Can I pull hotel room rates and availability through the API so I can compare prices across different properties before my customer books?

Yes, you can search for hotel availability and rates through the hotel booking API, and you can run those searches across multiple properties at the same time to compare what is available and what each one costs. This lets you see the full picture of options in a destination or area without your customer having to search each hotel individually. You can then present the best matches to them based on price, location, room type or any other factor that matters to your business.

The API will show you current rates and which rooms are in stock on the dates your customer needs. Keep in mind that hotel rates and availability change constantly, so what you see through the API right now might be different an hour from now. The supplier controls what information comes back, so if a hotel does not provide certain details through their connection to our system, you will not see those details either.

This feature works best when you search for a specific destination and date range rather than browsing one hotel at a time. You can then filter the results to show only the properties and room types that fit your criteria or your profit margins. The comparison happens on your end, so you stay in control of which options to offer your customers and which ones to hold back.

Try running a test search through the API with a few different destinations and date ranges to see how the results look and what details come back for each property. This will help you understand how to present the options to your customers in the clearest way.
