EPS Rapid RecommendationsBeta

Using Recommendations API (Beta)

Our API will allow you to present property recommendations which best match your customers’ needs. All you need to do is provide us with the reference property and the dates on which you want to base your recommendations, and we will use it to return top 10 available properties. You can then present them in the way that works best for your business.

The reference property can be any property which you want to use as the starting point for matching relevant properties. For example, it could be a property which is sold out for your customer’s travel dates, a property they are currently viewing on the details page, or a property that they visited on your site in the past. Whether you already know the location that your customer needs or you’re simply anticipating a trip that they might want to make our Recommendations API will provide you with the best available properties in the area. It will allow your customers to discover new properties quickly and effortlessly, whilst helping you to complete more bookings.

Recommendation Reference

Recommendations API requires you to send the existing EPS provided Rapid property ID for the property on which the recommendations will be based. 

Recommendation Type

Recommendations provided are based on relevance to the given reference property. Our API will use multiple signals such as price and popularity to intelligently match and score up to 250 properties located nearby the reference property. We will then return a list of up to 10 top properties which are available for the dates required. The response will include the property and room details, with the rates.

Running a test request

Our Recommendations API is currently in beta, and available on test.ean.com only. It cannot be used with live traffic yet. However, we want our partners to see how it works and explore using it. If you encounter any unexpected issues or have any questions we would appreciate it if you contacted your Account Manager. 

Before running a test please refer to the API swagger documentation below for the correct formatting of mandatory fields required for successful requests.
