Create a booking

POST
/v1/scheduling/bookings

Books a slot, or joins a group session. Without a host, a pool chooses fairly among those free. An event type that requires approval answers with a pending_approval booking.

Authorization

bearerAuth
headerAuthorizationBearer <token>

A secret API key from the dashboard: coss_live_… for production environments, coss_test_… for sandbox environments.

Header Parameters

Idempotency-Key?string

Makes retries safe: a repeated request with the same key and body returns the original booking instead of creating another, for 24 hours. A refused request keeps no key. 1-256 characters.

Length1 <= length <= 256
Coss-Version?"2026-10-10"

The API version (a date) to use for this request. Defaults to your organization's version, pinned to the latest one when it first used the API and upgraded from the dashboard. The SDK always sends the version it was built for.

Value in"2026-10-10"
