Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Sportmonks Football API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sportmonks Football 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%2Fsportmonks.com%2Fsportmonks" | 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%2Fsportmonks.com%2Fsportmonks" | 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?
What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Sportmonks Football API by hand means provisioning its API key, attaching it to every request, and pointing calls at the api.sportmonks.com/v3/football host yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Sportmonks Football API from the API Directory, store the API key once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Sportmonks puts the fixture and league ids in the URL path (/fixtures/{id}, /leagues/{id}), so a rule can pin your agent to reading one fixture or league. The endpoints here are all reads, so you choose which livescore and lookup operations it may call and nothing writes back.
Credential isolation
Your Sportmonks 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 'get inplay livescores' or 'look up a fixture', and Jentic returns the matching Sportmonks Football API operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Sportmonks Football API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Sportmonks Football API use?
The Sportmonks Football API uses an API key passed in the `Authorization` header. 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 get inplay livescores with the Sportmonks Football API?
Yes. Use the GET /livescores/inplay endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Sportmonks Football 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 get inplay livescores through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'get inplay livescores'. Jentic returns the matching Sportmonks Football API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Sportmonks Football API have?
The Sportmonks Football API exposes 24 endpoints covering coaches, fixtures, leagues operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Sportmonks Football API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Sportmonks operations and credentials the agent may use. Every endpoint here is read-only, so you can permit just the livescore and lookup calls it needs, such as GET /livescores/inplay or GET /leagues, and nothing can write data back. Since Sportmonks carries fixture and league ids in the URL path, like /fixtures/{id} and /leagues/{id}, you can even pin the agent to reading a single fixture or league.
