Overview
In the case of the Channel-X API, Travelgate will send requests to the Buyer's system, to your system. This API has three main methods; your task will be to configure your system to handle the requests of each of the methods:
📄️ Inventory
The HotelRatePlanInventoryNotif message contains information about the inventory setup that is followed by the structure: Hotel > Rate Plan > Room.
📄️ Availability
The HotelAvailNotif message contains information about rate availability and allotment conditions. No rate information will be returned except code.
📄️ Rates
The HotelRatePlanNotif message contains information about rate prices and supplements. No rate information will be returned except code, currency and status.
After each request, a response should be provided from your side. For instance, if a HotelAvailNotif request is received, a corresponding HotelAvailNotif response should be sent, and so forth. There are two response options, success or error.
Keep in mind that after configuring your system to handle the requests, you will need to access the Full Copy tab to obtain all product details. Subsequently, Channel-X will send Delta requests for updates made by the Channel Manager.
