Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for analytics only.
Sprout Social API provides access to social media management features including analytics, messaging, publishing, listening, and case management across multiple social networks. The API exposes 20 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Sprout Social API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Sprout Social 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%2Fsproutsocial.com%2Fsproutsocial" | 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%2Fsproutsocial.com%2Fsproutsocial" | 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 Sprout Social API.
Retrieve customer IDs and names accessible to user
List all social profiles with metadata for a customer
Integrate Sprout Social API into automated workflows
Query and filter Sprout Social API records by parameters
Monitor Sprout Social API operational status and events
Use Cases
Patterns agents use Sprout Social API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Analytics Operations
Use the Sprout Social API to perform analytics operations programmatically. The API provides 20 endpoints covering core functionality including retrieve customer ids and names accessible to user, list all social profiles with metadata for a customer, retrieve all tags (active and archived).
Call GET /v1/metadata/client to retrieve customer ids and names accessible to user
Automated Analytics Management
Automate analytics operations by combining multiple Sprout Social API endpoints. Agents can list all social profiles with metadata for a customer and then retrieve all tags (active and archived) in a single workflow.
Call GET /v1/{customerId}/metadata/customer to list all social profiles with metadata for a customer, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Sprout Social 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 bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'retrieve customer ids and names accessible to user', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring Sprout Social by hand means learning its bearer auth against api.sproutsocial.com and threading the customer id into every metadata path yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Sprout Social API from the API Directory, store the bearer token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Sprout Social puts the customer id in the URL path (/v1/{customerId}/metadata/customer/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one customer profile. You choose the operations it may call, and since every endpoint here is a read such as listing tags, groups, or users, the agent only retrieves metadata unless you add more.
Credential isolation
Your Sprout Social bearer token 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 'list the customer profiles I can access' or 'get the tags for this customer', and Jentic returns the matching Sprout Social operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Sprout Social API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Sprout Social API use?
The Sprout Social API uses a Bearer token 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 retrieve customer ids and names accessible to user with the Sprout Social API?
Yes. Use the GET /v1/metadata/client endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Sprout Social 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 retrieve customer ids and names accessible to user through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'retrieve customer ids and names accessible to user'. Jentic returns the matching Sprout Social API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Sprout Social API have?
The Sprout Social API exposes 20 endpoints covering analytics, cases, listening operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Sprout Social API?
Yes. Because Jentic One is self-hosted, you set the rules that decide which Sprout Social operations and credentials your agent may use. Since the customer id sits in the URL path (/v1/{customerId}/metadata/customer/...), a rule can pin the agent to a single customer profile, and you choose exactly which operations it can call. Every endpoint here is read-only, such as listing tags, groups, or users, so the agent only retrieves metadata unless you allow more.
