[#550] Questions about API access to know if we can use API into our mobile app

Hi Team,

h2. The context
We are developing a mobile app with the need to have a booking platform. We want to integrate natively all the booking process (we want to avoid webview or mobile browser). In this way, we want to use your API. We have read your documentation but we still have important questions before to choose simplybook.me.

h2. Why it’s High priority
We are in a hurry because we planned to start the development this week. So we need to choose the platform really quickly and we need quick answers.

h2. Questions
h3. About the API

  • Is the API documentation really complete? Or are there some routes that are not documented?
  • About the plugins (subscription for example), it seems that there is no documentation, so we don’t know what we can do with them regarding the API. How can we know what we can manage with the plugins?
  • We can delete a client manually in the back-office. But can we do this using the API?
    h3. About the features
    Is there a feature allowing a user to be the sponsor of a new user? For example, a user invites his friend to create an account and both receive a gift.
    h3. About architecture
    Is there a way to link ressources to location?

Hi,

  • All tested and released API methods are documented
  • Not all plugins supported by API. If there is no documentation then it means there is no official API for this plugin
  • There is no method to delete client via API

there is no sposnor feature
resources can be linked to service, not to location (each service may have necessary resources linked)
