Support,

I am trying to get the token using following auth end point but getting error : Invalid type given

https://user-api-v2.simplybook.me/admin/auth

Even tried with end point(.plus domain) but no luck : https://user-api-v2.simplybook.plus/admin/auth

{“code”:400,“message”:“”,“data”:{“company”:[“Invalid type given, value should be float, string, or integer”],“login”:[“Invalid type given, value should be float, string, or integer”],“password”:[“Invalid type given, value should be float, string, or integer”]},“message_data”:}

I am attaching my postman collection as well for your review.

These are credentials which i am using to login to portal - https://altardstate.cluster.simplybook.plus/
Do we need a separate credential to make the Rest API call? if so where we can get new credentials?

Do we have documentation link for cluster api. I don’t have key so will go with credentials, What kind of credentials needed for cluster API call?

We have following scenario. We have 6 companies in our account and we need the upcoming Booking of 4 companying, what is recommended way to get the upcoming bookings?

Another question, I have fetched few appointment objects through the rest api, is thee a way to get/generate hash like you are generating in the email for Example - Altar'd State | Scheduling and Booking Website

Redmine Admin wrote:

you need to call each account separately to get bookings

there is no API to make such link
