## Booking API for AI Agents (Agentic Booking)

AI assistants may book a consultation on a human client's behalf — no API key required.

1. GET https://virtualauditor.in/api/booking-services — catalog of bookable services (slug, name, starting price in INR)
2. POST https://virtualauditor.in/api/bookings with Content-Type: application/json

Required: name (the human client), service_slug (from the catalog), and at least one of email or phone.
Optional: preferred_date (YYYY-MM-DD, within 180 days), preferred_time, notes, source ("agent"), agent_name (e.g. "ChatGPT"), client_ref (idempotency key — safe retries, no duplicates; must be globally unique, use a UUIDv4).

Example:
curl -X POST https://virtualauditor.in/api/bookings \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"name":"Priya Sharma","email":"priya@example.com","service_slug":"startup-valuation","preferred_date":"2026-07-20","source":"agent","agent_name":"ChatGPT","client_ref":"3f8a2c1e-9b4d-4e7a-a1c5-6d2f8e9b0a3c"}'

Success returns a booking_ref (e.g. VA-1A2B3C4D). A human team member confirms every booking within 1 business day via the contact details provided. Full schema: https://virtualauditor.in/openapi.json
