# Create a service booking

`POST /v1/bookings?is_double_booking_enabled={is_double_booking_enabled} (COPY)`

This API helps you to create a service booking request for an appointment. To create a group service booking, you must specify in the API request body the required `guest_id` and appointment-related `item` details. After you add appointment details for multiple guests, this API automatically creates a group booking. For more information on these parameters and how to create a group booking, refer to the **Request Body Details** table and the **Body** section respectively.If you have a preference for a specific therapist for the service, you can specify the required therapist ID in the API request body. If you have a preference for a specific gender of therapist for the service, you can specify the required gender option in the API request body.After you use this API to create a service booking, a unique 32-digit `booking_id` is generated. You can then use this `booking_id` to retrieve available slots for the service booking, reserve a slot for the service booking, and then confirm the service booking to complete the appointment-booking process.This API also allows guests to create service bookings for other guests, provided there is a relationship defined in Zenoti, and the booking can only be done by the host.  The host_id parameter in the request object can also select the host for group bookings. This API now supports Zenoti growth features.
