Hi I am starting to use your api as part of a product evaluation. Ideally we would like to use the REST API and have the following questions:

  • are all fetaures available on REST, specifically maintaining the special day availability schedule (setWorkingDayInfo)
  • the authentication suggests providing a company, login and password. Inside the web app we are given an api key and a secret api key. I also have a username and password to login. What should be used to login.

Also, we are using python and if you have any sample code that would be helpful. As we are trying to evaluate the product a quick response would be helpful which is why we have set it to high (we are obviously evaluating other products too)

Thanks

hi, we are working on REST API and most of the features will be available there in a few months. For now you can use JSON RPC API.

You can use API with any programming language you like. We don’t have examples on python yet.

company login is first part of your booking page address e.g. loginname.simplybook.me - then login is loginname
