Resources API Introduction

The Resources API enables you to manage resources. A resource is a business asset like a staff member, a room, or equipment that is needed to provide a service. A special type of resource is the so-called business resource. This resource can be used to get access to the business schedule which contains the business's default working hours for staff members.

There are two versions of the API available: version 1 and version 2. Since version 1 will be deprecated in the near future you are encouraged to transition to version 2 for managing staff and other resources, while continuing to use version 1 for managing the business resource until further updates are provided.

Version 2 (recommended)

Introduces a modernized structure with 3 distinct APIs:

• Staff Members API: Specifically designed for managing staff members. Learn more about Staff Members API.
• Resources API: Focused on managing general resources such as rooms or equipment. Learn more about Resources V2 API.
• Resource Types API: Provides functionality to manage resource types used to classify resources. Learn more about Resource Types V2 API.

Version 1

This version provides access to both staff resources and the business resource. Each resource owns a schedule. The schedule defines the resource's availability. You can set up a custom schedule for a resource, use the business's default working hours, or combine the two.

Resources have tags. There are 2 tags used by the Wix Bookings app:

• "staff": Resources with the "staff" tag appear in the Bookings app's Staff page. Resources created using the Wix Bookings UI will be created with the "staff" tag.
• "business": The Bookings app creates a resource with a name and tag value of "business". This resource owns a schedule that contains the operating hours of the business and cannot be deleted. This schedule is used when creating resources that use the business’s operating hours for the resource's working hours.
