## Verdicts

**OpenTable APIs.** The public documentation covers diner-side and venue-side booking in detail, with slot locks, policy endpoints, error tables and an X-Request-Id header for safe retries. Access needs partner approval and a contract, rate limits and prices are not published, and the status page and main website could not be read.

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

## Before you call either

### OpenTable APIs

1. Lock the slot before calling Make Reservation, since the lock and its reservation_token expire within 5 minutes
2. Send a unique X-Request-Id on every POST, PUT and PATCH so a retried booking is not duplicated
3. Fetch booking and cancellation policies before booking and show any deposit, hold or service fee to the diner
4. Use the Consumer API for diner bookings and the In-House Booking API only for a restaurant's own voice or phone channel
5. Ask the OpenTable representative for the rate limit of each endpoint before going live

### 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.
