A diner-side Partner API with idempotent booking, a stated rate limit, per-API status monitoring and a changelog updated on 13 October 2026, plus a read-only MCP server for restaurants. Partnerships are activated restaurant by restaurant, API access is priced through sales, and the docs are a Postman collection without OpenAPI or llms.txt.

Treatwell

Treatment and venue discovery with visible consumer prices. Open agent booking access was not verified.

Before you call either

Eat App Partner API

  1. Send a unique idempotency_token with each new booking so a retry returns the first result
  2. Use POST /partners/v2/availability/range, not the legacy availability endpoint
  3. Keep include_tables ranges to 24 hours or less and pass covers with it
  4. Stay under 60 requests a minute and wait for the next minute after a 429
  5. Cancel by PATCH with status canceled, after which the reservation can no longer change

Treatwell

  1. Hand the final booking to the person unless Treatwell has approved an integration.
  2. Check the selected venue’s cancellation deadline and payment option.
