Developer guide
Sổ Sách Sáng opens the office’s public data to software and assistants: prices, the tax calendar, free consultation times. No API key, no sign-up.
Everything here is public: no sign-up, no API key. Assistants and your own software can read Sổ Sách Sáng’s information, prices, free times, send booking requests and send contact requests once the person agrees.
To see it before writing code: the assistants page calls the tools below for real, in your browser. Prices from the API match the price list.
Quick start
- MCP server:
https://sosachsang.thenexova.cloud/mcp. Paste this address into Claude, ChatGPT, VS Code or Cursor as a custom connector. - List the tools:
curl -s https://sosachsang.thenexova.cloud/mcp \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Accept: application/json, text/event-stream' \ -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list"}' - Or call the HTTP API, for example the first two services:
curl -s 'https://sosachsang.thenexova.cloud/api/offers?limit=2&locale=en' - Request a booking. The answer is 202 with a Location header to follow the status:
curl -s -i -X POST https://sosachsang.thenexova.cloud/api/booking \ -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \ -H 'Idempotency-Key: booking-20261012-01' \ -d '{"date":"2026-10-12","time":"10:00","offerId":"tu-van-30","name":"Alex Tran","phone":"0900000000","consent":"1"}'
API keys and authentication
No key, token or login, so there is nothing to sign up for or manage. Every endpoint is public and anonymous. Writes (contact, booking) need the person’s explicit consent, sent as consent: "1". Details: auth.md.

Errors
Every error under /api is application/problem+json (RFC 9457): type, title, status, detail, plus fields on 422. Messages follow the locale you send.
| Status | Meaning | What to do |
|---|---|---|
400 / 413 | Body is not JSON or form-encoded, too large, or a bad parameter | Fix the request |
403 | Cross-origin form post or failed captcha | Call from the page origin, or use MCP |
404 / 405 | No such endpoint, or wrong method | See openapi.json |
409 | Slot just filled (bookings) | Offer the choices in `alternatives` |
422 | Missing or invalid fields | Read `fields`, ask the person, retry |
429 | Write limit reached | Wait `Retry-After` seconds |
Rate limits and safe retries
Writes (POST /api/lead, POST /api/booking and the MCP tools that call them) allow 5 per hour per IP. Every /api response carries RateLimit-Policy: "writes";q=5;w=3600; write responses add RateLimit: "writes";r=4;t=3600 with what is left. A 429 carries Retry-After. Reads are not limited.
Send an Idempotency-Key (8 to 64 characters) header with POST /api/lead and POST /api/booking. Retrying with the same key and body, for example after a timeout, returns the first reply with Idempotent-Replayed: true instead of a second record.
Test mode (sandbox)
Add ?dry_run=1 to POST /api/lead or POST /api/booking to try an integration against live data with no side effects: the request is validated and availability is checked as usual, but nothing is stored, nobody is notified and it does not count against the limit. The reply has test: true and a booking code starting with TEST-.
curl -s -X POST 'https://sosachsang.thenexova.cloud/api/lead?dry_run=1' \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
-d '{"name":"Test","phone":"0900000000","consent":"1"}'Versioning and deprecation
The API is at version 2.0; every /api response carries API-Version: 2.0, and you can pin the version with the same header. Within 2.x we only add optional fields and new endpoints. A breaking change gets a new major version.
Deprecation policy: nothing is removed silently. When an endpoint or version is scheduled for removal, its responses carry a Deprecation header (RFC 9745) from the day of the decision and a Sunset header (RFC 8594) with the removal date, at least 90 days later. The migration path is written in this section. No endpoint is deprecated today.
