Channel Manager API — Real-Time Distribution

Channel distribution, delivered as an API.

Plug channel sync into your PMS, booking engine, or internal platform — without owning the integration layer. REST with JSON, or OpenTravel-compliant XML when your stack needs it. No per-channel certification fees. No per-integration setup fees.

Distribution API

Channel distribution you embed into your product

Your system calls our API to push rates, availability, restrictions, and content. We push reservations back — via webhook to your endpoint, or on your polling schedule. Your hotels see your UI. Your finance team sees one predictable monthly fee.

No per-channel certification fees. No per-integration setup fees. No commission. The commercial model matches the engineering model: build once, and every channel we support is included.

Real-time, idempotent

Pushes hit channels in real time. Writes are idempotent — replay any request safely without double-booking or rate corruption.

Webhook + poll

Receive reservations via webhook push to your endpoint, or poll our API on your schedule. Switch between the two without rewriting your integration.

Promotions & campaigns

More than rates and availability. Configure OTA promotions and campaign management through the same API surface that handles ARI.

Integration model

Two spec formats. Your call.

Modern stacks get a REST API with JSON payloads. Legacy GDS and enterprise PMS integrations get OpenTravel-compliant XML. Pick the one your team already runs on — we meet you there, not the other way around.

Both are fully documented. Both hit the same production infrastructure.

Partner With Us

Infrastructure, not a tool

Your customers interact with your product. Our infrastructure runs underneath, invisibly. White-label or bring-your-own UI — either way, the distribution layer is ours to operate.

Managing hundreds of OTA, GDS, and wholesaler connections is a full team’s worth of engineering work. Stop rebuilding it. Ship your product; we’ll run the connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

API key authentication, scoped per partner account. Each call identifies the property the request is acting on, so a single partner credential can manage every hotel customer in your tenant. Full details — including header format, scoping, and rotation — live in the API documentation.

Yes — per-partner ceilings sized for normal distribution traffic with burst tolerance for backfills and reprices. We respond with standard 429 + Retry-After when a ceiling is hit. If your workload needs a higher ceiling (large multi-property catalogs, for example), tell us during the technical call and we’ll provision accordingly.

Book a 30-minute technical call. We walk through the spec, confirm the channels and integration model you need, and provision sandbox credentials — typically within 24 hours of the call. The sandbox runs against real endpoints, not a toy environment.

The API is versioned in the path (/v1/). Breaking changes get a new major version with a deprecation window measured in quarters, not weeks — so you have time to migrate. New OTAs and capabilities ship as additive endpoints on the current version, no migration required to pick them up.

No. No per-channel certification fees. No per-integration setup fees. The integration time investment is on your side; on ours, you pay the regular monthly subscription. Every channel we support is included in your plan.
