Cisco Webex provides a REST API for communication and collaboration, including managing rooms, messages, people, teams, memberships, webhooks, and meetings. Authentication uses OAuth 2.0 Bearer tokens or personal access tokens. Note: The Webex developer portal (developer.webex.com) uses JS rendering and was not fully scrapable; this spec covers the documented core API resources. The API exposes 31 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Connect the Cisco Webex REST API to your agent
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Cisco Webex REST 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%2Fwebex.com%2Fwebex" | 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%2Fwebex.com%2Fwebex" | 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.

Use Cases
Patterns agents use Cisco Webex REST API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Productivity Operations
Use the Cisco Webex REST API to perform productivity operations programmatically. The API provides 31 endpoints covering core functionality including create a room, list rooms, get room details.
Call POST /rooms to create a room
Automated Rooms Management
Automate rooms operations by combining multiple Cisco Webex REST API endpoints. Agents can list rooms and then get room details in a single workflow.
Call GET /rooms to list rooms, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Cisco Webex REST 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 'create a room', 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 Cisco Webex REST API by hand means learning its bearer auth, pointing at webexapis.com, and handling responses yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import the Cisco Webex REST API from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Webex puts the room id in the URL path (/rooms/{roomId}), so a rule can pin your agent to one room and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like deleting a room are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Webex 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 'create a room' or 'post a message', and Jentic returns the matching Cisco Webex operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.

FAQs
Specific to using Cisco Webex REST API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Cisco Webex REST API use?
The Cisco Webex REST 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 create a room with the Cisco Webex REST API?
Yes. Use the POST /rooms endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Cisco Webex REST 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 create a room through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create a room'. Jentic returns the matching Cisco Webex REST API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Cisco Webex REST API have?
The Cisco Webex REST API exposes 31 endpoints covering rooms, messages, people operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Cisco Webex REST API?
Yes. Jentic One is self-hosted by you, so your own rules decide which Cisco Webex operations and credentials the agent may use. Because Webex puts the room id in the URL path, such as /rooms/{roomId}, you can pin the agent to a single room and block everything else. You also pick the operations it may call, so a destructive one like DELETE /rooms is left out unless you explicitly add it.
