We currently do not recommend you to use this option any longer, since you can integrate directly with us through the Marketplace which will be through our API v2. Please contact our support team through the ticket system if you want to create a connection with your channel and Beds24.

OTA

This page is about the menu  (SETTINGS) CHANNEL MANAGER > OTA CHANNEL

The OTA channel is a generic channel in the channel manager menu.

OTA's can make a connection to the OTA channel and users can easily enable and manage access to their properties.

https://api.beds24.com/ota/OTA_HotelAvail - OTA_HotelAvail can be used to periodically read OTA price and availability for storing in the OTA system.

https://api.beds24.com/ota/JSON_HotelAvail - JSON_HotelAvail is similar to OTA_HotelAvail but uses a JSON data format.

https://api.beds24.com/ota/OTA_HotelRes - OTA_HotelRes can be used to create a booking in Beds24.

The HotelAvail functions are designed for occasional polling and storing the data in the OTA for use. They are not suitable for live requests from a booking page.

https://api.beds24.com/json/getAvailabilities - JSON getAvailabilities can be used after collecting booking dates and room etc. from a guest to make a last minute live check of availability and price before confirming a booking in the OTA.

Webhooks can be setup at the menu (SETTINGS) MARKETPLACE > Webhooks to notify the OTA when inventory for a room type has changed. This can be used to make polls to HotelAvail for updated data in a timely and efficient manner.
