Steps
Create an API application under LibCal Admin > API to obtain a Client ID and Client Secret
Exchange the client credentials for an OAuth2 access token from LibCal's token endpoint
Send GET /1.1/space/category/{category_id}?availability with the bearer token to list bookable slots for that category
POST to the bookings endpoint with the target space_id, start time, and patron details to create the reservation
Read the returned booking ID to confirm the reservation
Known gotchas
Client ID/Secret must never be exposed in browser-side code; Springshare's v1.1+ endpoints assume the secret stays on a server-side proxy
Slot granularity (e.g., every five minutes) and minimum booking duration are configured per space category in LibCal admin, so returned availability arrays must be filtered accordingly, not assumed to be one-hour blocks
