==Getting Data from SimplyBook Server==
A booking page usually is a page where clients choose service they need, an employee and a time of their meeting. Then a client enters some contact info and confirms the booking. The more complex solutions may include filling different additional fields, making some group or multy-times booking and so on. Lets describe the workflow of creation the simpliest booking page. Then if you need to add some extra functionality to your page, see here the full list of Simplybook API methods.

==USING OF API SECRET KEY==
==Using of API Secret Key==
In some cases the book method may require the confirmation, e.g. if your accept payments from clients you confirm booking only after the payment is already came. The Simplybook API confirmBookng method takes booking-id and secure signature as params (another method which requires secure signature is cancelBookng). For the secure signature generation your secret API-key should be used. See how it can be done in the example below. You can find the secret key at admin interface under 'Settings' link of API plugin in 'Plugins' list.
