For Agents
Programmatically create database, list databases. Covers 10 operations with basic authentication.
Use for: I need to database, I want to databases, Search for database, Find all database
Not supported: Does not handle payments, crm, or developer tools - use for communications only.
The Upstash Developer API allows you to create and manage Upstash products and resources programmatically. You can automate everything you can do in the console. Authentication uses HTTP Basic Auth with your email and API key. The API exposes 10 endpoints secured with basic authentication.
Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the Upstash Developer 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%2Fupstash.com%2Fupstash" | shStep 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%2Fupstash.com%2Fupstash" | 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 Upstash Developer API.
Create Database

GET STARTED
Patterns agents use Upstash Developer API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Communications Operations
Use the Upstash Developer API to perform communications operations programmatically. The API provides 10 endpoints covering core functionality including create database, list databases, get database.
Call POST /redis/databases to create database
Automated redis Management
Automate redis operations by combining multiple Upstash Developer API endpoints. Agents can list databases and then get database in a single workflow.
Call GET /redis/databases to list databases, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call Upstash Developer 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 basic tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'create database', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the Upstash Developer API by hand means setting up its basic auth, base64-encoding the credential pair on every request, and managing Redis and vector resources through separate endpoints yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import Upstash from the API Directory, store the credential once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
Upstash puts the database id in the URL path (/redis/database/{id}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one database: it can read that database and reset its password if you allow it. You choose the operations it may call, so destructive ones like database deletion are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your Upstash credential 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 Redis database' or 'list vector namespaces', and Jentic returns the matching Upstash operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using Upstash Developer API through Jentic.
What authentication does the Upstash Developer API use?
The Upstash Developer API uses HTTP Basic authentication with username and password. 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 database with the Upstash Developer API?
Yes. Use the POST /redis/databases endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the Upstash Developer 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 database through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'create database'. Jentic returns the matching Upstash Developer API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the Upstash Developer API have?
The Upstash Developer API exposes 10 endpoints covering redis, teams, vector operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the Upstash Developer API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which Upstash operations and credentials the agent may use. Since Upstash puts the database id in the URL path, such as /redis/database/{id}/reset-password, you can pin the agent to a single database and grant only the calls you want, for example reading that database or resetting its password. Destructive operations like DELETE /redis/database/{id} stay off limits unless you explicitly allow them.
