place_booking

org.mercantry/registry · Verify this server

Request a table reservation. Returns booking_id with state 'queued' immediately; fulfillment is asynchronous (a call is placed to the merchant). Poll get_booking_status or supply callback_url for webhooks. RETRY SAFETY: pass a unique client_reference_id (recommended: always); if this call times out or errors ambiguously, retry with the SAME client_reference_id and the registry returns the already-created booking instead of double-booking the restaurant. Never re-call place_booking after a timeout without one. If the merchant counter-offers a time within window_minutes and accept_within_window=true, it is auto-accepted (recommended). Otherwise the booking pauses in needs_input for you to resolve via modify_booking. Merchants on the human_call channel are fulfilled by a human operator during the operator window published in get_registry_meta — those bookings queue until worked (up to the channel SLA), so book ahead rather than for the next hour.
