# About the Resource Types V2 API

The Resource Types V2 API allows you to classify resources that a business
needs to provide services to customers. This classification ensures that Wix
Bookings can automatically check availability and help avoid double bookings.
Examples of resource types include rooms, equipment, vehicles, or any other
custom asset type requiring scheduling and availability management.

With the Resource Types V2 API, you can create, retrieve, count, and update
resource types.

To manage staff, use the [Staff Members API](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/staff-members/introduction.md).
Wix Bookings automatically classifies staff members in a resource type, which can't be managed with the Resource Types V2 API. The system also automatically manages a resource for each staff member.

## Before you begin

It’s important to note the following points before starting to code:

- [Wix Bookings](https://www.wix.com/app-market/web-solution/bookings)
  must be installed on a site before you can use the Resource Types API.
- To ensure a [resource](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/resources/resources-v2/introduction.md)
  is bookable and to prevent double bookings, it must be linked to a resource
  type. Customers can only book a [service](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/services/services-v2/introduction.md)
  if at least 1 resource of each required type is available during the selected
  time.
- Wix Bookings automatically manages a resource type for staff members and a resource for every [staff member](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/staff-members/introduction.md). To avoid data conflicts, don't use the [Resources V2](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/resources/resources-v2/introduction.md)
  and [Resource Types V2](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/resources/resource-types-v2/introduction.md)
  APIs to manage staff.

## Use Cases

- [Create a resource type with bookable resources](https://dev.wix.com/docs/rest/business-solutions/bookings/resources/resource-types-v2/sample-flows.md#create-a-resource-type-with-bookable_resources).

## Terminology

- __Resource__: An asset or entity that a business needs to provide services
  to customers. For example, a specific meeting room or piece of equipment.
- __Resource type__: A classification that links resources, making them
  bookable.
- __Staff member__: An individual providing a service within Wix Bookings.
