Welcome to the Hub API

The Hub API is a REST API built with Spring Boot that powers the padel booking and match management platform. This API enables you to manage venues, resources, bookings, matches, and user profiles.

​
Base URL

All API requests should be made to: 
https://api.yourdomain.com
For local development: 
http://localhost:8080

​
API Architecture

The Hub API follows these architectural principles:
  • REST principles: Resource-based URLs and standard HTTP methods
  • Spring Boot 3.5: Built on the latest Spring Boot framework
  • OAuth2 Resource Server: Secured with Auth0 JWT tokens
  • Domain-Driven Design: Organized into bounded contexts (booking, matching, venue, IAM)
  • Problem Details (RFC 7807): Standardized error responses

​
Core Modules

The API is organized into the following modules:

Venues

Manage padel venues, including creation, updates, and image management

Resources

Handle padel courts and other bookable resources within venues

Bookings

Create and manage court bookings with payment processing

Matches

Organize and join padel matches with team management

User Profiles

Manage user profiles and preferences

Media

Upload and manage images via Cloudinary integration

​
Making Your First Request

Here’s a simple example to get started. This request retrieves all active venues: 
curl -X GET https://api.yourdomain.com/api/venues \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_ACCESS_TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json"
