Set Authorization: 'Bearer <API_KEY_OR_ACCESS_TOKEN>' if the event type is private/hidden; public event types can be queried without auth, but unauthenticated calls are rate-limited.
Set header cal-api-version: 2024-09-04 on every request to this endpoint; omitting it makes the API fall back to an older, differently-shaped response.
Send GET https://api.cal.com/v2/slots with one identifier combination: eventTypeId=<number>, OR eventTypeSlug + username (individual), OR eventTypeSlug + teamSlug (team event), OR usernames=<comma-separated, min 2> for dynamic events.
Include required query params start=<UTC ISO 8601 date or datetime, e.g. 2050-09-05 or 2050-09-05T09:00:00Z> and end=<UTC ISO 8601> to bound the search window.
Optionally add timeZone=<IANA tz, e.g. America/New_York> to convert slots to that zone; if omitted, results are UTC.
Optionally add duration=<minutes> to override the event type's default length when the event type supports multiple durations.
Optionally add format=range to receive {start,end} objects per slot instead of the default array of start-time strings (format=time).
Optionally add organizationSlug for org context, and bookingUidToReschedule=<uid> to exclude an existing booking's busy time when finding reschedule slots.
Parse the response: {status:'success', data:{...}} where data is keyed by date string (YYYY-MM-DD), each value an array of slot times (or {start,end} objects with format=range).
Treat an empty data object {} as 'no slots available in this range' rather than an error; check the status field before assuming failure.
Forgetting cal-api-version: 2024-09-04 silently selects an older version with a different response shape rather than erroring — always set it explicitly.
Supply exactly one valid identifier combination (eventTypeId, or eventTypeSlug+username, or eventTypeSlug+teamSlug, or usernames) — mixing or omitting them causes a 400.
start/end must be UTC ISO 8601; passing local time without proper formatting shifts the returned date buckets.
Without timeZone, slot times come back in UTC, which looks wrong to end users unless you convert or pass their timezone.
Default format=time returns only start times — use format=range if you need slot end times.
A separate older endpoint GET /v2/slots/available exists with different parameter names (startTime, endTime, usernameList, slotFormat); do not mix its parameter names into /v2/slots calls.
