How can I get the client_id of an already existing client using the REST API methods so that I can use it in my Manage Booking REST API call?

Another issue is how can I create a client with my own id (not auto-generated system-id) using the REST API Create client method?

Hi! You can use API documentation | SimplyBook.me Online Scheduling to search clients and get their ids.
It is not possible to make client with predefined ID.

The above-mentioned link would give me a list of clients but I want to get the client_id of a particular client. If I get a list of clients then in that I have to search for that particular client which would not be efficient if the list is very large. So is there any other method get the client_id.

There is @filter[search]@ you can pass email for example to search client by email.

The above two issues are clear.

I want to ask another issue like let us assume that we want to book sessions with the providers for three different duration like 15min, 30min, and 45 min then how to change the duration according to user choice through REST API call means how can we change the start time and end time through REST API methods ?

I have done this it sets the time according to my choice but there is an error or bug when a time slot of say 12:00 to 13:00 is available and I book from 12:00 to 12:15 then the booking is successful but when I want to book another time slot between 12:30 to 13:00 it is showing that time slot is not available so basically my first request is blocking the whole time slot (12:00 to 13:00) though the booking shown is from 12:00 to 12:15. How can I remove this error?

Please check your calendar if there is something else that blocks this time.

I have checked my calendar no event is blocking that but in my services setting, the duration of services set is 1 hr, and in the configuration setting the timeframe set is 60 minutes. Are these settings blocking the time?

Issue - How can I get booking details of a particular provider or client ??
