Introduction
This document provides instructions on using our REST 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.
The NewBook REST API currently implements throttling after 100 requests per minute. Requests beyond this limit are denied.
Release Notes
Authentication
To use the NewBook REST API you must authenticate via HTTP Basic Authentication using a username and password.
These details will be provided to you along with this document.
You must also supply an API Key with each JSON request to specify which NewBook Instance you are querying.
You must use HTTPS to communicate with the NewBook REST API, for both testing and real live use.
Your JSON request must be sent via POST.
Please contact NewBook Support if you are unsure about which endpoint or region to use.
URL: https://api.newbook.cloud/rest
Region Options:URL: https://testapi.newbook.cloud/rest
Region Options:Building an example Request
In this example we will build an Authentication Test Request using the Test Endpoint.
HTTP Method: POST
HTTP Basic Auth Username: [as provided]
HTTP Basic Auth Password: [as provided]
URL: https://testapi.newbook.cloud/rest (see Authentication for alternate URLs]
POST data: [see right hand side Request JSON]
request_action must be provided to tell the REST API which action to execute. For this example we will use auth_test.
region must be provided to tell the REST API the NewBook Region of the Client you're trying to connect to. See Authentication for alternate regions.
Handling Errors
If a request has an error (missing parameters, invalid requests, server errors, etc.) a response with success set to "false" will be returned.
Handling Paginated Lists
The majority of our *_list requests are paginated, to minimize server load and ensure a timely response.
Requests default to showing results from 0 (data_offset), and limits results to the first 100 (data_limit).
Further, the response indicates how many results are currently being returned (data_count), and how many results there are in total (data_total).
Using data_offset, data_limit, and data_total you will be able to paginate through the results.
You can increase data_limit to a maximum of 1000. Anything over this value will be capped at 1000.
You can request data_limit higher than data_total however data_count will still be the number of results returned.
API Keys Request
Return a list of API Keys (NewBook Instances) which your username & password can connect with.
Authentication Test Request
Verify the username, password, and API Key in your possession work as expected.
Bookings: List
Retrieve a list of Bookings within the given time period.
The only required fields are period_from, period_to and list_type - the rest are optional
If guest_id is provided it will limit results to an individual Guest
| list_type | Shows Bookings which: |
|---|---|
| arrived1 | have Arrived during the specified dates Optional parameter mode with value projected changes the behaviour to what should have Arrived |
| arriving2 | are expected to Arrive during the specified dates |
| cancelled3 | have been Cancelled during the specified dates |
| departed1 | have Departed during the specified dates |
| departing4 | are expected to Depart during the specified dates |
| inhouse4 | are currently In-House (dates not required) |
| placed2 | were placed during the specified dates |
| staying2 | are expected to stay during the specified dates |
| no_show | have been marked as No Show and were meant to arrive during the specified dates |
restrict_mail_outs controls whether to return Guests which have opted to be contacted "automatically" i.e. by systems not expressly related to their specific booking (aka marketing opt-in). In NewBook, this is enabled on all Guests by default unless the Instance decides to disable it by default. If you send 1, i.e. only return Guests who allow contact "automatically", and the Guest has already opted-out, the booking data in the return response will still be present but the Guests array will be empty.
booking_reason, booking_source, booking_method and booking_demographic are allowed to be integers or arrays of integers. They all correspond to values specific to the Instance - you need to determine the values you want before trying to query for matching bookings.
search is optional and when provided it will restrict the results to the matching Guests. It will search their name, contact details (phone, email, etc) and membership details for a match
The Guests array returned may contain more than one entry for multi-Guest Bookings - you can determine the main Guest as indicated by the primary_client field
If the Bookings: List request has account_breakdown as true this will also affect the Guests array returned
The default_client_account_id field in the Booking array can be used to charge to the Booking Client Account, this may be different from the account_id where the Booking is part of a Group and the Guests are not paying individually
The inventory_item field holds all the Inventory Items on the Booking.
title can be any string; NewBook does not restrict users to specific titles for Guests
contact_details
Bookings: Get Details
Retrieve the details of a single Booking.
booking_id must be provided to retrieve the Booking.
Send account_breakdown as true to see the balance of each associated Sub Client Account (gl_category)
The returned data from this request is identical to Bookings: List but for the specific Booking alone.
If no such Booking ID exists, the success response parameter will be "false" and no data will be returned.
Bookings: Retrieve Current in Site
Check a particular Site to see if a Guest is currently In-House
site_id or site_name must be provided. If you use site_name it must match character for character.
The returned data from this request is identical to Bookings: List but for the specific Booking alone.
If no such Site exists, the success response parameter will be "false" and no data will be returned.
Bookings: Pull Availability & Pricing
Retrieve a list of Categories with the number of Sites available and the calculated tariff (cost) for bookings.
A URL is returned to see the same results via NewBook Online if required.
You can also provide children, infants and animals as numeric parameters (like the adults parameter).
You can also provide site_id, category_id and category_type_id parameters.
You can also provide length and width parameters to find Sites with matching sizes.
Providing any of the above restricts the results returned.
To see additional information in the response, you can provide daily_mode as "true". When this is done, each object in the tariffs_available array in the response will gain a new key tariffs_quoted, which is an object for each day requested detailing specifics about the price for that day.
"2020-10-26": {
"label": "Special",
"type_id": "8",
"tariff_id": "45",
"stop_sell": "0",
"minimum_periods": "7",
"maximum_periods": "0",
"base_min_combined": "1",
"base_max_combined": "7",
"tariffs_period_id": "19",
"tariff_applied_id": "480",
"original_amount": "112.85",
"calculated_amount": "112.85",
"base_adult": 0,
"base_child": 0,
"base_infant": 0,
"base_animal": 0,
"base_combined": "2",
"base_day_based": "1",
"additionals_day_based": "0",
"reset_night_counter": "1",
"min_days_in_advance": "0",
"max_days_in_advance": "0",
"stop_sell_occupancy_percentage": "0",
"amount": "112.85",
"dynamic_base": null,
"extras_combined": "1",
"special_deal": "0",
"dynamic": 0,
"overridden": "standard",
"close_arrival": 0,
"close_departure": 0
}
In addition, when daily_mode is provided as "true" the sites_available, sites_message, sites_code, and sites_extra_info keys in the response change from a single value into an object with a key/value for each day requested:
"sites_available": {
"2020-10-26": 6,
"2020-10-27": 3,
"2020-10-28": 2,
"2020-10-29": 6,
"2020-10-30": 7,
"2020-10-31": 6
},
"sites_message": {
"2020-10-26": "Minimum Advance Days has not been met, so there are no Sites available",
"2020-10-27": "Minimum Advance Days has not been met, so there are no Sites available",
"2020-10-28": "Minimum Advance Days has not been met, so there are no Sites available",
"2020-10-29": "",
"2020-10-30": "",
"2020-10-31": ""
}
"sites_code": {
"2020-10-26": 8,
"2020-10-27": 8,
"2020-10-28": 8,
"2020-10-29": 0,
"2020-10-30": 0,
"2020-10-31": 0
}
"sites_extra_info": {
"2020-10-26": "3",
"2020-10-27": "3",
"2020-10-28": "3",
"2020-10-29": "",
"2020-10-30": "",
"2020-10-31": ""
}
Another parameter you can provide is return_sites which when "true" changes sites_available in the response from just a number to an array of objects detailing the available Sites:
"sites_available": [{
"site_id": "6",
"site_name": "Room 5",
"category_id": "16",
"category_name": "Single Room",
"period_from": "2020-10-26 14:00:00",
"period_to": "2020-11-02 10:00:00",
"gl_account_id": "20",
"gl_category_id": "1",
"tax_free": "1",
"vacancy_length": 1080
},{
"site_id": "15",
"site_name": "Room 8",
"category_id": "16",
"category_name": "Single Room",
"period_from": "2020-10-26 14:00:00",
"period_to": "2020-11-02 10:00:00",
"gl_account_id": "20",
"gl_category_id": "1",
"tax_free": "1",
"vacancy_length": 45
}],
Another parameter you can provide is return_membership_discount_pricing which when "true" calculates all the applicable Membership Discounts in each tariffs_available entry:
"membership_discount_pricing": [
{
"discount_id": "1",
"discount_name": "Membership Discount",
"discount_amount": 90.00,
"membership_id": "2",
"membership_name": "your membership program",
"membership_description": "Get a great discount by using your Membership!
",
"membership_icon": "https://driveau.newbook.cloud/instance_manager_e240bdef70fa7392a0332a76c7431a46_5f8532ea266d2.png",
"service_class": "Membership_Service_NAME",
"service_level": "Your Configured Membership Service Level"
}
]
If membership_discount_pricing is empty it means the calculated discount amount is $0, or there is no applicable discount for this combination of Category and Tariff.
Availability is returned per-Category. For each Category in the data returned, the below are useful to understand why sites_available may be "0":
| sites_code | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| 0 | No error occurred - a successful result |
| 1 | Requested parameters were invalid and calculation cannot be done |
| 2 | The Site is not yet opened, or already closed, over the date range requested |
| 3 | NewBook has computed there is no availability for the requested parameters |
| 4 | There is no availability due to a Special Date blocking |
| 5 | An Allotment takes the last remaining availability |
| 6 | The Category is configured for Dirty Sites to be exempt from availability, and the Site is dirty, therefore it is unavailable (same-day arrivals only) |
| 7 | The Instance Setting for Daily Stop Sell Time has passed (same-day arrivals only) |
| 8 | The Instance Setting Minimum Advance Days for Online Bookings has not been met |
| 9 | The Instance Setting Maximum Advance Days for Online Bookings has been exceeded |
In addition, each Category returns one or more Tariffs. For each Category -> Tariff in the data returned, the below are useful to understand why tariff_success may be "false":
| tariff_code | Reasoning |
|---|---|
| 0 | No error occurred - a successful result |
| 1 | Requested parameters were invalid and calculation cannot be done |
| 2 | The Tariff Minimum Occupants has not been met |
| 3 | The Tariff Maximum Occupants has been exceeded |
| 4 | The Tariff Minimum Days in Advance for Bookings has not been met |
| 5 | The Tariff Maximum Days in Advance for Bookings has been exceeded |
| 6 | The Tariff Minimum Nights for Bookings has not been met |
| 7 | The Tariff Maximum Nights for Bookings has been exceeded |
| 8 | The Tariff is not applicable due to a Special Date blocking |
| 9 | The Tariff has a Closed to Arrival Override for the days requested - Bookings cannot use this Tariff to arrive on the date requested |
| 10 | The Tariff has a Closed to Departure Override for the days requested - Bookings cannot use this Tariff to depart on the date requested |
| 11 | The Tariff has a Stop-Sold Override for the days requested |
The sort key is returned, in both object and array return, to indicate the sorting order the Instance has established for the categories returned. This should be respected in your code as the sequential order the Instance intended for the categories returned.
inventory_items will be returned if they are associated with the Tariff or Category inside NewBook. Beyond the name and amount, they expose two important aspects:
This request is one which can return either an array of objects or an object of objects (default) identified by their Category ID. This can be controlled by adding
to your request parameters. When provided, data is returned as requested.{"return": "array"}
Bookings: Create Availability Email
An Availability Email is NewBook recording a set of parameters for a potential Booking, such as arrival and departure dates, number of adults, children, infants etc. and a particular Category and Tariff.
A URL is returned (online_booking_url) to accept the potential Booking and convert it to an actual Booking via NewBook Online. Thanks to most of the data being pre-filled, there is very little input required from the Guest to complete a Booking.
Calling this method will create an Availability Email, but despite its name this will not send an email to the Guest.
You can also provide children, infants and animals as numeric parameters (like the adults parameter).
Regarding specifying a Guest:
expire_quote_on is optional, and it controls the date from which the Guest cannot accept the offer via NewBook Online. It defaults to +2 weeks from the date of the Availability Email (this default can be changed by the Instance in NewBook Settings).
source_id is optional, and is used on the resulting Booking if the Guest accepts the offer via NewBook Online. It must be a valid source_id or the request will fail.
The response for this request is identical to the response for Bookings: Pull Availability & Pricing, except for the below:
In comparison to the Bookings: Pull Availability & Pricing request, the data key in the response of this method is an array of objects by default, not an object of objects.
This request is one which can return either an array of objects (default) or an object of objects identified by their Category ID. This can be controlled by adding
to your request parameters. When provided, data is returned as requested.{"return": "object"}
Bookings: Create
Bookings can be submitted to NewBook by using this method. Please note that these are treated equal to NewBook Online bookings and are subject to fees per booking received.
For now, the Guest will not receive an email from this process as it is expected that the implementing code will be responsible for that kind of communication. The Instance will receive an email as per normal for incoming bookings.
You can also provide children, infants and animals as numeric parameters (like the adults parameter).
You can also provide the category_id for this request to automatically allocate an available Site from that Category, or manually supply a specific site_id.
Regarding specifying a Guest:
The following parameters are optional and save onto the Guest:
The following parameters are optional and save onto the Booking:
If specified, tariffs_quoted must cover the entire date range of the booking and must follow this format:
[{"specific date":{"tariff_quoted_id":sourced from NewBook,"price":number}]
If specified, repeat_charges must be a single array and must follow this format:
[{"interval":amount}]
Note: Bookings can have neither of the above, and therefore be set up with "No Billing", but they cannot have both of repeat_charges and tariffs_quoted - please use only one billing method
If specified, inventory_items must follow this format:
[{
"inventory_item_id":sourced from NewBook,

If specified, allow_dirty_arrivals must be "true" or "false". This parameter will tell NewBook whether or not a same day Booking can be placed in a Dirty Site. The Instance controls the default of this on each Category.
If specified, allow_backtoback_bookings must be "true" or "false". This parameter will tell NewBook whether a Booking can be placed if another Booking is Departing on the same day. The Instance controls the default of this, for each day of the week, on each Category.
