About the Resource Types API

The Resource Types API is an integral part of the Wix Bookings app, designed to manage and interact with resource types, such as room, equipment or vehicle. Defining resource types enables consistent classification of resources and is essential for making them bookable and avoiding double bookings.

The Resource Types API provides functionality to manage resource types, including creating, updating, deleting, and querying resource types.

Before you begin

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

  • Ensure that the Wix Bookings app is installed and configured on the site before using this API.
  • Resource Types API is part of the Resource Management feature in Wix Bookings. Learn more about managing your resources.
  • A resource must be connected to a resource type in order for it to be bookable and to avoid double bookings. Learn more about Resources. In turn, the resource type must be connected to the relevant services. Learn more about Services.
  • For resources that are associated to staff members, the Wix Bookings app automatically prevents double bookings. The availability of a staff member can be managed by changing the events in the associated working hours schedule. Learn more about Staff Members and Events API.
