v0 and Acuity Scheduling integration: Step-by-Step Guide 2025

 

Adding Acuity Scheduling Integration Dependencies

 

• Open your project's package.json file.
• In the dependencies section, add the following line for axios. This library will help us make HTTP requests to the Acuity Scheduling API:

  
  "dependencies": {
      "axios": "^0.21.1",
      // ... other dependencies
  }
      

• Since your v0 project does not have a terminal to run an install command, manually saving this change in your package.json will ensure the dependency is tracked. Your project hosting environment should install it automatically.

 

Creating the Acuity Integration File

 

• In your project directory, create a new file called acuityIntegration.ts. If your project has a src folder, it is recommended to place this file there.
• Copy and paste the following code snippet into acuityIntegration.ts. This code defines a function to fetch appointments from Acuity Scheduling using Basic Authentication:

  
  import axios from 'axios';
  
  // Replace these with your actual Acuity Scheduling credentials
  const ACUITYUSERID = 'YOURACUITYUSER_ID';
  const ACUITYAPIKEY = 'YOURACUITYAPI_KEY';
  export async function getAppointments() {
    const auth = Buffer.from(${ACUITY_USER_ID}:${ACUITY_API_KEY}).toString('base64');
    try {
      const response = await axios.get('https://acuityscheduling.com/api/v1/appointments', {
        headers: {
          Authorization: Basic ${auth},
        }
      });
      return response.data;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error fetching appointments from Acuity Scheduling', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }
      

  
  


• 
  Save the file after inserting the code.
  

 

Integrating Acuity Scheduling Code into Your Main Application

 

• Open your main application file. Depending on your project structure, this could be app.ts or index.ts.
• Import the getAppointments function from the acuity integration file at the top of your main file:

  
  import { getAppointments } from './acuityIntegration';
      

• In the appropriate place in your application logic (for example, when a user requests to view their appointments), add a call to getAppointments. You can use the following example code snippet:

  
  async function showAcuityAppointments() {
    try {
      const appointments = await getAppointments();
      console.log('Acuity Appointments:', appointments);
      // Insert additional code here to display the appointments on your UI
    } catch (error) {
      console.error('Error retrieving appointments:', error);
    }
  }
  
  // Call the function where it makes sense in your application flow
  showAcuityAppointments();
      

  
  


• 
  Save the changes to your main application file.
  

 

Configuring API Credentials

 

• Replace YOURACUITYUSERID and YOURACUITYAPIKEY in the acuityIntegration.ts file with your actual Acuity Scheduling credentials.
• If your application allows configuration via environment variables, you can adjust the code to read these values dynamically. For example:

  
  const ACUITYUSERID = process.env.ACUITYUSERID || 'YOURACUITYUSER_ID';
  const ACUITYAPIKEY = process.env.ACUITYAPIKEY || 'YOURACUITYAPI_KEY';
      

 

Testing Your Acuity Integration

 

• Open the browser console or check your application's logging output.
• Ensure that the getAppointments function is called as expected and that the appointments data from Acuity Scheduling is logged or displayed.
• Adjust the code or API endpoint if you need to work with different Acuity Scheduling endpoints (for example, booking new appointments).
