--- name: acuityscheduling description: | Acuity Scheduling API integration with managed OAuth. Manage appointments, calendars, clients, and availability. Use this skill when users want to schedule, reschedule, or cancel appointments, check availability, or manage clients and calendars. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). compatibility: Requires network access and valid Maton API key metadata: author: maton version: "1.0" --- # Acuity Scheduling Access the Acuity Scheduling API with managed OAuth authentication. Manage appointments, calendars, clients, availability, and more. ## Quick Start ```bash # List appointments python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/appointments?max=10') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Base URL ``` https://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/{resource} ``` Replace `{resource}` with the Acuity API resource path. The gateway proxies requests to `acuityscheduling.com/api/v1` and automatically injects your OAuth token. ## Authentication All requests require the Maton API key in the Authorization header: ``` Authorization: Bearer $MATON_API_KEY ``` **Environment Variable:** Set your API key as `MATON_API_KEY`: ```bash export MATON_API_KEY="YOUR_API_KEY" ``` ### Getting Your API Key 1. Sign in or create an account at [maton.ai](https://maton.ai) 2. Go to [maton.ai/settings](https://maton.ai/settings) 3. Copy your API key ## Connection Management Manage your Acuity Scheduling OAuth connections at `https://ctrl.maton.ai`. ### List Connections ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections?app=acuity-scheduling&status=ACTIVE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Create Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json data = json.dumps({'app': 'acuity-scheduling'}).encode() req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections', data=data, method='POST') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Content-Type', 'application/json') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Get Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json { "connection": { "connection_id": "21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80", "status": "ACTIVE", "creation_time": "2025-12-08T07:20:53.488460Z", "last_updated_time": "2026-01-31T20:03:32.593153Z", "url": "https://connect.maton.ai/?session_token=...", "app": "acuity-scheduling", "metadata": {} } } ``` Open the returned `url` in a browser to complete OAuth authorization. ### Delete Connection ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections/{connection_id}', method='DELETE') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ### Specifying Connection If you have multiple Acuity Scheduling connections, specify which one to use with the `Maton-Connection` header: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/appointments') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') req.add_header('Maton-Connection', '21fd90f9-5935-43cd-b6c8-bde9d915ca80') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` If omitted, the gateway uses the default (oldest) active connection. ## API Reference ### Account Information #### Get Account Info ```bash GET /acuity-scheduling/me ``` Returns account information including timezone, scheduling page URL, and plan details. **Response:** ```json { "id": 12345, "email": "user@example.com", "timezone": "America/Los_Angeles", "name": "My Business", "schedulingPage": "https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=12345", "plan": "Professional", "currency": "USD" } ``` ### Appointments #### List Appointments ```bash GET /acuity-scheduling/appointments ``` **Query Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Description | |-----------|------|-------------| | `max` | integer | Maximum results (default: 100) | | `minDate` | date | Appointments on or after this date | | `maxDate` | date | Appointments on or before this date | | `calendarID` | integer | Filter by calendar | | `appointmentTypeID` | integer | Filter by appointment type | | `canceled` | boolean | Include canceled appointments (default: false) | | `firstName` | string | Filter by client first name | | `lastName` | string | Filter by client last name | | `email` | string | Filter by client email | | `excludeForms` | boolean | Omit intake forms for faster response | | `direction` | string | Sort order: ASC or DESC (default: DESC) | **Example:** ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/appointments?max=10&minDate=2026-02-01') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` **Response:** ```json [ { "id": 1630290133, "firstName": "Jane", "lastName": "McTest", "phone": "1235550101", "email": "jane.mctest@example.com", "date": "February 4, 2026", "time": "9:30am", "endTime": "10:20am", "datetime": "2026-02-04T09:30:00-0800", "type": "Consultation", "appointmentTypeID": 88791369, "duration": "50", "calendar": "Chris", "calendarID": 13499175, "canceled": false, "confirmationPage": "https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?..." } ] ``` #### Get Appointment ```bash GET /acuity-scheduling/appointments/{id} ``` #### Create Appointment ```bash POST /acuity-scheduling/appointments Content-Type: application/json { "datetime": "2026-02-15T09:00", "appointmentTypeID": 123, "firstName": "John", "lastName": "Doe", "email": "john.doe@example.com", "phone": "555-123-4567", "timezone": "America/New_York" } ``` **Required Fields:** -

Use `minDate` and `maxDate` to paginate through date ranges: ```bash # First page GET /acuity-scheduling/appointments?max=100&minDate=2026-01-01&maxDate=2026-01-31 # Next page GET /acuity-scheduling/appointments?max=100&minDate=2026-02-01&maxDate=2026-02-28 ``` ## Code Examples ### JavaScript ```javascript const response = await fetch( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/appointments?max=10', { headers: { 'Authorization': `Bearer ${process.env.MATON_API_KEY}` } } ); const appointments = await response.json(); ``` ### Python ```python import os import requests response = requests.get( 'https://gateway.maton.ai/acuity-scheduling/appointments', headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}'}, params={'max': 10} ) appointments = response.json() ``` ## Notes - Datetime values must be parseable by PHP's `strtotime()` function - Timezones use IANA format (e.g., "America/New_York", "America/Los_Angeles") - Client update/delete requires clients to have existing appointments - Rescheduling requires the new datetime to be an available time slot - Use `excludeForms=true` for faster appointment list responses - IMPORTANT: When using curl commands, use `curl -g` when URLs contain brackets to disable glob parsing - IMPORTANT: When piping curl output to `jq` or other commands, environment variables like `$MATON_API_KEY` may not expand correctly in some shell environments. You may get "Invalid API key" errors when piping. ## Error Handling | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | 400 | Invalid request (e.g., time not available, client not found) | | 401 | Invalid or missing Maton API key | | 404 | Resource not found | | 429 | Rate limited | | 4xx/5xx | Passthrough error from Acuity API | ### Troubleshooting: Invalid API Key **When you receive a "Invalid API key" error, ALWAYS follow these steps before concluding there is an issue:** 1. Check that the `MATON_API_KEY` environment variable is set: ```bash echo $MATON_API_KEY ``` 2. Verify the API key is valid by listing connections: ```bash python <<'EOF' import urllib.request, os, json req = urllib.request.Request('https://ctrl.maton.ai/connections') req.add_header('Authorization', f'Bearer {os.environ["MATON_API_KEY"]}') print(json.dumps(json.load(urllib.request.urlopen(req)), indent=2)) EOF ``` ## Resources - [Acuity Scheduling API Quick Start](https://developers.acuityscheduling.com/reference/quick-start) - [Appointments API](https://developers.acuityscheduling.com/reference/get-appointments) - [Availability API](https://developers.acuityscheduling.com/reference/get-availability-dates) - [Calendars API](https://developers.acuityscheduling.com/reference/get-calendars) - [Clients API](https://developers.acuityscheduling.com/reference/clients) - [OAuth2 Documentation](https://developers.acuityscheduling.com/docs/oauth2)
