Direct API
Direct listing-bound reservation connection
Recommended route
What it does
The implemented direct route can read availability for the chosen Hostaway listing, create a direct-channel reservation, and update that same reservation with its proven Hostaway ID.
Before you start
Copy the Hostaway Account ID and API key, then choose one listing. First AI Employee reads the reservation price from Hostaway immediately before the write and uses the currency verified on that listing.
What it does not do
The live receptionist checks every night, enforces Hostaway stay limits, obtains provider-calculated price and currency, and creates one direct reservation. This remains conditional until a customer-owned account completes the production acceptance test. One connection is bound to one listing and cannot collect cards, charge payments, send messages, or force overbooking.
Set it up
- Open Hostaway in Integrations and paste the Account ID and API key.
- Load the listings visible to those credentials and choose the one the receptionist may use.
- Check a non-production date range and compare the returned availability with Hostaway.
- Create one test direct reservation, confirm its Hostaway ID, and test an update only against that same reservation.
