Hey everyone,
I’m building an app that needs to use the MindBody API. I’ve managed to connect to it, but I’m not sure about something. Can I only get info for my own studio, or is it possible to access data for all studios on the MindBody platform?
I signed up on their website and got these developer login details:
Username: StudioAdmin
Password: 123
I found some example code for iOS and it works fine with my login info. But here’s the thing – I really want to get data for all studios, not just mine. Is that even allowed with this API?
If anyone has experience with this or knows where I can find more info, I’d really appreciate some help. Thanks!
As someone who’s been in your shoes, I can tell you that accessing all studios’ data through the MindBody API isn’t straightforward. I ran into this limitation when developing a multi-studio booking platform.
The API is designed to protect each studio’s data, so your credentials are tied to a specific studio. What I ended up doing was partnering with individual studios and obtaining separate API keys for each. It’s a bit cumbersome, but it works.
If you’re dead set on accessing all studios, you might want to reach out to MindBody directly. They occasionally offer broader access for certain types of applications, but it’s not standard. Just be prepared for a lengthy approval process and potentially higher fees.
In the meantime, I’d suggest building your app to work with individual studio data. This way, you can demonstrate its value to potential studio partners and MindBody itself.
I’ve worked extensively with the MindBody API for several projects, and I can confirm that accessing data for all studios isn’t possible with standard credentials. The API is designed to provide access only to the specific studio associated with your account for data privacy and security reasons.
If you’re looking to gather data from multiple studios, you’d need separate API credentials for each one. This typically requires permission from individual studio owners. There are some aggregator services that compile data from multiple studios, but they operate under special agreements with MindBody.
For your app’s needs, I’d suggest focusing on single-studio functionality first. If broader access is crucial, you might need to explore partnerships with MindBody or individual studios directly. Hope this helps clarify the API’s limitations and potential workarounds.
hey man, from what ive seen mindbody api only lets u grab one studio’s data at a time. if u need more studios, u’ll need separate logins or a collab with mindbody. best of luck!
