It acts for restaurants and their vendors, not diners, needs partner approval, cannot take card guarantees, and has no public status page, changelog or published prices.\n\n**Treatwell.** Treatment and venue discovery with visible consumer prices. Open agent booking access was not verified.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### TheFork B2B API\n\n1. Read hasPaymentGuaranteeRequirement in the timeslots response before booking, since the API cannot take a card\n2. Check the status field after creating a reservation and treat REQUESTED as unconfirmed\n3. Send the timeslot datetime unchanged as mealDate, because times are the restaurant's local time\n4. Check for an existing reservation before retrying a failed POST, as no idempotency key exists and 409 signals DOUBLE_BOOKING\n5. Cache the access token for its 8,600 seconds and do not request a new one while it is valid\n\n### Treatwell\n\n1. Hand the final booking to the person unless Treatwell has approved an integration.\n2. Check the selected venue’s cancellation deadline and payment option.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, TheFork B2B API or Treatwell?\n\nTheFork B2B API scores 43.6 (E) on agent readiness against Treatwell's 8 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.
