Frequently asked questions
Booker scores C on the API Report Card. Two API surfaces cover Booker: the legacy Booker API for custom booking sites and the Mindbody Public API V6, a REST/JSON API with OAuth 2.0.

Booker has an official API, but teams routinely hit its limits: gated access, partial coverage, or paid tiers. Most end up supplementing it with exports or an unofficial API layer like Supergood.

Per-call metered pricing ($0.002/call after 5K free) with no bulk discounting punishes high-volume integrations like real-time availability polling and inventory sync.

Grades measure one thing: can a customer's engineering team get their own data out programmatically? We check six things (whether a real API exists, how access is gated, data coverage, auth quality, docs and developer experience, and stability) and roll them into a letter grade. Grades get re-verified, and they only move on evidence.
Yes. Supergood maintains an unofficial Booker API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write Booker data. See the Booker integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/booker-api.
