Hi sir,
I have an issue while making a booking request, here is my code
async function testMethod(req,res) {
try {
const apiUrl = “https://user-api.simplybook.me/admin/”;
const eventId = 36;
const unitId = 2;
const date = ‘2024-05-16’;
const time = ‘10:00:00’;
const clientData = {
‘name’: ‘sham ch’,
‘email’: ‘shamich625@gmail.com’,
‘phone’: ‘+13152108338’
};
const token = await simplybookService.getToken();
const headers = {
‘Content-Type’: ‘application/json’,
‘X-Company-Login’: companyLogin,
‘X-User-Token’: token
};

    const requestBody = {
        jsonrpc: '2.0',
        method: 'book',
        params: {
            eventId: eventId,
            unitId: unitId,
            date: date,
            time: time,
            clientData: clientData
        },
        id: '12'
    };


    const response = await axios.post(apiUrl, requestBody, { headers });

    // const bookingResult = await bookingApiResponse.json();
    const bookingResult = response.data;
    if(bookingResult.error){
        res.json({success:false,error:bookingResult.error})

    }else{
        res.json({success:true,data:bookingResult.data})

    }
} catch (error) {
    res.json({message:error})
}

}
response of this request is here:
{
“success”: false,
“error”: {
“code”: -32053,
“message”: “Selected date start is not available”,
“data”:
}
}
I checked available time on simplybook but everything is fine

Hi,
please use unnamed parameters:

params: [eventId, unitId, date, time, clientData],

Please double check that date and time is available for selected service/provider.

PLease have a look API documentation | SimplyBook.me Online Scheduling
And as far as i see you are using admin API and function book has different signature:

book ($eventId, $unitId, $clientId, $startDate, $startTime, $endDate, $endTime, $clientTimeOffset, $additional, $count, $batchId, $recurringData)

I checked date and time for service/provider. its available,
when I wasn’t using admin API it was giving me access denied so that’s why I choose this, using your suggested method which parameters are required because I don’t have batchId and recurringData

If you are using admin API you have to pass parameters for admin API. Otherwise it will not work.
batchId and recurringData are not obliogatory fields.

Last Question for clarification
which API is best for booking admin API or the other one?
i tried this one also: API documentation | SimplyBook.me Online Scheduling
got 400 response code

It depends on your requirements.
Admin API (and REST API) is the same as you book from admin side (it has less limits).
Public API is the same as you book from public site.

i pass the parameter like this book ($eventId, $unitId, $clientId, $startDate, $startTime, $endDate, $endTime, $clientTimeOffset, $additional, $count, $batchId, $recurringData)

i got error: Gender - ‘’ was not found in the haystack,Value is required and can’t be empty

You have intake forms Gender, that is required, you have to pass it in $additional

eatsham salim wrote:

additional:{Gender:“male”}
still same error

Dmytro Bondarev wrote:

Please have a look example above and read documentation.
You should get list of intake forms, and pass it in format {fieldHash: fieldValue}

eatsham salim wrote:

this is my intake form:
{
“id”: 4,
“name”: “623ab80dded6c4ee4f79a9a9636e2097”,
“field_name”: “Gender”,
“field_type”: “select”,
“field_options”: [
“Male”,
“Female”,
“Prefer not to say”
],
“default_value”: “”,
“optional”: false,
“is_visible”: true,
“show_for_all_services”: false
}
can you please tell me how can I pass it in an additional object

}
