Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the The Trade Desk API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the The Trade Desk 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.

Why Jentic?
Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
The Trade Desk API bearer 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., 'authenticate and obtain api token') and Jentic returns the matching The Trade Desk API operation with its input schema, so the agent can call the right endpoint without browsing docs.
Time to first call
Direct The Trade Desk 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 The Trade Desk API through Jentic.
What authentication does the The Trade Desk API use?
The The Trade Desk API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization 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 authenticate and obtain api token with the The Trade Desk API?
Yes. Use the POST /authentication endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the The Trade Desk 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 authenticate and obtain api token through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up, then search for 'authenticate and obtain api token'. Jentic returns the matching The Trade Desk API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call — credentials are injected automatically.
