API & Webhooks
Technical interfaces that allow developers to programmatically interact with scheduling data and receive real-time event notifications.
Definition
APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) allow external applications to create, read, update, and manage scheduling data programmatically. Webhooks are real-time notifications sent to your systems when events occur (new booking, cancellation, etc.). Together, they enable custom integrations, automated workflows, and embedded scheduling in custom applications beyond what standard integrations provide.
Examples of API & Webhooks
API call to create a booking from your custom CRM
Webhook notification when a booking is cancelled
Fetching availability via API to display in a mobile app
Syncing booking data to a custom database
Why API & Webhooks Matters
Standard integrations cover common use cases, but unique business processes require custom connections. APIs and webhooks let developers build exactly what's needed. They're essential for enterprises, custom apps, and advanced automation.
How SchedulingKit Handles API & Webhooks
SchedulingKit provides a RESTful API for booking management, availability queries, and administrative functions. Webhooks notify external systems of booking lifecycle events in real-time. API documentation and SDKs simplify development.

Do I need a developer to use APIs?
APIs are designed for developers. Non-technical users should use Zapier or native integrations. Consider API access when you have specific custom integration needs.
Is there an API rate limit?
Yes, to ensure platform stability. Enterprise plans have higher limits. Contact us for high-volume use cases.
