Restaurant table booking

Hello. How do you book a table at a restaurant through the API?

Currently im using the bookings API for testing, and in it, there’s the search_availability endpoint which returns the available slots. But it requires service_variation_id in the segment_filters. Should i be creating services in Appointments (in the sandbox for now) and naming them as table for 2 or table for 4 and so on? And then using the catalog API to get their respective service_variation_id?

Or is there a specific restaurant reservations API that handles table bookings?

Thank you.
