Occupancies / Availabilities

Keeping availabilities and occupied periods up to date is one of the most crucial aspects for every property in order to avoid double bookings and provide correct information to your guest. Information should therefore be as current as possible and sent right at the time of change. We have collected several hints and tips for you to develop this part hassle-free. We also provide the basic request scheme and the four request methods together with the corresponding responses.

The general URL of this service is https://connect.travanto.de/service/occupancies. Use GET, POST, PUT and DELETE methods to show, create, change or delete one or more occupied periods.

Schemes

The basic request and response schemes for the occupancy service provide you with a sound idea of how to use it.

Request scheme
Response scheme

We are running an occupancy service already using XML and will continue to do so for some while. If you, however, already use this service and send occupancy information into our system, you now have the possibility to send single occupancies instead of always sending all occupancies for an entire object! All you have to do is adapt your programming to the new JSON scheme and use the methods accordingly. Your API does have the same rights in the new environment.


Creating occupancies

Method URL Description
POST /service/occupancies/?object_id=$object_id Create one or more occupancies for a specific property

Example request: 

{
  "occupancies": [
    {
      "object_id": 1010397,
      "date_from": "2018-02-01",
      "date_to": "2018-02-10",
      "guest_name": "Tim Hochmuth",
      "guest_amount": 3,
      "comment": "Early arrival"
    },
    {
      "object_id": 1010397,
      "date_from": "2018-03-01",
      "date_to": "2018-03-10",
      "guest_name": "Another guest",
      "guest_amount": 4,
      "comment": "Dog"
    }
  ]
}

Example response: 

{
  "OK": 1,
  "Request": {
    "Method": "POST",
    "Path": "/service/occupancies/"
  },
  "OccupanciesServiceResult": [
    {
      "occupancy_id": 1643064492,
      "object_id": 1010397,
      "date_from": "2018-02-01",
      "date_to": "2018-02-10",
      "guest_name": "Tim Hochmuth",
      "guest_amount": 3,
      "comment": "Early arrival"
    },
    {
      "occupancy_id": 1643064493,
      "object_id": 1010397,
      "date_from": "2018-03-01",
      "date_to": "2018-03-10",
      "guest_name": "Another guest",
      "guest_amount": 4,
      "comment": "Dog"
    }
  ]
}

TIPS

  • Creating new occupanncies does not require an “occupancy_id” as it is being created internally and returned to you within the response. Please use this ID for all further actions concernings this booking, e.g. show, update, delete.
  • Sending new occupied periods as quickly as possible is highly important. Please try to send new occupancies as they are being made or as quickly as possible afterwards.
  • Even though you define the property ID in the URL you still have to send the ID for every period.


Showing occupancies

TIPS

  • If you also want to include bookings having been made by Travanto add parameter &bookings=1 to your request. You will also be shown the booking ID and the booking type.
  • Responses only contain occupied periods of which at least one night is in the future. Add parameter &date_past=1 for past periods.
