For Agents
Programmatically readdevicedetails, readstrategydetails. Covers 55 operations with basic authentication.
Use for: I need to readdevicedetails, I want to readstrategydetails, Search for readanaloginputs, Find all readanaloginputeu
Not supported: Does not handle communications, crm, or developer tools - use for payments only.
Revised: 7/20/2016 Overview This API provides secure access to a SNAP-PAC-R or -S series controller's variable and I/O tags. Confidentiality for API transactions is provided by HTTPS. Authentication uses HTTP Basic Authentication with an API key. An API key ID is submitted in the Basic Authentication userid field and API key value in the password field. **For more information visit:** [developer.o. The API exposes 55 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the SNAP PAC REST API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the SNAP PAC REST 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://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Frestpac.groov.com%2Frestpac-groov" | sh2
Step 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Frestpac.groov.com%2Frestpac-groov" | 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.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use SNAP PAC REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Payments Operations
Use the SNAP PAC REST API to perform payments operations programmatically. The API provides 55 endpoints covering core functionality including readdevicedetails, readstrategydetails, readanaloginputs.
Call GET /device to readdevicedetails
Automated all Management
Automate all operations by combining multiple SNAP PAC REST API endpoints. Agents can readstrategydetails and then readanaloginputs in a single workflow.
Call GET /device/strategy to readstrategydetails, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call SNAP PAC REST 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 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'readdevicedetails', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the SNAP PAC REST API by hand means setting up its basic auth, targeting the controller's restpac.groov.com/api/v1 host, and mapping device strategy and I/O calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import SNAP PAC REST API from the API Directory, store the credentials once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
SNAP PAC REST API puts the I/O point name in the URL path (/device/strategy/ios/analogOutputs/{ioName}/eu), so a rule can pin your agent to one I/O point: it can read that point's engineering-units value and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so writes to an output point are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your SNAP PAC REST API 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 'read device details' or 'read an analog input value', and Jentic returns the matching SNAP PAC REST API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using SNAP PAC REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the SNAP PAC REST API use?
The SNAP PAC REST API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 readdevicedetails with the SNAP PAC REST API?
Yes. Use the GET /device endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the SNAP PAC REST 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 readdevicedetails through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'readdevicedetails'. Jentic returns the matching SNAP PAC REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the SNAP PAC REST API have?
The SNAP PAC REST API exposes 55 endpoints covering all, device, strategy operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the SNAP PAC REST API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, your own rules decide which SNAP PAC REST API operations and credentials the agent may use. Since the API puts the I/O point name in the URL path, such as /device/strategy/ios/analogOutputs/{ioName}/eu, you can pin the agent to a single point so it reads that point's engineering-units value and nothing else. You also choose the operations it may call, so writes to an output point are excluded unless you explicitly add them.
