API V2.0

API Version 2.0

This page explains the capabilities of the API Version 2.0 and explains how to use it. 

2 API Access

To use the API you need to allow API ACCESS. Go to SETTINGS -> ACCOUNT -> ACCOUNT ACCESS and allow API access.

• The JSON functions can be created with a API and prop key which you set yourself in the Beds24 control panel {#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS)ACCOUNT and (SETTINGS) PROPERTIES > ACCESS

4 Scopes

Each category of API endpoint (except /authentication) requires the corrosponding scope to access.

Some categories have additional scopes that allow access to personal or financial information. For example, the "bookings" scope would grant access to a booking's basic information such as the check-in and checkout dates. To access personal information such as the name of a guest, the "bookings-personal" scope would be required. Similarly, to access the invoice of a bookings, the "bookings-financial" scope would be required.

Each scope must also have an acompanying method. For example "get:bookings" would grant read access to bookings, but in order to create a new booking "post:bookings" would be required.

The "all" method may be used as a shortcut to grant access to all methods. For example "all:bookings" would allow for the reading, updating, creating and deleting of bookings.

5 POST method

5.1 Creating/modifying multiple items

All POST endpoints accept an array of items (an item may be a booking, message, property etc).

It is possible to create and modify multiple different items in one request this way.

All existing "POSTable" items will have an "id" field to uniquely identify it.

• To create a new item, just do not include an id.
• To modify an existing item, include its id.
