The integration problem

Booking trapped
behind a screen.

If the only way to book is by hand in a portal, high-volume customers and partner systems cannot automate. Bookings get re-keyed, and there is no safe way to give a partner limited access.

01

Manual re-keying

Bookings created in one system are typed again into another.

02

No automation

High-volume customers cannot create bookings programmatically.

03

Unsafe access

Sharing a login to integrate gives away far too much.

04

No usage control

There is no way to cap or monitor how much a partner calls.

05

No call record

Without logging, it is hard to see what an integration did.

How the API works

Issue a key,
start integrating.

A REST API with keys you control, scoped to exactly what each integration needs.

  1. 01

    Create a key

    Issue an API key for a customer or partner system.

  2. 02

    Scope the permissions

    Grant only what the key needs, such as create or read.

  3. 03

    Set a daily limit

    Cap how many calls the key can make each day.

  4. 04

    Integrate bookings

    Create, read, update and cancel bookings over REST.

  5. 05

    Handle documents

    Upload and read documents through the API.

  6. 06

    Track usage

    See each key usage against its limit.

  7. 07

    Revoke any time

    Expire or revoke a key whenever you need.
