Cal.com API v2

This skill provides guidance for AI agents to interact with the Cal.com API v2, enabling scheduling automation, booking management, and calendar integrations.

Base URL

All API requests should be made to:

https://api.cal.com/v2

Authentication

All API requests require authentication via Bearer token in the Authorization header:

Authorization: Bearer cal_<your_api_key>

API keys must be prefixed with cal_. You can generate API keys from your Cal.com dashboard under Settings > Developer > API Keys.

Core Concepts

Event Types

Event types define bookable meeting configurations (duration, location, availability rules). Each event type has a unique slug used in booking URLs.

Bookings

Bookings are confirmed appointments created when someone books an event type. Each booking has a unique UID for identification.

Schedules

Schedules define when a user is available for bookings. Users can have multiple schedules with different working hours.

Slots

Slots represent available time windows that can be booked based on event type configuration and user availability.

Common Operations

Check Available Slots

Before creating a booking, check available time slots:

GET /v2/slots?startTime=2024-01-15T00:00:00Z&endTime=2024-01-22T00:00:00Z&eventTypeId=123&eventTypeSlug=30min

Query parameters:

startTime (required): ISO 8601 start of range
endTime (required): ISO 8601 end of range
eventTypeId or eventTypeSlug: Identify the event type
timeZone: Timezone for slot display (default: UTC)

Response contains available slots grouped by date.

Create a Booking

POST /v2/bookings
Content-Type: application/json

GET /v2/schedules/default

Create a Schedule

POST /v2/schedules

{
  "name": "Working Hours",
  "timeZone": "America/New_York",

    }
  ]
}

Days are 0-indexed (0 = Sunday, 1 = Monday, etc.).

Get Current User

GET /v2/me

Returns the authenticated user's profile information.

Team and Organization Endpoints

For team bookings and organization management, use the organization-scoped endpoints:

List Organization Teams

GET /v2/organizations/{orgId}/teams

Get Team Event Types

GET /v2/organizations/{orgId}/teams/{teamId}/event-types

Create Team Booking

Team event types support different scheduling modes:

COLLECTIVE: All team members must attend
ROUND_ROBIN: Distributes bookings among team members

Webhooks

Configure webhooks to receive real-time notifications:

List Webhooks

GET /v2/webhooks

Create a Webhook

POST /v2/webhooks
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "subscriberUrl": "https://your-app.com/webhook",
  "triggers": ["BOOKING_CREATED", "BOOKING_CANCELLED"],
  "active": true
}

Available triggers:

BOOKING_CREATED
BOOKING_CANCELLED
BOOKING_RESCHEDULED
BOOKING_CONFIRMED
MEETING_STARTED
MEETING_ENDED

Calendar Integration

List Connected Calendars

GET /v2/calendars

Check Busy Times

GET /v2/calendars/busy-times?startTime=2024-01-15T00:00:00Z&endTime=2024-01-22T00:00:00Z

Error Handling

The API returns standard HTTP status codes:

200: Success
201: Created
400: Bad Request (invalid parameters)
401: Unauthorized (invalid or missing API key)
403: Forbidden (insufficient permissions)
404: Not Found
422: Unprocessable Entity (validation error)
500: Internal Server Error

Error responses include a message field:

{
  "status": "error",
  "message": "Booking not found"
}

Rate Limiting

The API implements rate limiting. If you exceed the limit, you'll receive a 429 Too Many Requests response. Implement exponential backoff for retries.

Pagination

List endpoints support pagination via take and skip parameters:

take: Number of items to return (default: 10, max: 250)
skip: Number of items to skip

Best Practices

Always check slot availability before creating bookings
Store booking UIDs for future reference (cancel, reschedule)
Handle timezone conversions carefully - always use ISO 8601 format
Implement webhook handlers for real-time booking updates
Cache event type data to reduce API calls
Use appropriate error handling for all API calls
