Migrating from API v1 to v2

API v1 was shut down on April 8, 2026. All v1 endpoints have been removed. Use this guide to migrate any remaining v1 integrations to API v2.

Why migrate to v2?

The v2 API includes numerous enhancements and new features that are not available in v1:

Performance improvements: Optimized for better performance and scalability
User-friendly response objects: Improved response structure for better developer experience
Enhanced security: Improved security measures to protect your data
New features: Access to new Cal.com features only available in v2
Better error handling: More descriptive error messages and status codes

Authentication changes

In v1, you authenticated using an API key passed as a query parameter:

curl https://api.cal.com/v1/bookings?apiKey=cal_test_xxxxxx

In v2, you authenticate using an API key in the Authorization header:

curl https://api.cal.com/v2/bookings \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer cal_test_xxxxxx" \
  -H "cal-api-version: 2024-08-13"
