A Hotel Booking API (Application Programming Interface) is a set of web services that allow travel agencies, online travel agencies (OTAs), and other businesses to access and integrate hotel data from multiple suppliers into their own booking platforms.
Hotel API helps hotel suppliers sell their hotel inventory to OTAs in bulk. OTAs can pull all inventory from individual suppliers with the help of the hotel API. ZentrumHub has a universal, AI-enabled, and most stable hotel API that is connected with 75+ hotel suppliers and 50+ OTAs, enabling them to consume that inventory and sell it via B2B and B2C websites.
How Does a Hotel Booking API Work?
Hotel Booking APIs work by connecting the booking platform of a travel agency or OTA with various hotel suppliers, such as bedbanks, global distribution systems (GDS), and online travel agencies (OTAs). Below is a step-by-step overview.
How it WorkS?
-
Request
When a user searches for hotels on a travel booking platform, a request is sent to the API. This request typically includes the user’s search criteria such as destination, check-in and check-out dates, number of guests, room preferences, and other specific filters like amenities or price range.
-
Processing
The API processes this request and sends it to multiple hotel suppliers. These suppliers can include global distribution systems (GDS), bedbanks, online travel agencies (OTAs), and direct hotel connections. The API ensures that the request format is compatible with each supplier's system, enabling efficient communication and data retrieval.
-
Response
Each supplier responds with available hotel options, rates, and other relevant details. The response includes information about room availability, pricing, hotel amenities, photos, location, cancellation policies, and user reviews. This step involves retrieving up-to-date data to provide accurate and competitive options for the user.
-
Aggregation
Here, the API collects various responses from different suppliers into a unified format. This involves normalizing data from diverse sources to ensure consistency in how hotel options are presented. The API also eliminates duplicates and consolidates similar offers to streamline the selection process for the user.
-
Display
The booking platform displays the aggregated results to the user, allowing them to compare and choose from various options. Users can sort and filter results based on their preferences, such as price, star rating, distance from a landmark, and guest reviews. This interface is designed to be user-friendly, making it easy for users to find the best deal that suits their needs.
-
Booking
When a user selects a hotel, the booking request is sent through the API to the appropriate supplier for confirmation. This request includes the user's details, payment information, and any special requests. The API ensures that the booking information is accurately transmitted to the supplier's system to secure the reservation.
-
Confirmation
The supplier confirms the booking, and the API relays this confirmation back to the booking platform and the user. The confirmation includes a booking reference number, hotel details, and any additional information the user needs for their stay. The booking platform then sends a confirmation email or message to the user, ensuring they have all the necessary details for their upcoming trip.
