About MZ Mindbody API
From the official readme · v2.10.11Description

Why am I getting “Permission denied” and “Invalid Argument” errors?

Frequently asked questions
One of the elements I need to fill out are the *Event IDs*. Can you help me learn where to find those?
I’m not sure if there’s an easier way, but you can find them by, within MindBody, going to an Event EDIT page and viewing the source of the Dropdown menu items, which contain the name of each event type and it’s associated ID number.
