Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Untappd API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Untappd 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%2Funtappd.com%2Funtappd" | 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%2Funtappd.com%2Funtappd" | 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 Untappd API.
Recent friend activity
Get user checkins
Integrate Untappd API into automated workflows
Query and filter Untappd API records by parameters
Monitor Untappd API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Untappd API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Social Media Operations
Use the Untappd API to perform social media operations programmatically. The API provides 29 endpoints covering core functionality including recent friend activity, get user checkins, get beer activity.
Call GET /checkin/recent to recent friend activity
Automated Beer Management
Automate beer operations by combining multiple Untappd API endpoints. Agents can get user checkins and then get beer activity in a single workflow.
Call GET /user/checkins/{username} to get user checkins, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Untappd 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, oauth2 tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'recent friend activity', 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 Untappd API by hand means passing a client_id query credential or OAuth 2.0 token on every call, matching each checkin and user operation to its request shape, and handling responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Untappd API from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The Untappd API exposes read operations over checkins, users, and venues, so scope your agent to the ones it needs, such as reading recent checkins or a user's badges. You choose the operations it may call, so it is limited to the queries you enable and nothing more.
Credential isolation
Your Untappd client credential and OAuth 2.0 token 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 'get recent friend checkins' or 'look up a user's badges', and Jentic returns the matching Untappd operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Untappd API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Untappd API use?
The Untappd API uses apiKey, oauth2 authentication. 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 recent friend activity with the Untappd API?
Yes. Use the GET /checkin/recent endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Untappd 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 recent friend activity through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'recent friend activity'. Jentic returns the matching Untappd API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Untappd API have?
The Untappd API exposes 29 endpoints covering beer, brewery, checkin operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Untappd API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted by you, your own rules decide which Untappd operations and credentials your agent may use. The Untappd API is read-only over checkins, users, breweries, and venues, so you can enable just the calls the agent needs, such as GET /checkin/recent for recent friend activity or GET /user/badges/{username} for a user's badges, while withholding the rest. The agent is limited to the queries you turn on and can call nothing more.
