This page is about the menu SETTINGS->ACCOUNT->ACCOUNT ACCESS

Here you can change/set up:

  • Password
  • Administrator Email
  • API Access

With our API you can access your account from an external source.

There are three different types of API functions - CSV, XML and JSON. They require different methods of authorization:

  • CSV
Your Beds24 account user name and password
  • XML
Your Beds24 account user name and password
  • JSON
You need two special keys - one for the API itself and one for the property. The keys have to consist of 16 characters of your choosing.
API key:
Settings > Account > Account Access > API Key 1:
API Key = my_very_secret_api_key
API Key Access = allow any IP
IP Whitelist = [leave empty]
Allow Writes = Yes
Property Access = Owned by this account only
Property key:
Settings > Properties > Access > propKey = secret_key_for_prop_XXXXXX

This will be used as the password for XML and CSV API functions so you do not need to disclose your account password. XML and CSV API functions use the account username and password or APIkey for authorization.

You need two keys to use our API - one for the API itself and one for the property. The keys have to consist of 16 characters of your choosing.
API key:
Settings > Account > Account Access > API Key 1:
API Key = my_very_secret_api_key API Key Access = allow any IP IP Whitelist = [leave empty] Allow Writes = Yes Property Access = Owned by this account only
Property key:
Settings > Properties > Access > propKey = secret_key_for_prop_XXXXXX
