# How Wix Bookings uses the Calendar APIs

[Wix Bookings](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/about-wix-bookings.md)
integrates with the Calendar APIs in several key ways:

+ **App ID filter**: Wix Bookings passes its
  [app ID](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/articles/getting-started/wix-business-solutions.md)
  when creating a
  [schedule](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/calendar/schedules-v3/introduction.md).
  Only schedules with
  `{"appId": "13d21c63-b5ec-5912-8397-c3a5ddb27a97"}` are displayed in the
  [Bookings calendar](https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-bookings-about-the-wix-booking-calendar).
+ **Service schedules**: Each
  [Bookings service](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/services/services-v2/introduction.md)
  has its own [schedule](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/calendar/schedules-v3/introduction.md),
  where all [events](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/calendar/events-v3/introduction.md)
  related to the service are created. This makes it easy to filter events by
  service.
+ **Staff member schedules**: Each
  [Bookings staff member](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/staff-members-and-resources/staff-member-v1/introduction.md)
  has 2 types of schedules:
  - **Working hours schedule**: Defines the staff member's available working
    hours.
  - **Event schedule**: Tracks when the staff member blocks their availability,
    for example during vacation. This schedule doesn’t include their appointments, or
    course and class sessions.
+ **Availability calculating**: When determining appointment availability, the
  [Bookings availability calendar](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/bookings-and-time-slots/time-slots/availability-calendar/introduction.md)
  considers the staff member's working hours schedule, their event schedule, and
  any event associated with the staff member, like an appointment, course, or
  class session.
+ **Custom event types**: Wix Bookings defines 3 custom
  [event](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/calendar/events-v3/introduction.md)
  types: `APPOINTMENT`, `CLASS`, and `COURSE`, to differentiate between service
  types.
+ **Participation tracking**: For courses, Wix Bookings associates participation
  details with a schedule. For classes and appointments, Wix Bookings associates
  participation details with an event.
+ **Course dates**: Wix Bookings uses the
  [Schedule Time Frames API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-management/calendar/schedule-time-frames-v3/introduction.md)
  to determine when
  [courses](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/terminology.md#course)
  start and end.
