DaySmart Salon API
No API exists for the Salon product; DaySmart documents APIs only for its Appointments and Recreation siblings. Getting data out means a manual retrieval form with a two business day turnaround, granted as a one-time courtesy, or one-table-at-a-time text exports from the desktop app.
Frequently asked questions
DaySmart Salon scores D on the API Report Card. No API exists for the Salon product; DaySmart documents APIs only for its Appointments and Recreation siblings. Getting data out means a manual retrieval form with a two business day turnaround, granted as a one-time courtesy, or one-table-at-a-time text exports from the desktop app.
Without a usable official API, teams fall back on manual exports, file drops, or one-off vendor integrations. The other option is an unofficial API layer like Supergood that automates the authenticated web app directly.

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 DaySmart Salon API and MCP server so AI agents and internal tools can read and write DaySmart Salon data. See the DaySmart Salon integration docs at supergood.ai/docs/daysmart-salon-api.
