The area type is what decides which sports the area can be booked for and what it is priced from, so resolve it first rather than guessing. The new area enters partner availability feeds immediately, with an `availability_changes` entry written in the same transaction - so a partner reconciling against the change cursor sees the court appear. Created areas default to `active` and `Public`. An area created `maintenance`, `inactive` or non-public is returned here and resolves by id, but will not appear in GET /v1/platform/areas, which lists only what is bookable today. Supports the `Idempotency-Key` header. Needs `areas:write`, the same scope that blocks and unblocks areas. Existing grants therefore gain this the moment it ships; an OAuth connection made before it will not, because a grant expands the wildcard at consent time - reconnect to pick it up. ## OpenAPI ````yaml /openapi-platform.json post /v1/platform/areas openapi: 3.0.0 info: title: 1club Platform API version: 1.0.0 description: >- The 1club Platform API lets you programmatically access and manage your organization's data. ## Official API Contract This documentation is the official source of truth for the 1club Platform API. If an integration relies on undocumented endpoints, fields, response shapes, or internal behavior outside this spec, we can't guarantee backward compatibility. Build against what's documented here to stay stable as the platform evolves. ## Authentication All requests require a customer API key passed as a Bearer token: ``` Authorization: Bearer 1club_sk_live_... ``` Generate API keys from the admin portal under **Settings > API Tokens**. The key is tied to your organization - all responses are scoped to your org's data. ## Rate Limiting - **100 requests per minute** per API key - When exceeded, the API returns `429 Too Many Requests` with a `Retry-After` header - Rate limit headers are included in every response: - `X-RateLimit-Limit` - max requests per window - `X-RateLimit-Remaining` - requests remaining - `X-RateLimit-Reset` - seconds until the window resets ## Errors | Status | Meaning | |--------|---------| | `400` | Invalid request parameters | | `401` | Missing or invalid API key | | `404` | Resource not found (or doesn't belong to your organization) | | `429` | Rate limit exceeded | | `500` | Internal server error | contact: name: 1club API Support email: support@1club.ai servers: - url: https://api.1club.ai description: Production API security: - customerApiAuth: [] tags: [] paths: /v1/platform/areas: post: tags: - Areas summary: Create an area description: > Adds a bookable area - a court, a studio, a lane - to one of the organization's clubs. `clubId` comes from GET /v1/platform/clubs and `areaTypeId` from GET /v1/platform/area-types; both must belong to this organization.
