Hotel Price Check API is a step between Shopping and Booking that ensures the price returned in shopping for a chosen product is still applicable just prior to booking.

What is it?

Use this API to verify whether the rate you are seeing is the latest rate sent by our supply source, without having to maintain information at the user’s end. This API is a mandatory step before you can proceed to booking a product.

  • The API accepts only a single input parameter, a rateKey unique to Sabre. This Rate Key is returned in the Get Hotel Availability and/or the Get Hotel Details response.
  • This rateKey is decrypted to find the original availability request with all original parameters, and sent to the correct supply source to fetch the latest rates for the chosen product.
  • The latest rate is compared against the earlier shown rate, and the user is given an accurate value of how much the rate has increased or decrease.
  • The Rate Key returned in Shopping responses does not expire so can be used in the HotelPriceCheck request at any time. The rate itself may have expired, but this will be reflected in the HotelPriceCheck response.

How to use it?

  1. Create an availability request for a hotel using either the Get Hotel Availability API or Get Hotel Details API, and select a product to request HotelPriceCheck for.
  2. From the availability response, take the encrypted rateKey and pass it to the Hotel Price Check request in the payload.
