For Agents
Manage IoT SIM cards, monitor connectivity status, handle data quotas, and send SMS to devices. Supports bulk SIM operations and real-time diagnostics across 25 endpoints.
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the 1NCE 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.
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | sh# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jentic/jentic-one/main/tools/install.sh | 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.
What an agent can do with 1NCE API API.
Activate, deactivate, and transfer IoT SIM cards across customer accounts
Monitor real-time connectivity status and location for individual SIMs
Top up data volume quotas for single SIMs or in bulk
Send and retrieve SMS messages to and from IoT devices
GET STARTED
Use for: I need to check the connectivity status of my IoT SIM cards, I want to activate a batch of new SIM cards, Top up the data quota for a specific SIM by ICCID, List all SIMs that have exceeded their data allowance
Not supported: Does not handle device firmware updates, edge computing, or data analytics dashboards — use for SIM lifecycle management and connectivity monitoring only.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI document for 1NCE API, keeping it validated and agent-ready.
Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for 1NCE API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. The 1NCE API provides programmatic management of IoT SIM cards, connectivity, and data quotas for large-scale IoT deployments. It covers SIM lifecycle operations including activation, deactivation, top-ups, SMS handling, and real-time connectivity diagnostics across 25 endpoints. The API also supports order management, product catalog access, and customer support ticket creation for 1NCE's flat-rate IoT connectivity platform.
Track daily data usage and quota consumption per SIM
Place and manage orders for new SIM cards and products
Create and track customer support service requests
Patterns agents use 1NCE API API for, with concrete tasks.
★ IoT Fleet Connectivity Monitoring
Monitor the connectivity status, network events, and location of IoT SIM cards across a deployed device fleet. The 1NCE API returns real-time connectivity information per ICCID, including operator attachment, session state, and last-seen location. Operations teams managing hundreds or thousands of IoT devices use this to detect offline units and diagnose network issues without logging into the 1NCE portal individually.
Retrieve connectivity_info for SIM with ICCID 8949000000000001 and report whether it is currently attached to the network
Automated Data Quota Top-Up
Automatically top up data volume for IoT SIMs approaching their quota limit. The 1NCE API supports both individual SIM top-ups via ICCID and bulk top-up operations for multiple SIMs simultaneously. Businesses running metered IoT services configure auto-top-up rules or trigger top-ups programmatically when usage thresholds are crossed, preventing device disconnection.
Check the data quota for SIM 8949000000000001 via /v1/sims/{iccid}/quota/data and trigger a top-up if remaining volume is below 10MB
Device SMS Communication
Send configuration commands or receive status messages from IoT devices via SMS through the 1NCE platform. The API allows sending SMS to any managed SIM by ICCID and retrieving message history including delivery status. This is used for remote device configuration, firmware trigger messages, and receiving sensor alerts from devices that communicate via SMS rather than IP data.
Send an SMS with body 'REBOOT' to SIM 8949000000000001 and confirm delivery status
AI Agent IoT Fleet Management via Jentic
AI agents use the 1NCE API through Jentic to automate IoT fleet management tasks — checking device connectivity, topping up quotas, and sending commands — without handling OAuth2 credentials directly. Jentic's intent search maps natural-language queries like 'check SIM status' to the correct endpoint and parameter schema, enabling agents to manage IoT infrastructure programmatically.
Search Jentic for '1NCE SIM connectivity status', load the operation schema, and execute a GET request to retrieve status for ICCID 8949000000000001
25 endpoints — jentic publishes the only available openapi specification for 1nce api, keeping it validated and agent-ready.

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.
Credential isolation
1NCE OAuth2 tokens are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped access tokens — raw client secrets never enter the agent's context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search by intent (e.g., 'check SIM connectivity status') and Jentic returns matching 1NCE operations with their input schemas, including ICCID parameters and expected response formats.
Time to first call
Direct 1NCE integration: 1-2 days for OAuth2 setup, SIM identifier mapping, and error handling. Through Jentic: under 30 minutes — search, load schema, execute.

Specific to using 1NCE API API through Jentic.
Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for 1NCE API?
1NCE does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call 1NCE API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.
What authentication does the 1NCE API use?
The 1NCE API uses OAuth2 authentication. Through Jentic, your OAuth2 client credentials are stored encrypted in the vault and token refresh is handled automatically — agents never see raw client secrets or manage token expiry.
Can I send SMS to IoT devices with the 1NCE API?
Yes. POST to /v1/sims/{iccid}/sms with a message body to send SMS to any managed SIM. You can also retrieve sent and received messages via GET on the same path and check delivery status for individual messages at /v1/sims/{iccid}/sms/{id}.
What are the rate limits for the 1NCE API?
The OpenAPI spec does not specify explicit rate limits. 1NCE applies per-account throttling based on your subscription tier. Bulk SIM operations (activation, top-up) are handled via batch endpoints rather than individual calls to stay within limits.
How do I check a SIM card's data usage through Jentic?
Install with pip install jentic, then search for 'get SIM daily usage'. Jentic returns the GET /v1/sims/{iccid}/usage operation with its parameter schema. Execute with the target ICCID to receive daily usage breakdown.
Can I perform bulk SIM operations with the 1NCE API?
Yes. POST to /v1/sims accepts an array of SIM identifiers for bulk activate, deactivate, label changes, and IMEI lock operations. The /v1/sims/topup endpoint handles bulk data top-ups, and /v1/sims/autoTopup configures automatic top-up rules for multiple SIMs.
How do I monitor whether an IoT device is connected?
GET /v1/sims/{iccid}/connectivity_info returns real-time network attachment status, operator information, and last-known location for a SIM. For historical diagnostics, GET /v1/sims/{iccid}/events provides a timeline of network events including attach, detach, and data session starts.
/v1/sims/{iccid}/sms
Send an SMS to a SIM card
/v1/sims/{iccid}/usage
Get daily data usage for a SIM
/v1/orders
Place a new SIM card order
