What is it?

The Get Hotel Availability API provides multiple location resolution methods (or a specific property search) for a specific stay period and occupancy. It has multiple advanced search filter options based on property/image content and enables customization of the availability response. It returns up to 200 hotels per page, sorted on one of three user-selectable criteria: Rate, Distance, and Rating.

Why use it?

Use this API to see an orchestrated response that includes a list of properties with their leading image, static content (such as amenities offered and location information), and the lowest rate available for each property through multiple channels.

How does it work?

  1. Hotels falling within a user's search location are retrieved using the Geo Search API.
  2. User requested filters, such as Rating, are applied to the list of hotels.
  3. Static information, a default image, and the lowest rate for each source, is then fetched for the filtered list of hotels.
  4. The Get Hotel Availability SOAP API then orchestrates all this information in its response.

This orchestrated API can be used in multiple ways and includes multiple search parameters and filters. 

How do I use it?

Search for hotels in a general location using any of the following location formats: ​​​​

  • Latitude and Longitude
  • Address of the location
  • Airport Codes
  • Nearest point(s) of interest
  • If you already know the HotelCodes you want to shop, you can also input these directly.

Decide on filtering criteria: 

  1. Decide on filtering criteria if you wish to apply any filters to the response.
  2. Specify the stay period and occupancy.
  3. With all required parameters complete, make a call to GetHotelAvailRQ.

The response will include a unique rate code for each rate, which can be used to book that rate. 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.

Important! The rate code has to be referenced in the Hotel Price Check API.
