This endpoint will place a temporary hold on the requested time slot so that the partner can request all the required reservation information from the user. Holds are only valid for 5 minutes and you must use the hold id returned from this endpoint to place the reservation or you will get a conflict.
Note: All parameters being sent into the holds endpoint needs to be sent as form data inside of the request body. They will not work as query parameters.
