SCORECARD

ExistenceGOODA REST and JSON Public API is documented at alpha.docs.booksy.net, though it carries an alpha label.
AccessPOORPartner-gated: unauthenticated visitors get 401s and onboarding runs through Booksy outreach, not self-serve signup.
CoveragePOORTypical operators have no programmatic path to their data; client lists leave via emailed CSV and third parties scrape listings.
AuthGOODOAuth2 with JWT and RSA key pairs, roughly 5 minute access tokens and 3 day refresh tokens; no negative auth findings.
Docs & DXGOODPublic docs spell out the OAuth2/JWT flow, RSA key pairs, and token lifetimes.
StabilityMIXEDAlpha status means the contract can change under you; higher rate limits are a 'contact us' negotiation.
Supergood: Booksy has an API, but using it means gates, contracts, or workarounds. Ours doesn't: stable endpoints, normalized JSON, managed auth.
