Entervista

Find businesses in the network by what the customer needs (e.g. 'plumber', 'smoothie', 'clogged sink'), optionally filtered by category, zip, location and open-now. Returns summaries with starting prices and whether they serve the zip.

Full agent-readable profile: verified identity and license, services with real prices (what's included / excluded), hours, service zips, delivery rules, policies, and exactly how to act (order, quote, or book).

The business's services with pricing mode (fixed | starting_at | range | diagnostic_fee_then_quote | quote_required), price, what's included/excluded, and which intake fields are required.

Deterministic yes/no: does this business come to the customer's zip? Returns reason, the zips it serves, excluded zips, and alternative businesses when no.

Before creating a request: the exact questions to ask the customer for this service (required_fields / optional_fields, each with type and options), the pricing flow, and what happens next.

One call for any trade job (repair, quote, booking). Pass service_sku (or a plain description and it matches one), intake_answers keyed by the field ids from get_service_requirements, customer (name, phone, address with line1+zip), preferred_time, and slot_start only when the service flow asks for one. For an unchanged retry after receiving a receipt, include retry_ref and its customer_token with the original details. For quote-first requests without a slot, optionally generate and securely save intent_capability before the first submission; explicitly repeat the same business/details/capability to recover a lost first receipt. Do not silently resubmit. Without either capability this creates a separate request, even if the phone matches. A quote_required request is sent to the business without a price; a priced booking draft waits for the customer's approval. Follow the returned next_step, and never call a request booked until the business confirms.

Stores an image and returns a URL to pass in photos[] of place_service_request. Some services require a photo (get_service_requirements says which).

Live bookable windows over the next days, from the business's own schedule (hours, crew, jobs, holds, blocks). Pass service_sku to get windows sized for that service's duration and crew, plus: operating_state (open | closed | open_fully_booked | emergency_only | temporarily_unavailable | booking_future | unknown), confidence (verified | stale, with a note when not verified recently), earliest, the service's price and whether it auto-books or needs the owner. Use a slot's start with place_service_request or book_slot; the slot is held the moment the draft is created.

Draft an order (food/retail). Returns line items, total, a ref and a customer_token. Nothing reaches the business until approve_request. Ask the customer to confirm the total first.

Ask a service business (plumber, etc.) for a price. Describe the problem in plain English. Many businesses answer instantly with an estimate and bookable slots; others reply within their stated response time (poll get_request_status).

Book a flat-rate service (e.g. drain cleaning) into a slot from get_availability. Returns a draft awaiting the customer's approval.

Use only after the customer explicitly approves the total / quote / final price. Sends it to the business. When offered_slots is present, pass the customer's chosen slot_start. If the business takes online payment, the result is status awaiting_payment with a payment_url: give that link to the customer; they pay on that page themselves.

Current status, ETA / arrival window, business response, and the next step. Poll this while waiting on a business.

Cancel an order, quote or booking on the customer's behalf.
