Integration Paths

Understanding the Hotel Trader Push API Components

1. Metadata Push and Audit APIs (Mandatory)

All clients must implement these APIs to automate the metadata creation and update process

• Metadata Push API (REST API): Sends metadata such as hotel details, rate plans, room types, cancellation policies, and taxes.
• Metadata Audit API(REST API): Audits the metadata received and processed by the client’s system.

2. Receiving Availability, Rates, and Inventory (Mandatory)

Push clients must implement the PUSH XML schema to receive:

• Availability and inventory (OTA_HotelAvailNotifRQ, OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS)
• Rates (OTA_HotelRatePlanNotifRQ)

3. Price Check

Perform price checks using the GraphQL Quote method before making a reservation to ensure accurate rates and availability.

4. Pushing Reservations

Send reservations upstream and get confirmation which includes the CRS/PMS confirmation codes.
