  title: SpotOn Reserve API
  description: >-
    The SpotOn Reserve API (powered by SeatNinja) lets partners integrate
    reservation, waitlist, and guest-management workflows into the SpotOn Reserve
    product. It supports listing accessible restaurants, checking available
    reservation times, creating and managing reservations, retrieving wait times,
    and adding guests to a waitlist. Authentication uses an API key supplied via
    the x-api-key request header, scoped to specific restaurants. The sandbox
    environment enforces daily and hourly request quotas; production has no
    documented rate limit.
