AnchorIntroduction

This document provides instructions on using our OTA API to work with Newbook.

As with all our documentation, a basic understanding of what Newbook is and how our clients operate will help understand these requests and responses.

Please note that any examples below should not be used on your development servers. These are only examples and do not work.

AnchorWhat is the OTA Specification

The Open Travel Alliance was founded to enable rapid and extensive exchange of data between systems. By detailing specific requests and their responses, many different systems can exchange data in a standardised way.

The OTA Specification covers the many industries, solutions providers, and technology companies. It is a growing standard with a large established base of users.

The exchange of data between 3rd Party Applications (booking websites and other services), Channel Managers (services which facilitate rapid updates of availability and pricing and booking data between many booking websites), and property management systems like Newbook necessitates all agents 'speak the same language'.

The implementation Newbook offers focuses on the requests and responses relevant to the accommodation industry. Through supporting the OTA Specification, we enable our clients to quickly and easily link up with 3rd Party Applications and Channel Managers. To this end, clients of Newbook are open to the exchange of availability, rate and booking data.

AnchorIntegration with 3rd Party Applications

It is a requirement to use HTTPS to communicate with this API, for both testing and real live use. Your XML request must be sent via HTTP POST.

Live Endpoints:

Australia: https://apiau.newbook.cloud/ota

Asia Pacific: https://apiap.newbook.cloud/ota

Europe: https://apieu.newbook.cloud/ota

United States: https://apius.newbook.cloud/ota

Test Endpoint:

Staging (development): https://testapi.newbook.cloud/ota

Please contact Newbook Support if you are unsure about which endpoint to use.

AnchorAuthentication

This API requires that all inbound requests have authentication.

Newbook utilises the Oasis WSSE Authentication method.

All 3rd Party Applications will need to register with Newbook for a username and password.

Newbook will also provide a unique instance_token for each instance connected to the 3rd Party Application.

AnchorHandling Error Responses

In the case of an error Newbook and the 3rd Party Application will respond with XML structured as show in the example.

AnchorPing Connection Test Request / Ping Response (OTA_PingRQ/RS)

Used as Reference:

http://adriatic.pilotfish-net.com/ota-modelviewer/model/Format.OTA_PingRQ.html

http://adriatic.pilotfish-net.com/ota-modelviewer/model/Format.OTA_PingRS.html

The Ping request / response OTA Messages are used for testing application connectivity, specifically, sending text from a requesting system and determining if the responding system is able to echo back that same text.

The message assumes a push model, with Newbook or the 3rd Party Application pushing the request to the other.

The response from Newbook or the 3rd Party Application verifies application connectivity. Specific text sent with the request is to be echoed back in the response.

Direction of Message

  • Newbook will send OTA_PingRQ
  • The 3rd Party Application will reply with OTA_PingRS

Or:

  • The 3rd Party Application will send OTA_PingRQ
  • Newbook will reply with OTA_PingRS

http://adriatic.pilotfish-net.com/ota-modelviewer/model/Format.OTA_HotelAvailRQ.html

http://adriatic.pilotfish-net.com/ota-modelviewer/model/Format.OTA_HotelAvailRS.html

The Single Booking Availability Request / Response OTA Messages are used for retrieving availability and rates for a single bookable date range instead of returning daily Availability/Pricing. This is useful for ensuring that the entire date range is available in a single Room (as multiple RoomStays will be returned if the Booking needs to be split, or when requesting multiple Rate Plans / Rooms).

The message assumes a pull model, with the 3rd Party Application initiating the request to Newbook.

The response from Newbook will include the availability for the specified period and Room Code/s.

Direction of Message

  • The 3rd Party Application will send OTA_HotelAvailRQ
  • Newbook will reply with OTA_HotelAvailRS

The response from Newbook is the full Booking information, based on the search parameters provided.

Verification Options

You may provide a Booking ID (Newbook-sourced, or your platform-sourced) for a specific lookup:

								
									
										<HotelReservationIDs>
											<HotelReservationID ResID_Type="14" ResID_Source="Newbook" ResID_Value="865" />
										</HotelReservationIDs>

Alternatively you may provide a details for a Guest - all of the below examples are independently optional:

AnchorAvailability Request / Response (OTA_HotelAvailNotifRQ/RS)

Newbook will only generate this request when the 3rd Party Application is registered with our platform, and has submitted an ARI Settings Request. Please contact Newbook Support if you would like to explore this option.

Used as Reference:

The Availability Push OTA Messages are used for Newbook to provide availability information to a 3rd Party. The message assumes a push model.

Availability data can be delivered at a Category level (industry & Newbook default) or per Site (Room) in each Category.
The primary use case of Site-level Availability is for 3rd Party Applications to offer Sites which fit equipment (a vehicle) of a fixed size. This information can be queried from Newbook using the Instance Information request.
When Site-level Availability is enabled, each StatusApplicationControl element will gain an extra attribute for RoomID: 

								
									<StatusApplicationControl Start="2017-09-11" End="2017-09-12" InvTypeCode="studiovilla" RoomID="1" />

The parent AvailStatusMessage@BookingLimit will only ever be 1 or 0 indicating if the specific Site is available or occupied (unavailable).
Please contact Newbook Support if you need Site-level Availability delivered to your 3rd Party Application.

Direction of Message

  • Newbook will send OTA_HotelNotifRQ
  • The 3rd Party Application will reply with OTA_HotelAvailNotifRS


Request Usage Profile

Node Count Description
AvailStatusMessages@HotelCode 1 The Instance Code as defined by Newbook
AvailStatusMessage@BookingLimit 1 Number of Rooms available
StatusApplicationControl@Start 1 The start of the date range for the current availability element, in the format YYYY-MM-DD

StatusApplicationControl@RatePlanCode 1 The Rate Code for the current availability element

The RoomID identifies the specific Site (room) in the property database, which allows 3rd Party Applications to sell specific Sites.
This is the same RoomID as returned in the Instance Information request.
RestrictionStatus@Status 1 Controls the Stop Sell for the current availability element, can be either "Open" or "Close"
LengthOfStay@MinMaxMessageType 1 "SetMinLOS" for minimum length of stay, or "SetMaxLOS" for maximum length of stay
