List tables (API key)
The hospitality engine's tables. Engine-guarded, ordered by id: see GET /api/v1/services for why.
areaId is returned but there is no /api/v1/areas or /api/v1/levels, and that is a recorded gap rather than an oversight: book_areas/book_levels have no scope in the vocabulary (dashboard-only /api/areas and /api/levels exist as of migration 0030, but neither is exposed to API keys), and inventing areas:read/levels:read would change what every future key can be granted. The id is enough to group tables by room.
Authorization
bearerApiKey tables:readThe scheme for programmatic callers: partner integrations, a customer's own scripts, the planned
skill and MCP server. Accepted by the /api/v1/* operations and by nothing else; the rest of this
document is session-cookie only. Every :read scope below has a GET /api/v1/<resource> behind it, and
a static check fails the build if a scope is added without one. Full detail lives in docs/api-keys.md; the load-bearing
parts are:
- Transport.
Authorization: Bearer sk_live_…only. No query parameter, no custom header, no cookie fallback: a credential in a URL ends up in access logs, referrers and browser history. - A key is a program with scopes, not a human with a role. It carries no
admin/staffrole at all; scopes are the entire authorization model, and an admin issuing a key is deliberately delegating their own authority. - Scopes are
resource:action, where resource is exactly the/api/<resource>folder name and action isreadorwrite.writedoes NOT implyread: they are compared by exact string. - The engine boundary is enforced twice. Engine scopes are filtered at issuance against the org's
own
business_type(an appointments org cannot be grantedreservations:*), and again at use time by the gate's vertical argument.wrong_verticalis its own 403 code. - There is no scope for key management. A key can never mint, list or revoke another key, so a
leaked key cannot be used to establish persistence.
organizationis read-only for the same reason migration 0022 exists. - Errors carry a machine-readable
codealongsideerror:missing_authorization,invalid_key,key_revoked,key_expired,organization_inactive(all 401);insufficient_scope,wrong_vertical,plan_required(403);rate_limited(429). Match oncode, never on the sentence. Note this is a RICHER error body than the{error}every session-authenticated route in this document returns. - Rate limiting is per key, a fixed 60-second window defaulting to 120 requests/minute, with
Retry-AfterandX-RateLimit-*headers on a 429. Session-authenticated routes have no rate limiting in application code, deliberately: the rest of the app is covered at the edge by a Vercel WAF rate-limit rule, which is not billed for what it blocks and never reaches a function. Seedocs/api-keys.md. - One envelope, one paging scheme. Every list answers
{ data: [...], nextCursor }; the singleton answers{ data: {...} }.nextCursoris keyset (seek) paging, opaque, and null exactly when there are no more rows. Every field is camelCase, unlike the database columns underneath. /api/v1/is a real version segment, not decoration. There is nov2yet. When one ships,v1keeps answering unchanged for a notice window of at least 6 months, and everyv1response carriesDeprecationandSunsetheaders (RFC 9745, RFC 8594) for that whole window. Only a security fix can shorten it. Seedocs/api-keys.md.

Scope: tables:read
Query Parameters
Clamped, never rejected: values below 1 or unparseable fall back to 50, values above 200 become 200. A ?limit=1e9 from a program is far more likely to be a client bug than an attack, and answering 200 rows beats answering an error it retries in a loop.
1 <= value <= 20050The nextCursor from the previous response, passed back unchanged. Omit it for the first page. Opaque: it is base64url of an internal position and the encoding is not part of the contract; treat it as a token, do not construct one. A cursor this API did not issue is a 400 invalid_cursor rather than a silently-ignored parameter, because silently restarting at page one is how a paging loop becomes an infinite one.
The scheme is keyset (seek) paging on (order column, id), not OFFSET. OFFSET is wrong under concurrent writes: a booking created between page 1 and page 2 shifts every later row back by one, and the caller silently never sees whichever row slid across the boundary. Filters and limit may change between pages; the cursor only says where you got to.

The hospitality engine's table reservations. The mirror of `GET /api/v1/appointments` (same envelope, same paging, same filters, different table), and deliberately **not** the same endpoint with a flag. The two engines share plumbing and never booking logic (migration 0011), and a single `/bookings` endpoint would be the first place that line got crossed. Engine-guarded: an appointments organization's key is refused with `wrong_vertical` before scope is even checked. Ordered newest first; use `from` and `to` for a service, a day or a week. `holdExpiresAt` IS exposed, unlike the other withheld columns: a `hold` row whose hold has expired is not a booking, and a program reading reservations has to be able to tell. **Three clocks in one object, and they are not interchangeable.** `startsAt` and `endsAt` are the venue's wall clock wearing a `+00` suffix; `holdExpiresAt` and `createdAt` are true UTC instants. All four serialise identically, so nothing in the payload distinguishes them and a caller that parses them alike is wrong about some of them by the venue's entire UTC offset. The sharpest edge is comparing `holdExpiresAt` against `startsAt`, or evaluating it in venue-local terms: it is the one field here whose whole purpose is a comparison against the current real instant. `from` and `to` filter on the same wall clock `startsAt` does. Resolve the venue's zone from `timezone` on `GET /api/v1/organization`, which needs the separate `organization:read` scope. See the timestamps section of `docs/api-keys.md`. Three columns are withheld: `manage_token` (the entire credential for the guest self-service link, handing it to a program hands over the ability to act as the guest), `internal_note` (the venue's private note, excluded for the same reason `book_customers.notes` is), and `stripe_payment_intent_id` (an identifier in somebody else's system).
List service periods (API key) GET
The hospitality engine's service periods: which days a venue serves, between which times, on what turn. Engine-guarded, ordered by `id`: see `GET /api/v1/services` for why. This is the endpoint that makes reservation availability **explicable** rather than magic. No active period for a weekday means an empty grid that day, and a program told "no availability" with no way to see why will simply keep asking. `startTime`, `endTime` and `lastSeating` are wall-clock `HH:MM:SS` in the organization's own `timezone` (on `GET /api/v1/organization`), not instants. A service period is a rule about clock time, not a moment, so converting them here would be lossy. Group by `dayOfWeek` for a week grid.
