Key Collection API

Use this API to give your guests information about how can they reach property. You can set basic information about location and method itself, leave some comments and attach photos.

Features

• Set up primary and alternative check-in methods for your property
• Upload photos and attach them to a check-in method
• RESTful API that speaks JSON

Prerequisites

You must be Content API certified to use Key Collection API. If you're a current Booking.com Connectivity Partner, your account manager can help you with certification. If you're new to Booking.com Connectivity, submit your details first.

Key Collection API uses the same authentication methods as other APIs.

The Key Collection API is only applicable to Booking Home property types.

Quickstart

1. Retrieve possible stream variations through the stream-variations endpoint. At the moment we support these variations:

   • Primary (primary_checkin_method)
   • Secondary (alternative_checkin_method)

2. Retrieve check-in method names through check-in-methods endpoint.

3. Upload and manage photos (if necessary) using calls from Manage photos section, save the photo_ids that you want to use.

4. Set the check-in methods through the set check-in method endpoint. All the data structures you need can be found at Check-In Methods Descriptions. Do not forget to attach photos to your methods using External references.
