Direct API
Direct Newbook REST reservation connection
Recommended route
What it does
The receptionist checks Newbook availability and pricing for the selected category or site, then creates a confirmed booking with the guest and stay details after approval.
Before you start
The Newbook owner supplies the REST username, REST password, regional API key, and the category or site the receptionist may book. The direct Newbook lane must be enabled for the deployment.
What it does not do
The write is a new booking only. It does not take card payments, change an existing booking, choose arbitrary inventory, or bypass Newbook occupancy rules. Availability must be checked immediately before the write and the customer account must pass a real test.
Set it up
- Create or obtain the least-privileged Newbook REST credentials.
- Paste the username, password, API key, and region in Integrations and run the authentication check.
- Choose the approved category or site in the receptionist configuration.
- Run one test booking and compare its Newbook booking ID before enabling live calls.
