Create Total Hours booking
Book a total number of hours across a date range and let Resource Guru place them.
POST https://cotlet.dev/api/v1/resource-guru/resources/{resource_id}/total-hours-bookings
write Confirm
Resource Guru fits the hours into free time inside the window. Hours that do not fit go to the waiting list and the response shows the remainder. A Total Hours booking covers one resource and cannot repeat, so use a placeholder for work you will staff later. By default you confirm each call; you can switch that off for this tool.
