL path (/vehicles/{vehicleId}/...), you can pin the agent to a single vehicle and grant only specific reads, such as GET /vehicles/{vehicleId}/location, /odometer, /fuel, or /tires/pressure, while withholding everything else. Any operation you do not grant is simply unavailable to the agent.
