Jentic publishes the only available OpenAPI specification for Acuity Scheduling API, keeping it validated and agent-ready. Acuity Scheduling is an appointment-booking platform whose API exposes appointments, appointment types, availability, calendars, clients, blocks, forms, and orders. The spec covers 33 operations under 12 tags and is authenticated via HTTP basic auth using a User ID and API key. Endpoints under /appointments support cancel, reschedule, and payment look-up alongside standard listing and creation.

Use Cases

Patterns agents use Acuity Scheduling API API for, with concrete tasks.

★ AI-driven appointment booking

Service businesses (clinics, coaches, salons) want chat or voice agents to book appointments without a human dispatcher. An agent calls /availability/dates and /availability/times for the chosen appointment type, picks a slot, and POSTs to /appointments with client details. Acuity handles the calendar collision checks and confirmation email automatically.

Get available times for appointment type 123 on 2026-06-12 from /availability/times, then POST to /appointments with chosen time and client details

Cancellation and reschedule self-service

Customers cancel or reschedule via email, SMS, or chat. An agent looks up the appointment by id, calls /appointments/{id}/cancel or /appointments/{id}/reschedule with a new datetime, and confirms the change to the customer. This avoids the manual reschedule loop that typically eats receptionist time.

Call POST /appointments/456/reschedule with the new datetime and notify the client via the existing channel

Calendar block-off automation

Owners block staff calendars when team members are off, training, or in internal meetings. An agent can POST to /blocks with the calendar id and time range to prevent new bookings during that window, and remove the block when the period ends. This avoids double-booking when staff schedules change last minute.

POST a block to /blocks for calendar 7 covering 2026-06-15 14:00-18:00 with reason 'team training'

AI agent integration

Service businesses building agent assistants expose Acuity through Jentic alongside payment and SMS APIs. Through Jentic, basic auth credentials live in the vault, and the agent searches by intent — e.g. 'book an Acuity appointment' — without juggling raw user IDs and API keys.

Search Jentic for 'book an Acuity appointment', load the schema, and execute it with appointment_type, datetime, and client info

Why though Jentic?

Three things that make agents converge on Jentic-routed access.

Credential isolation

Acuity basic auth User ID and API key pairs are stored encrypted in the Jentic vault. Agents receive scoped execution handles, so neither the User ID nor the API key appears in prompts or logs.

Intent-based discovery

Agents search Jentic by intent, e.g. 'book an Acuity appointment' or 'check availability', and Jentic returns the matching operation with its input schema.

Time to first call

Direct Acuity integration: 1-2 days for auth, availability handling, and timezone logic. Through Jentic: under 1 hour.

Related APIs

Alternative

Calendly API

Round-robin scheduling product popular with sales and recruiting teams.

Choose Calendly when the use case is sales-cycle scheduling rather than service appointments with payments.

Complementary

Google Calendar API

Sync Acuity bookings into staff Google Calendars or read free/busy from Google.

Use Google Calendar when staff already manage availability there and Acuity is the customer-facing booking layer.

Complementary

Stripe API

Capture deposits or full payment for Acuity appointments via Stripe.

Use Stripe when you need refundable deposits, subscriptions for memberships, or payment flows beyond what Acuity orders provide.

FAQs

Specific to using Acuity Scheduling API API through Jentic.

Why is there no official OpenAPI spec for Acuity Scheduling API?

Acuity Scheduling does not publish an OpenAPI specification. Jentic generates and maintains this spec so that AI agents and developers can call Acuity Scheduling API via structured tooling. It is validated against the live API and kept up to date. Get started at https://app.jentic.com/sign-up.

What authentication does the Acuity Scheduling API use?

Acuity uses HTTP basic auth with a User ID as username and an API key as password, both available in the Acuity Integrations settings. Through Jentic, the credential pair is stored encrypted in the Jentic vault and never appears in the agent's prompt context.

Can I book and reschedule appointments with the Acuity Scheduling API?

Yes. POST /appointments creates a booking with appointment_type_id, datetime, and client fields. POST /appointments/{id}/cancel and POST /appointments/{id}/reschedule handle the cancellation and reschedule paths, with Acuity sending confirmation emails to the client automatically.

What are the rate limits for the Acuity Scheduling API?

The OpenAPI spec does not declare explicit rate limits, so check Acuity's developer docs for the current ceiling. Use availability endpoints (/availability/times, /availability/check-times) before posting a booking to reduce 409-style collision retries.

How do I check availability and book through Jentic?

Run pip install jentic, search Jentic for 'check Acuity availability', load GET /availability/times, then chain a search for 'book an Acuity appointment' to load POST /appointments. Jentic injects basic auth from the vault, so the agent only supplies appointment_type_id, datetime, and client details.

Does the Acuity Scheduling API support intake forms?

Yes. The /forms endpoint lists the intake forms configured in the account, and form answers are returned alongside an appointment record. That lets an agent pull a client's intake responses at the same time it confirms the booking.
