Deprecations and future breaking changes

• The GET /free-busy/spaces endpoints will be removed some time in the future. Please use the POST /free-busy/spaces endpoint instead.
• Event properties started_at and ended_at will be removed some time in the future. Please use start and end instead.
• The ?include=amenities submodel for spaces will be removed some time in the future. Please use ?include=space_amenities instead.

Base URL

All requests should be made to https://api.robinpowered.com/v1.0. Please note that this may change with future releases of the API.

Authorization

Every API request must contain an Authorization header with a valid access token. You'll need one to get started.

Get your token

👍

At a Hackathon?

You can skip this step and use your event's custom link to generate your token instead. #easy

Log into the web dashboard and generate a new token via your team's integration settings. (Note: You must be an administrator)

Example Authorization header

Authorization: Access-Token {{token}}

# Standard CURL request with authorization header
curl -X GET https://api.robinpowered.com/v1.0/spaces/:id
    -H "Authorization: Access-Token {{token}}"

Response structure

All API responses share a basic JSON structure. The response is always an object with two properties meta and data and a conditional third property, paging.

The examples below show what full responses looks like:
