  description: >-
    The Cronofy API is a REST interface for embedding scheduling and calendar
    functionality into applications. It provides a unified abstraction over
    Google Calendar, Microsoft 365 / Outlook, Exchange, and Apple iCloud,
    covering connected calendars, two-way event sync, free/busy and
    availability querying, real-time scheduling pages, smart invites, and push
    notification channels. All requests are authenticated with an OAuth 2.0
    Bearer access token.
