Verdicts

Acuity Scheduling API

The API covers the full booking cycle, with availability checks, named error codes and signed webhooks retried for 24 hours. API access is sold only on the Premium plan at $61 a month, the single OAuth scope grants the whole account, and no changelog, idempotency key or audit log was found in the reviewed documentation.

Cozi Family Organizer

Documented read-only calendar exchange. No official external-agent write API verified.

Before you call either

Acuity Scheduling API

  1. Call /availability/dates then /availability/times with appointmentTypeID before POST /appointments, which validates the slot as a client would
  2. Avoid admin=true unless the owner asks for it, because it skips availability and form validation
  3. Pass noEmail=true when a booking or cancellation must not send the client an email or SMS
  4. Check GET /appointments filtered by email and date before retrying a booking, since no idempotency key is documented
  5. Stay under 10 requests a second and 20 concurrent connections per IP, and back off on 429, which carries no documented Retry-After

Cozi Family Organizer

  1. Use official read-only feeds for calendar visibility.
  2. Make edits in the originating calendar and allow for the refresh delay.
