Hello,
I’m trying to book classes through the API, but I can’t find any documentation on this matter.
It seems that unlike services, the classes do not have a provider assigned with availability, so I understand that the process must be done differently.
Thank you.

to book a class you need to book service and provider because class is actually pair of service and provider linked together.

Hello,
Thank you for your previous response. I understand that to book a class, I need to take into account both the service and the provider. However, I have specific concerns and questions that need addressing.
Difference between classes and regular services: From my observations, regular services operate based on specific time slots according to the provider. However, when creating a class in the backoffice, it doesn’t seem to be linked to any existing provider with a calendar. This causes confusion regarding how to handle class bookings as compared to regular service bookings.
Documentation and practical examples: I’ve gone through the provided link (API documentation | SimplyBook.me Online Scheduling), and I noticed that examples are centered around regular services. To proceed appropriately with integrating classes, I genuinely need a clearer understanding, either through additional documentation or specific examples for classes.
I understand that there might not be documentation available for classes at the moment, but it would be immensely helpful if you could provide a brief guide or insights on which endpoints or functions I should use to book a class on a specific date.
Clarity on this matter is essential for the success of our integration, and I would greatly appreciate your detailed assistance on this matter.
Thank you for your attention, and I look forward to your response.

Hi,
You should book the same way as usual bookings, but passing event id and provider id of class.
You can call getUnitList, getEventList and pass relevant parameter
$handleClasses (1 - classes only, -1 without classes, null - skip classes check)
