I don't see how to block out dates for people

I have looked through the docs, and I don't see anything on how I can list the dates that a person said they were unavailable on. Or how to mark a date for a person to say they are unavailable to be scheduled.

Second, I don't see how to schedule someone through the API for the calendar.

We are trying to automate scheduling for Sunday morning worship. We need to know if this is going to work or not.

Unless I am missing something, it looks like this is not going to work and we may need to move on and try another service.

Hi @sethmknorr,

It sounds like you might be looking for Services' Blockout endpoint:
https://developer.planning.center/docs/#/apps/services/2018-11-01/vertices/blockout

While I can't speak specifically about whether or not your idea will work, I do want to mention that in addition to the docs, our API Explorer can be a great way to get your bearings while exploring live data. Also, there's an #api channel in our Slack User Community full of helpful folks building things using our API, which can be a great place to ask questions and get some feedback.
