What Is Hotelbeds API Integration?
Hotelbeds API integration connects a travel website or application with the Hotelbeds hotel distribution services available to the business. It combines hotel information with availability, room rates and booking operations so agents or customers can complete the journey within your platform.
Hotelbeds, part of HBX Group, provides B2B travel distribution through its API suite, often referred to as APItude. Its Content API supplies hotel information, while the Booking API handles dynamic search and reservation data. SRDV Technologies develops the agreed portal experience and technical connection around these services.

Hotelbeds API Capabilities for Your Booking Platform
Use the supplier APIs for their intended role and scope the customer interface, pricing controls and operational tools around them.
Room Availability and Rates
Search enabled hotels for the requested stay dates and occupancy. Present the returned rooms, board options, prices, remarks and cancellation conditions clearly.
CheckRate for RECHECK Rates
Follow the Hotelbeds rate type returned by search. Rates marked RECHECK need the CheckRate step before booking to confirm the relevant pricing and availability.
Reservation and Confirmation
Send the selected rate and required guest details through the booking workflow. Store supplier references and display a confirmed reservation only after the supplier confirms it.
Booking Lookup and Cancellation
Implement supported booking-list, detail and cancellation operations. Show the applicable cancellation conditions and charges before a user proceeds.
Portal Pricing and Records
Scope your selling-price rules, payment collection, vouchers and reports around the supplier responses. These portal controls are agreed development work rather than automatic API features.
How Does Hotelbeds API Integration Work?
A reliable booking journey connects mapped hotel content with the rate and reservation steps required by Hotelbeds.
1. Prepare Hotel Content
Load the agreed hotel and destination content, map supplier codes and define a refresh process. Keep descriptions and photos connected to the correct property.
2. Search and Review
Request availability for stay dates and guest occupancy. Let users compare the returned room options, prices, board types and relevant booking conditions.
3. Check the Rate and Book
Run CheckRate when the rate type requires it, then use the appropriate returned rate key in the booking request. Review the response before presenting confirmation.
4. Confirm and Service
Save the booking reference, prepare the agreed voucher and let staff retrieve booking details or manage supported cancellations under supplier terms.
An interrupted booking response is not proof that a reservation failed. Check supplier booking status and references before deciding whether a request can be retried.
Booking API, Content API and Cache API: What Is the Difference?
These services serve different purposes. The integration design should match your approved products and business model.
Booking API
Handles changing reservation information such as availability, rates, rate checks and bookings. The selected rate and booking response drive the live customer journey.
Content API
Supplies descriptive hotel information and code descriptions used alongside search results. Plan local storage, mapping and refreshes so users see current property details.
Cache API
Supports separate inventory and pricing-data workflows for agreed use cases. It is not a replacement for the required booking checks; access and implementation need their own review.
Benefits for Agencies, OTAs and Tour Operators
Connect approved hotel supply with the experience and operating controls your customers and team need.
B2B Agent Portals
Give agents a branded place to search rooms, review conditions and access booking records. Define account permissions and selling rules for the channels allowed by your agreement.
Explore B2B travel portalsOTAs and Customer Websites
Bring hotel facts, room comparison and checkout into one customer journey. Keep the price, room selection and cancellation terms visible before confirmation.
Explore B2C booking websitesTour Operators and Existing Platforms
Add an approved accommodation source to your travel platform after a technical review. Agree the content, booking records and staff workflows required for your operating model.

What is Hotelbeds API integration?
It connects a travel platform to the Hotelbeds services enabled for the business. The hotel integration combines descriptive property content with availability, rate checks, booking and supported servicing operations.
What is Hotelbeds APItude?
APItude is a name used for the Hotelbeds API suite. Its hotel products include Booking API, Content API and Cache API, which serve different reservation, content and inventory-data needs.
Do I need my own Hotelbeds account and API credentials?
You need the appropriate Hotelbeds account and access for your business model. Confirm test credentials, commercial requirements and production access with Hotelbeds. SRDV Technologies provides development using the access approved for your business.
When does the Hotelbeds CheckRate step apply?
The official booking workflow requires CheckRate for rates returned with a RECHECK type. This step re-evaluates pricing and availability before booking. The integration follows the returned rate type and current supplier documentation.
How are Content API and Booking API different?
Content API provides static hotel details such as descriptions, photos, locations and code descriptions. Booking API provides dynamic data such as availability, rates and booking results. The portal maps and combines the two.
Is Cache API required for every Hotelbeds integration?
Not every project needs a separate Cache API implementation. Review the approved products, traffic model and supplier terms. Cached content or pricing does not remove the checks required for the live booking workflow.
Does Hotelbeds require certification before production?
Hotelbeds documents a hotel API certification process and checks before live operation. SRDV can implement the agreed workflow and prepare technical evidence for review. Final certification and production credentials remain with Hotelbeds.
Can Hotelbeds work in B2B and B2C travel portals?
The integration can be scoped for agent portals, customer websites or multiple channels, subject to your Hotelbeds distribution agreement. The interface, user access and selling-price rules are configured around the approved operating model.
Can Hotelbeds be combined with other hotel suppliers?
Yes, subject to provider access and a technical review. A multi-supplier platform needs a mapping strategy for hotel identifiers, overlapping properties and room or rate options. Adding APIs alone does not automatically remove duplicate listings.
Does the integration support cancellations and refunds?
Supported cancellations can be included with the applicable Hotelbeds conditions and charges. Refund handling depends on the supplier result and your payment collection process; cancellation should not be treated as a guaranteed immediate refund.
Can Hotelbeds transfers and activities be included?
Hotelbeds publishes separate APIs for transfers and activities. These products require their own access and workflow review and should be scoped separately from the hotel booking connection.
What does Hotelbeds integration cost and how long does it take?
An estimate follows a review of the platform, account access, required APIs, content mapping, payment flow and testing scope. Supplier charges and commercial terms are separate. Delivery also depends on supplier review, certification and business acceptance.
