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.

Something finite the business books against: tables, rooms, chairs, seats. Its unit classes and service links are included, and a change to either moves this resource in the change feed and sends resource.updated. A deleted resource leaves the feed; resource.deleted announces it. capacity means different things in the two modes; read the field descriptions before using it.
object
Opaque Talki resource identifier.
The location it is at (GET /v1/locations). Capacity is physical: only services of the same location draw on it. Never null, and it never changes.
What the business calls this resource.
shared — one fungible pool of capacity units (covers, seats, slots). units — a set of discrete sized units, described by unit_classes.
In shared mode, the total units available at one time. In units mode this is the size of the LARGEST SINGLE unit, not a total — a resource with six four-tops reports 4. Use max_party_size for the question you probably mean.
The largest single booking this resource can hold at one time, in its own units, before any service’s rate is applied. Equals capacity in shared mode; in units mode it is derived from the classes and the combining rules, so six combinable four-tops report more than 4. A booking above this is refused with party_too_large.
True when a single booking may join units of DIFFERENT classes (a four-top plus a two-top for six). Per-class combinable still governs whether a class may be joined at all. Always false for a shared resource.
The discrete units this resource is made of. Always empty for a shared resource.
count identical units that each hold size — six four-seat tables, two rooms that sleep four. Units have no individual identity: you can see how many exist, not which are taken.
object
Opaque identifier for this class of units.
What the business calls these units.
How much one unit of this class holds — covers at a table, people in a room, always 1 for a single-occupancy station.
How many identical units of this size exist.
True when several units of this class may be joined to hold one oversized booking (two four-tops pushed together for six).
Which services draw on this resource, and at what rate. Empty means no service currently books against it, which makes it inert rather than unlimited.
A service that draws on this resource, and how much of it one booking takes.
object
Opaque identifier of a service in GET /v1/services.
Units of this resource consumed per booked unit of the service. A booking of quantity q consumes q * rate. Usually 1; a service that occupies two stations at once has 2.
True for a location’s default resource: the shared limit new duration services of that location draw on unless they are given their own or other resources, such as the salon’s chairs. At most one per location.
RFC 3339 UTC.
RFC 3339 UTC. Moves when the resource, any of its unit classes, or any of its service links changes.
