RESTful Architecture

At Slotify, our API is meticulously crafted around the REST architecture. This design ensures that developers can seamlessly integrate our scheduling functionalities into their applications while adhering to industry-standard HTTP conventions.

Expect intuitive interactions with our API, where familiar HTTP verbs such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE are employed across all methods without exception. These verbs empower developers to perform a wide range of operations with ease.

When interacting with our API, anticipate JSON responses for all requests, whether they're successful or encounter errors. This uniformity ensures consistency in data format, simplifying the integration process and enhancing developer experience.

For Slotify, all API calls should be directed to https://api.slotify.ca/v1, with an explicit versioning denoted as v1. This ensures compatibility and stability within your integrations.

To guarantee secure communication, all calls to our API are enforced over TLS 1.2. Any attempts to connect via non-secure channels will be redirected to the secure https URI to maintain data integrity and security.

Slotify's API is designed to accommodate a wide range of clients, including browser-based applications (e.g., single-page applications or SPAs) and server-side applications. Our API fully supports cross-origin resource sharing (CORS), facilitating seamless communication between different domains and ensuring smooth integration with your applications.

Supported Timezones and Date Format

At Slotify, we understand the importance of accurate time management across different regions and timezones. Our API supports a comprehensive list of timezones based on the timezone database 2021.5, ensuring that you can seamlessly schedule appointments across the globe without worrying about timezone discrepancies.

Supported Timezones Examples:

  1. Europe/Copenhagen
  2. America/Los_Angeles
  3. Asia/Tokyo

Slotify follows the ISO 8601 standard for date and time representation, providing a universally accepted format for expressing dates and times. This standard ensures consistency and interoperability across various systems and programming languages.

Date Format Example (ISO 8601):

  1. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZ (e.g., 2024-04-30T14:30:00Z)
  2. YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS±00:00 (e.g., 2024-04-30T14:30:00+00:00)

By utilizing the timezone offset in ISO 8601 format, you can specify the exact time relative to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) while ensuring accurate representation of date and time across different timezones.
