About the Direct Booking API
The Direct Booking API is available for hotel groups using Multi-Property and Direct Booking with the SiteMinder platform.
This API delivers comprehensive information on your properties, including rate plans, room types, room rates, and real-time rate and availability data across your entire Direct Booking property portfolio. With this API, you can build completely custom booking experiences that match your brand while maintaining data accuracy across all properties.
Data syncs automatically as changes are made in Direct Booking, ensuring your website always displays current information.

Frequently asked questions
Is there an extra fee to use Direct Booking API?
No, the Direct Booking API is included with your Booking Engine and Multi-Property subscription at no additional cost.
Is the Direct Booking API available for individual properties?
Currently, the API is only available for groups using Multi-Property.
How is the API different from the Website Integration Guide?
The Direct Booking API provides raw data for hotel groups to fully customise their website and display rates and availability however they choose. We simply supply the data and you have complete control over the design.
The Website Integration Guide provides ready-made widgets and templates for individual properties to embed into their websites, including 'Book Now' buttons, date selection widgets, and availability grids, however is less customisable than the API.
