Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the SportsData.io NFL API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SportsData.io NFL 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.

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call SportsData.io NFL 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 apiKey tokens manually.

Why Jentic?

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

Credential isolation

Your SportsData.io API 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 regular season standings' or 'list active players for a team', and Jentic returns the matching SportsData.io NFL API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using SportsData.io NFL API through Jentic.

What authentication does the SportsData.io NFL API use?

The SportsData.io NFL API uses an API key passed in the `key` query. 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 get regular season standings for all teams with the SportsData.io NFL API?

Yes. Use the GET /json/Standings/{season} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the SportsData.io NFL 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 get regular season standings for all teams through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get regular season standings for all teams'. Jentic returns the matching SportsData.io NFL API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the SportsData.io NFL API have?

The SportsData.io NFL API exposes 9 endpoints covering standings, teams, players operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SportsData.io NFL API?

Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which SportsData.io NFL operations your agent may call, so you can grant only read endpoints such as GET /json/Standings/{season}, GET /json/Teams, or the player lookups and withhold the rest. Every operation is a read, and values like season and team are URL filters rather than owned resources, so the honest boundary is naming the operations the agent needs rather than scoping to one team. Your API key is stored encrypted by your own instance and injected at execution time, so a narrowed set of allowed operations is enforced without exposing the credential to the agent.
