Before you call either
Cozi Family Organizer
- Use official read-only feeds for calendar visibility.
- Make edits in the originating calendar and allow for the refresh delay.
Cronofy API
- Call the data centre host the account was created in (api-uk, api-de and so on), since data never crosses regions
- Reuse the same
event_idwhen retrying an event write, since Cronofy upserts on it - Ask for
response_formatslots when you want bookable times rather than free periods - On 423, ask the user to relink, since Cronofy has already emailed them
- Keep under 50 requests a second and 500 a minute, and pause on 429
