Connect Access System with API

This page explains how to connect a system which needs upcoming bookings via API

1 Introduction

This API will allow you to read upcoming bookings for a property and to write or modify Booking Info Items in those bookings.

For example, a door access system could read details of upcoming bookings and store a door unlock code in each booking so the code can be communicated to the guest.

2 API setup

Contact Beds24 for a merchant Key for the Arrivals API

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

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

Only data from room types that have their synchronise tick box enabled will be included.

3 Get Bookings

https://api.beds24.com/arrivals/getBookings

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

Personal information like name, email etc. can be included in the data at the menu Settings > Apps & Integrations > Arrivals > Allow Personal Info

This function is suitable to call once per hour per property.

4 Set Booking

https://api.beds24.com/arrivals/setBooking
