AICT for AI Agents — Programmatic Access Guide

Programmatic REST API for 330+ AI tools, multi-step agent workflows, and account utilities. Built for AI agents, automation engineers, and developers.

What AICT is

AI Central Tools is a multi-tenant platform exposing 330+ specialized AI tools (blog post generators, SEO optimizers, image generators, business analyzers, document summarizers, code helpers, and more) plus 10+ agent workflows that chain tools together (e.g. Content Creator: blog post → image → social posts → newsletter, all from a single topic). Free tier offers 5 uses/day with no signup. Pro ($19/month) unlocks unlimited generations and the public API documented below.

Available endpoints

Base URL: https://aicentraltools.com/wp-json/aict/v1

GET /public/whoami

Identify the API key holder. No paid tier required (works on any valid key).

POST /public/tools/{slug}/run

Execute a single AI tool. Pro tier required. {slug} is the kebab-case tool identifier (see /llms.txt or /tools/ for the full list).

POST /workflows/run

Kick off a multi-step agent workflow. Returns a run_id to poll.

GET /workflows/run/{run_id}/status

Poll workflow progress. Returns per-step status + output.

GET /health/chatbot

Public chatbot health probe (no auth).

Authentication

All authenticated endpoints require an X-AICT-API-Key header. Generate a key at https://aicentraltools.com/account/api-keys/. Keys have the format aict_ + 40 random characters. Store keys securely (server-side only) — keys are stored as SHA-256 hashes on our side and cannot be recovered if lost; you must regenerate.

Pro tier required for tool + workflow execution. The /public/whoami endpoint accepts any valid key (free or paid) so you can confirm a key works before upgrading. Tool runs return HTTP 402 with upgrade_url if the holder is not on Pro/Agency.

Sample requests

Identify your key

curl -H "X-AICT-API-Key: $AICT_API_KEY" https://aicentraltools.com/wp-json/aict/v1/public/whoami

Run a tool (blog-post-generator)

curl -X POST -H "X-AICT-API-Key: $AICT_API_KEY" -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"input": "Write a 200-word blog post about meditation."}' \
  https://aicentraltools.com/wp-json/aict/v1/public/tools/blog-post-generator/run

Run a workflow (content-creator)

  https://aicentraltools.com/wp-json/aict/v1/workflows/run

Schema & interactive docs

For humans: interactive Swagger UI at https://aicentraltools.com/api/docs/ — try every endpoint live, copy code samples in 5 languages.

For AI agents: machine-readable OpenAPI 3.1 spec at https://aicentraltools.com/wp-json/aict/v1/openapi.json (also available as YAML).

For Postman / Insomnia: import-ready collection at /wp-json/aict/v1/openapi/postman.

Use the OpenAPI spec with Swagger Editor, openapi-generator, or LLM agents that consume OpenAPI directly (Claude function-calling, GPT Actions, etc.).

Webhook integration

Long-running tool calls and workflow runs can deliver completion notifications via webhook. Configure a webhook URL at https://aicentraltools.com/account/api-keys/ (per key). Payload shape:

{
  "event": "tool.completed" | "workflow.completed" | "workflow.failed",
  "run_id": "uuid",
  "tool": "blog-post-generator",
  "duration_ms": 4220,
  "output_excerpt": "first 280 chars...",
  "delivered_at": "2026-05-04T14:00:00Z",
  "signature": "sha256=hex"   // HMAC-SHA256 of the raw body using your webhook secret
}

Verify the signature header against the raw POST body using the shared secret shown when you registered the webhook.
