''This page explains how to connect a PMS to the Beds24 API for Channel Management''

== API setup ==

Create an API Key for your Beds24 account at Settings > Account > Account Access

For extra security also whitelabel your IP address to prevent access from unauthorized IP addresses.

Access to most API functions will require the API Key and the PROP Key for the property being accessed.

There are usage limits on the API so design your system to avoid unnecessary and minimize the frequency of API calls.

The JSON API functions are recommended https://api.beds24.com

== Create Properties ==

Use JSON createProperties to create properties and their rooms via API.

Set a PROP Key for the property when creating it so it can be accessed later via API.

Once created, the property and it's rooms can be modified with JSON modifyProperty

Descriptive content can optionally be added to a property and it's rooms with JSON setPropertyContent

== Setup Price and Channel Mapping ==

Prices are defined in up to 16 daily price rows per room type.

Each row can be defined with an occupancy and minimum stay and sent to any combination of channels.

This means for each date can have up to 16 different prices for combinations of occupancy, minimum stay and channel.

Use JSON setDailyPriceSetup to create the daily price rows and map them to channels, including any rate codes.

== Send Price and Availability ==

Price and availability can be set per room type with JSON setRoomDates

For each date, up to 16 prices, the number of rooms available, minimum stay (room level), maximum stay (room level) and check-in check-out restrictions can be sent.

== Bookings ==

There is no need to send bookings to Beds24, it is better to manage inventory by setting number of rooms available with JSON setRoomDates

Bookings from channels will import into Beds24 and automatically reduce the available inventory.

The Bookings should be left in Beds24 so modification/cancellation can be accepted.

Make sure to adjust your inventory levels to account for the channel booking in Beds24.

== Booking Notification ==

When a booking is created, modified or cancelled by a channel, we will send a notification push to a URL specified by you.

The notify push will contain the booking number of the affected booking, you can use this to read the full details of the booking.

The notify push expects an HTTP 200 response and will retry after a delay if this is not received.

== Booking Detail ==

Booking can be read with JSON getBookings by specifying the booking number from the notify push.

We recommend periodically polling JSON getBookings (circa once per 30 minutes should be adequate) specifying the modifiedSince time as the time a few seconds before your last poll.

This will allow you to check for any bookings which are new or modified where the notify push was missed.

== Booking Modification ==

If a booking is modified by a channel, you will receive a notify push and you can read the new booking detail.

It is up to your system to compare the new booking detail with the original and determine what actually changed.

== Questionnaire ==

So we can best support you and if desired promote your system, please send us the answer to these questions.

1) What is your Beds24 account number?

2) What is the name of your system?

3) Main contact person at your system for technical issues?

4) Number of properties you intend to connect?

5) Names of the API functions you are using and estimated number of unique calls per hour?

6) Do you want to be listed as a Beds24 partner and promoted by us?

7) Unique function or selling point to promote your system?
