  title: HoneyBook API (Modeled) Clients API
  description: HoneyBook does not publish a self-serve public developer API or a public API reference. This document models the logical resource surface implied by HoneyBook's product (clients/leads, projects, contracts, proposals, invoices, payments, scheduler sessions) and by the trigger/action events exposed through its Zapier integration (New Client, New Inquiry, Project Booked, Payment Received, Project Stage Changed). An internal API host, https://api.honeybook.com, is live behind Cloudflare and clearly backs HoneyBook's own web/mobile apps and its native integrations, but HoneyBook has never published endpoint documentation, a client registration/OAuth flow, or a field dictionary for outside developers. Third-party integration guides (e.g. Rollout) reference an OAuth 2.0 flow against api.honeybook.com and a `/v1/` base path, but are inconsistent with each other on the exact token endpoint and grant type, and are not independently verifiable - treat every path, parameter, and schema below as an honest, sourced-but-unverified model, not a confirmed reference. Confirm directly with HoneyBook before attempting integration.
