Important Data Formats

When creating events with products for draft quotations, prices and VAT must use specific formats:Prices (price_without_tax):
  • Provided in cents/centimes, not euros/dollars
  • Example: €150.00 = 150000 cents
  • Example: €35.50 = 3550 cents
VAT (vat):
  • Provided in basis points (1/100th of a percent), not percentages
  • Example: 20% VAT = 2000 basis points
  • Example: 10% VAT = 1000 basis points
  • Example: 5.5% VAT = 550 basis points
  • Valid range: 0 to 10000 (0% to 100%)
Why this format? This ensures precision for financial calculations and avoids floating-point rounding errors.
All dates and times must follow specific formats:Dates:
  • Format: DD-MM-YYYY
  • Example: "15-03-2025" for March 15, 2025
Times:
  • Format: HH:mm (24-hour format)
  • Example: "14:30" for 2:30 PM
  • Example: "09:00" for 9:00 AM

​
Rate Limits

The BookingShake API implements rate limiting to ensure fair usage and service quality:
  • POST /events/create: 10 requests per minute
  • GET endpoints (sources, spaces, status, fields): 60 requests per minute
Rate limit information is provided in response headers. See the Rate Limiting Guide for details.
