Section titled “Header Parameters”Example
2026-10-01Serve this one request at the given dated contract version instead of the credential’s pin. An unsupported value is refused with 400 unsupported_version, never downgraded.
Unique key for this logical write. Reuse it only when retrying the same method, path, query and body. Required on appointment writes, on creating a service, a resource, a closure, a tag, a caller rule or a document, and on teaching the assistant; optional on every other write. Retained for 24 hours: a retry with the same key gets the first response again, marked Idempotency-Replayed: true, and a refusal that holds until the state changes (a time taken, a list full) is replayed too. A response a retry can change is not kept when the request saved nothing, and the retry runs the request again: a 400 asking for a different request (invalid_parameter, invalid_cursor, export_too_large, unknown_scenario, no_services_requested, stay_too_short, stay_too_long, stay_dates_invalid), a 415, a 409 request_conflict, document_not_ready or check_in_progress, a 412, a 429 and a 5xx.
Example
closure-2026-12-24Request Bodyrequired
Section titled “Request Bodyrequired”A new closure or special opening: all_day: true with start_date and end_date (closures only), or an exact range with start_at and end_at. Sending fields of both forms is refused, and so is a special opening that does not start and end on the same day in the account’s timezone. Without location_id, it applies at every location.
object
closed (the default) for a closure, open for a special opening. A special opening is always an exact range that starts and ends on the same day in the account’s timezone; it adds to that day’s weekly hours.
True to close whole days, given by start_date and end_date. False (the default) for an exact range, given by start_at and end_at. Only a closure can be whole days.
Example
{ "all_day": true, "start_date": "2026-12-24", "end_date": "2026-12-26", "reason": "Christmas holidays"}Responses
Section titled “ Responses ”Successful Response
A dated exception to WorkingHours: a closure (kind: closed), when the business takes no bookings, or a special opening (kind: open), extra hours on one day that are added to that day’s weekly hours. It applies at one location, or at every location when location_id is null. Appointments already inside a closure are not cancelled: look them up with GET /v1/appointments and starts_after/starts_before.
object
Closure identifier.
closed — the business is shut, and no time is offered to callers. open — a special opening: extra hours on one day, offered to callers together with that day’s weekly hours. A closure on the same day still wins over both.
True for whole days, given by start_date and end_date; only a closure can be whole days. False for an exact range, given by start_at and end_at.
Start, RFC 3339 UTC. For whole days this is midnight at the start of start_date in the account’s timezone.
End, exclusive, RFC 3339 UTC. For whole days this is midnight at the end of end_date.
When it was added, RFC 3339 UTC.
