Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the ZipRecruiter Job Search API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the ZipRecruiter Job Search 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%2Fziprecruiter.com%2Fziprecruiter" | 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%2Fziprecruiter.com%2Fziprecruiter" | 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.

AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call ZipRecruiter Job Search 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 'search for jobs', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

Why Jentic?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring ZipRecruiter by hand means passing your api_key on the query string and mapping its job-search response fields yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import ZipRecruiter from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
The ZipRecruiter Job Search API exposes a single read-only job search operation, so scoping is operations-only: limit the agent to the job search operation it needs. You choose the operations it may call, so nothing beyond job search runs unless you add it.
Credential isolation
Your ZipRecruiter API key is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'search for jobs', and Jentic returns the matching ZipRecruiter operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using ZipRecruiter Job Search API through Jentic.
What authentication does the ZipRecruiter Job Search API use?
The ZipRecruiter Job Search API uses an API key passed in the `api_key` query. 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 search for jobs with the ZipRecruiter Job Search API?
Yes. Use the GET /jobs/v1 endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the ZipRecruiter Job Search 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 search for jobs through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'search for jobs'. Jentic returns the matching ZipRecruiter Job Search API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the ZipRecruiter Job Search API have?
The ZipRecruiter Job Search API exposes 1 endpoints covering jobs operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the ZipRecruiter Job Search API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which operations and credentials the agent may use. The ZipRecruiter Job Search API exposes a single read-only job search operation (GET /jobs/v1), so you can scope the agent to just that operation and nothing else runs unless you add it. Your ZipRecruiter API key stays with your instance and is injected at execution time, so the agent never sees the raw secret.
