How it all works
EPS Rapid is designed to make building your booking path intuitive and easy.
Our modular API will provide you with all the data points you and your customers will need to complete a hotel booking. You will have access to region mappings, hotels, rates and much more depending on the user experience you want to build. This page explains how our booking path works.
Building Your Booking Request Flow
This is a simple guide designed to walk you through building a path. Once you’re ready to start integration, you can use our API documentation pages for more detailed information on each API module.
1.
Get Static Content
The property catalog provides the core information you need to identify properties: the property ID, name and address, contact information, and star ratings. Property content requires daily refreshes.
2.
Get Geography Information
The geography API allows you to obtain defined geography regions, region hierarchy, and properties available within specific regions.
Call the Shopping API with stay dates, occupancy details, and your desired property IDs
3.
Shop for Hotels
The response will return all available rooms at each property, with specific rates, fees, and cancellation policies for each room option. Each room object returned also contains ready-to-use tokenized links for the next step in the booking process.
Obtain Payment Options
Use the payment-options link to determine the available payment options for the property. The payment-options link can be used at any time during the booking process, depending on when you choose to show the available payment options to the customer.
To prepare to book, use the price_checklink from the room object in the Shop response to verify the selected rate.
4.
Check Price & Obtain Booking Link
If the rate matches, you will receive a MATCHED confirmation and the link value required for your booking request. If the rate has changed, you will receive the new rate information and a Link value to book with the new rate.
Send your booking request with the booking link value, guest information, and the appropriate payment information.
5.
Booking response
It returns an itinerary id and links to retrieve reservation details, cancel the booking, or resume the booking (if a held booking is created).
Store links
We recommend you store retrieve link against your customer’s details for faster booking retrieval in the future.
Add all the information to your final booking confirmation page, and that's it! You've completed your booking path.
Use the retrieve link provided in your booking response to retrieve the full itinerary record.
6.
Retrieve Itinerary Record
The retrieve response confirms all dates, rates, the room type booked, confirmation numbers, and the current status of the booking.
