# Legacy Api

> REST API for integrating your POS or external system with NowBookIt's reservation, sales, and gift card platform.

The Legacy Api is NowBookIt's REST API for point-of-sale and technology partners.

<Info>
  **Base URL** and **API key** are provided during onboarding. All endpoints require the `X-API-KEY` request header. Contact [platform.integrations@nowbookit.com](mailto:platform.integrations@nowbookit.com) to get started.
</Info>

## Get started

<Steps>
  <Step title="Obtain your API key">
    Contact your NowBookIt partner manager. You'll receive your `X-API-KEY` and base URL — both are required for every request.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick your integration pattern">
    Use the **REST API** to read bookings, post sales, and manage gift cards. Use **Outbound Webhooks** to receive real-time events from NowBookIt. Use **Partner Inbound Webhooks** if your system fires events and you want to push them into NowBookIt.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start with bookings">
    `GET /Bookings` with `UpdatedFromDate` + `UpdatedToDate` is the most common first endpoint — sync any bookings changed since your last poll.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Post sales back">
    After a table closes, use `POST /Sales` with the booking ID or table number. NowBookIt matches the transaction to the booking and updates the diary automatically.
  </Step>
