Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Sumsub API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sumsub 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 | sh2
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 instanceJentic 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.
Capabilities
What an agent can do with Sumsub API.
API health
Change top-level information
Get required ID documents
Add ID document
Monitor Sumsub API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Sumsub API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Payments Operations
Use the Sumsub API to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 82 endpoints covering core functionality including api health, change top-level information, change required documents.
Call GET /resources/status/api to api health
Automated Applicant Management
Automate applicant operations by combining multiple Sumsub API endpoints. Agents can change top-level information and then change required documents in a single workflow.
Call PATCH /resources/applicants to change top-level information, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Sumsub 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.
Search Jentic for 'api health', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
Sumsub API apiKey credentials are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault (MAXsystem). Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'api health') and Jentic returns the matching Sumsub API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct Sumsub API integration: 1-3 days for auth handling, response parsing, and error cases. Through Jentic: under 1 hour — search, load schema, execute.

FAQs
Specific to using Sumsub API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Sumsub API use?
The Sumsub API uses an API key passed in the `X-App-Token` header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in the MAXsystem vault and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I api health with the Sumsub API?
Yes. Use the GET /resources/status/api endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Sumsub 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 api health through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'api health'. Jentic returns the matching Sumsub API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Sumsub API have?
The Sumsub API exposes 82 endpoints covering applicant, transaction, check operations.
