Connect Access System with API
This page explains how to connect a system which needs upcoming bookings via API
Introduction
This API will allow you to read upcoming bookings for a property and to write or modify Booking Info Items in those bookings.
For example, a door access system could read details of upcoming bookings and store a door unlock code in each booking so the code can be communicated to the guest.
API setup
Contact Beds24 for a merchant Key for the Arrivals API
Each property can generate an access Key at the menu {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) Apps & Integrations > Arrivals "Access Key'
With the merchant key and the access key the following functions can be called on the property.
Only data from room types that have their synchronise tick box enabled will be included.
