  title: SpotOn Reserve Availability Reservations API
  description: The SpotOn Reserve API (powered by SeatNinja) lets partners integrate reservation, waitlist, and guest-management workflows into the SpotOn Reserve product. It supports listing accessible restaurants, checking available reservation times, creating and managing reservations, retrieving wait times, and adding guests to a waitlist. Authentication uses an API key supplied via the x-api-key request header, scoped to specific restaurants. The sandbox environment enforces daily and hourly request quotas; production has no documented rate limit.
