# Open booking API for travel partners

Let agents and partners search and book you directly through a secure API.

**In short:** A five-endpoint REST booking API with scoped credentials, group holds, signed webhooks, idempotent retries and Swagger docs — let partners book you directly.

Updated September 2026

## What Partner API does

- **Five-endpoint booking API** — search availability, price, book, look up and cancel.
- **Scoped credentials** — search-only or booking-capable, issued by the hotel and limited to one property.
- **Amendments and group holds** — change bookings via API and book out of an agreed group hold.
- **Multi-room-type bookings** — several room types in one partner booking.
- **Webhooks** — booking.cancelled and booking.amended events, signed and retried until delivered.
- **Idempotency** — a retried request never creates a second booking.
- **Interactive documentation** — Swagger UI for partners, and a management screen for the hotel.

## Partner API: common questions

### What can partners do with the bedsKey API?

Search availability, price, book, look up and cancel — plus amendments, multi-room-type bookings and booking out of an agreed group hold.

### How is the partner API secured?

Credentials are issued by the hotel, scoped to search-only or booking-capable, and limited to one property. Webhooks are signed.

### Can a retried API request create a duplicate booking?

No. Requests are idempotent, so a retried request never creates a second booking.
