Search

If the search is coming from a known guest ID, the guest level is also returned along with the pricing that's appropriate for the guest level.

If it is a new user, the guest ID will be generated at the time of the first confirmed booking.

const checkin = "2023-07-15";
const checkout = "2023-07-16";
const currency = "USD";
const guestNationality = "US";
const hotelIdsList = ["lp3803c", "lp1f982", "lp19b70", "lp19e75"];
const adults = 2;
//Optional values
const childrenAges = [2,3];
const result = await sdk.getMinimumRates(checkin, checkout, currency, guestNationality, hotelIdsList, adults,childrenAges);

hotel full rates availability

The Full Rates API is to search and return all available rooms along with its rates, cancellation policies for a list of hotel ID's based on the search dates.

const currency = "USD";
const guestNationality = "US";
const hotelIdsList = ["lp3803c", "lp1f982", "lp19b70", "lp19e75"];
const adults = 2;
//Optional values
const childrenAges = [2,3];
const result = await sdk.getFullRates(checkin, checkout, currency, guestNationality, hotelIdsList, adults,childrenAges);

Pre-book

This API is used to confirm if the room and rates for the search criterion. The input to the endpoint is a specific rate Id coming from the GET hotel full rates availability API.

In response, the API generates a prebook Id, a new rate Id and contains information if price, cancellation policy or boarding information has changed.

const rateId = "NRYDCZRZHAZHYMRQGIZS2MJRFUYTK7BS";
const result = await sdk.preBook(rateId)

Confirm booking

This API confirms a booking when the prebook Id and the rate Id from the pre book stage along with the guest and payment information are passed.

The guest information is an object that should include the guest first name, last name and email.

const paymentInfo = { "card_number": "4242424242424242", "exp_month": 11, exp_year: "23", "cvc": 123 }
const result = await sdk.book(prebookID, guestInfo, paymentMethod, holderName, paymentInfo)

This API is used to request a cancellation of an existing confirmed booking. Cancellation policies and conditions will be used to determine the success of the cancellation. For example a booking with non-refundable (NRFN) tag or a booking with a cancellation policy that was requested past the cancellation date will not be able to cancel the confirmed booking.
