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.\n\n**Zoom Scheduler API.** Each of the 24 operations has its own granular OAuth scope, and Zoom Scheduler and the REST API are separate components on the status page. No operation moves a booking, no official SDK covers Scheduler, and Zoom's API terms forbid benchmarking or monitoring the service.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Acuity Scheduling API\n\n1. Call `/availability/dates` then `/availability/times` with `appointmentTypeID` before `POST /appointments`, which validates the slot as a client would\n2. Avoid `admin=true` unless the owner asks for it, because it skips availability and form validation\n3. Pass `noEmail=true` when a booking or cancellation must not send the client an email or SMS\n4. Check `GET /appointments` filtered by `email` and date before retrying a booking, since no idempotency key is documented\n5. Stay under 10 requests a second and 20 concurrent connections per IP, and back off on 429, which carries no documented `Retry-After`\n\n### Zoom Scheduler API\n\n1. Call `GET /scheduler/schedules/{scheduleId}/available_times` and book only a spot whose status is `available`\n2. Send `start_date_time` in ISO 8601 with the booker's IANA `time_zone` to `POST /scheduler/attendee`. Expect 409 on a conflict\n3. To move a booking, cancel it with `PATCH /scheduler/events/{eventId}` and `status` set to `cancelled`, then book the new slot\n4. List scheduled events before retrying a booking, because no idempotency key is documented\n5. Request a new Server-to-Server OAuth token every hour. That grant issues no refresh token\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Acuity Scheduling API or Zoom Scheduler API?\n\nZoom Scheduler API scores 50.6 (D) on agent readiness against Acuity Scheduling API's 42.4 (E), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Acuity Scheduling API leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do Acuity Scheduling API and Zoom Scheduler API need an API key?\n\nAcuity Scheduling API takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Zoom Scheduler API uses an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Acuity Scheduling API and Zoom Scheduler API without installing anything?\n\nYes. Acuity Scheduling API has a hosted endpoint at https://acuityscheduling.com/api/v1 and Zoom Scheduler API at https://api.zoom.us/v2.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/acuity-scheduling-vs-zoom-scheduler.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/acuity-scheduling-vs-zoom-scheduler.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"acuity-scheduling\", \"b\": \"zoom-scheduler\"}`.
