== 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.
== API setup ==


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.
Each property can generate an access Key at the menu '''Settings  >  Apps & Integrations  > Arrivals'''


With the merchant key and property access key the following functions can be called.


== Booking Detail ==


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


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.
api.beds24.com/arrivals/getBookings


This will allow you to check for any bookings which are new or modified where the notify push was missed.
This function will return all upcoming arrivals in the property as a JSON array.


The number of days in advance of check-in date that bookings are available is set at the menu '''Settings  >  Apps & Integrations  > Arrivals > Days in Advance'''


== 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.
