APIs or Application Programming Interfaces have become part of business vocabulary across all spectrums of **e-commerce**. At the most basic level, an API acts as a door into a software program, allowing it to interact with other programs without the need for the developer to share its entire code. Small businesses have much to gain from understanding and implementing APIs in their e-commerce sites.

> Spurwing API is a secure and feature-rich, accessible platform for **building integrations** using their open-source widgets or even creating your own from scratch. Spurwing offers robust functionality via their SDKs (Software Development Kits), leaving you free of worrying about **time zones**, **data storage**, server **traffic scaling** and **reminders**. 

Spurwing’s API makes scheduling a hassle-free and streamlined process for small businesses to add robust scheduling and booking to their application. Spurwing Powers millions of appointment bookings for thousands of satisfied companies, and their services range from **marketplaces** to **SaaS** and **healthcare**.

## Benefits of Spurwing Scheduled API to Small Businesses

There are countless benefits to **calendar management** and **appointment scheduling** that can be folded into different software setups and applications to aid small business owners. No matter what scale of business you run, you depend on appointment scheduling software. Spurwing enables business owners to streamline better and **customize the client experience**.

## Scheduling Solutions Tailored to your Business

Many e-commerce sites do not harness the benefits of scheduling software with specificity in their application. Customization enhances your client experience, and Spurwing’s tailormade scheduling solutions make it more convenient for clients, cuts down on wasted time and resources, and reduces divergence from your daily schedule.

For example:

- In the case of a hair salon, Spurwing allows customers to book their appointments according to their particular treatments. 

- In the doctor’s office, customization offers the patient bookings based on their specific appointment type, such as “bloodwork appointment” or a “new patient appointment.”
