Yes, every Golf O'Clock venue gets a full API and webhooks at no extra cost. Your developer or agency can connect your booking system to your website, your own dashboards or any other tool you already use.

## What's included

- **A full API** for connecting Golf O'Clock to your own systems, described on our [developer tools page](https://golfoclock.com/features/developers).
- **Secure API keys** you create and revoke.
- **Webhooks** so your other tools can trigger automations.
- **Sending booking data out** to the tools you already use.

## Getting started

A manager creates an API key and shares it securely with the developer. Interactive API documentation is available from the management screen.

## Why venues use it

Most venues never need the API, because the [built-in integrations](https://golfoclock.com/integrations) and [automations](https://golfoclock.com/help/automations-for-golf-venues) cover the common tools. It's there for the rest: a custom website widget, a company dashboard, a loyalty app, or a tool we don't integrate with yet. Because every venue has it, an agency can build once and reuse it across clients.

## Common questions

**Is the API an extra cost?**
No. It's included for every venue.

**Can I give a contractor temporary access?**
Yes, with a key that expires automatically.

**Can I connect my CRM without a developer?**
Often yes, with a built-in integration like [GoHighLevel](https://golfoclock.com/help/gohighlevel-integration) or an automation that sends bookings to it.

**Is there documentation?**
Yes. Managers can open interactive API documentation from the management screen.

**Can bookings be sent to my other tools automatically?**
Yes, through an automation, whenever a booking is made or changes.
