Programmatically create a new user, list users. Covers 20 operations with oauth2 authentication.

Install Jentic One Beta

Connect the D2L Brightspace API to your agent

Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the D2L Brightspace 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 D2L Brightspace API for, with concrete tasks.

★ Education Operations

Use the D2L Brightspace API to perform education operations programmatically. The API provides 20 endpoints covering core functionality including create a new user, list users, get user by id.

Call POST /d2l/api/lp/{version}/users/ to create a new user

Automated Users Management

Automate users operations by combining multiple D2L Brightspace API endpoints. Agents can list users and then get user by id in a single workflow.

Call GET /d2l/api/lp/{version}/users/ to list users, then verify the result

AI Agent Integration via Jentic

AI agents discover and call D2L Brightspace 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 oauth2 tokens manually.

Search Jentic for 'create a new user', 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 D2L Brightspace OAuth 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 a new user' or 'update a course offering', and Jentic returns the matching D2L Brightspace operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs

Specific to using D2L Brightspace API through Jentic.

What authentication does the D2L Brightspace API use?

The D2L Brightspace API uses OAuth 2.0 for authorization. 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 a new user with the D2L Brightspace API?

Yes. Use the POST /d2l/api/lp/{version}/users/ endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.

What are the rate limits for the D2L Brightspace 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 a new user through Jentic?

Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a new user'. Jentic returns the matching D2L Brightspace API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.

How many endpoints does the D2L Brightspace API have?

The D2L Brightspace API exposes 20 endpoints covering users, courses, enrollments operations.

Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the D2L Brightspace API?

Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted, so your own rules decide which D2L Brightspace operations your agent may call and which stored OAuth credentials it may use. Because Brightspace puts the user id and org unit id in the URL path (/users/{userId}, /courses/{orgUnitId}), a rule can pin the agent to a single user or course. You also choose the operation set, so destructive calls like deleting a course offering are excluded unless you explicitly add them.
