/calendar/v1/availability/slotsOpen bookable slots across one or more actors
Returns the slots that are actually bookable for the requested actors, with working hours, availability exceptions, existing events, expanded recurrence occurrences and ACTIVE UNEXPIRED HOLDS already applied. Calendar performs the timezone and interval arithmetic so a caller does not have to; GET /calendar/v1/availability/{actorReference} returns the raw inputs instead and does not account for holds. An actor with no active availability policy contributes no bookable time.

Purpose and use cases
Open bookable slots across one or more actors
The owning App is Vision Calendar. Calendar owns scheduling resources, workspace and actor bindings, visibility, recurrence, conflict, and concurrency rules.
Request
POST /calendar/v1/availability/slots
This contract intentionally declares no direct server URL. Obtain the routed App origin before attempting the request.
Authentication and authorization
Send a Vision-issued bearer token for the exact App audience. The token must include the calendar entitlement and satisfy the calendar workspace reference required binding.
- Required scope:
calendar:availability:read
Human roles are not declared in OpenAPI. Record-level and business permission checks remain the owning App's authority.
Headers
Authorization: Bearer <access-token>— required.Accept: application/json— recommended where a JSON response is declared.Content-Type: application/json— required for the documented request representation.
Undeclared tracing, idempotency, conditional-request, and version headers are not assumed on this page.
Path and query parameters
This operation declares no path or query parameters.
Request body
Media type: application/json. The body is required.
| Field | Type | Rules | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| actorReferences | array | required; minimum items 1; maximum items 50 | Not described in the contract. |
| from | string · date-time | required | Not described in the contract. |
| to | string · date-time | required | Must be after from; the range cannot exceed 93 days. |
| durationMinutes | integer | required; minimum 5; maximum 1440 | Length of the meeting being offered. |
| slotIntervalMinutes | integer | optional; minimum 5; maximum 1440 | Grid spacing. Defaults to durationMinutes, giving back-to-back slots. Set smaller for overlapping offers. |
| requirement | any | all | optional; default "any" | any: at least one requested actor is free for the whole slot (round-robin booking). all: every requested actor is free (panel booking). |
| limit | integer | optional; default 100; minimum 1; maximum 500 | Not described in the contract. |

Placeholder values are generated from the approved schema and are not live credentials or customer data. Replace every angle-bracket or shell variable value. Examples cannot be run until the App has a routed base URL and your client has the required grant.

}Errors and troubleshooting
Error bodies and codes are shown only where the approved contract declares them. Use status, the declared error schema, and any correlation identifier returned by the App; do not infer that two Apps share one envelope.
400— Request validation failed401— Credential missing or invalid403— Credential lacks entitlement, scope, or active binding404— No accessible record was found503— Database or required configuration unavailable
Collection behavior
Pagination: not declared. Filtering/search: not declared. Sorting: not declared.
Cursor lifetime, cursor binding, stable ordering, maximum traversal, and unknown-filter behavior are not assumed unless stated by a parameter description or schema constraint above.
Operational behavior
- Rate limit: No operation-specific limit or 429 response is declared.
- Retry: Retry only when the documented error model or response headers authorize it. Timeout and backoff values are not declared by this operation.
- Idempotency: No idempotency header or replay window is declared.
- Concurrency: No ETag, If-Match, or optimistic-version header is declared.
Security and privacy
- Keep client credentials and bearer tokens on trusted servers.
- Send only to the exact approved HTTPS origin and audience.
- Treat response data according to the owning App's classification and retention policy; the OpenAPI contract does not itself grant data access.
- Do not log credentials, tokens, complete private payloads, or secrets.
Edge cases and known documentation gaps
- No stable operation ID (legacy exception).
- No direct server URL; gateway routing is unresolved here.
- The request body has no purpose or conditional-rule description.
- Business roles, timeout, retry budget, rate value, idempotency window, and concurrency behavior are absent unless explicitly stated above.
