Bookings Collection

API methods to work with bookings
At Channex we have several different methods to work with Bookings, such as List of Bookings, Booking Revision Feed and etc.
Each Booking at Channex is a representation of latest known Booking Revision, where Booking Revision is parsed and normalised message from OTA.
If you would like build a PMS integration, you should use the Booking Revision Feed API, to fetch booking messages and modify bookings at your side. For initial pull, you can use Booking List API or Booking Revision Feed.

Create Booking

API to push Booking into Channex.io.
Before creating bookings through the API, you should create a "Booking Engine" Channel. You should select atleast 1 room and 1 rate plan and activate the channel. Then use created Channel ID as channel_id at new booking message.
Credit Card information can be provided into application only through secure endpoint (secure-staging.channex.io). If you try to push real credit card data into insecure endpoint, data will be masked and you can't use it in future processes. Please, contact with us through [email protected] to get details.
