|---|---|---|---|
HTTP 401 | Authorization Required | The credentials provided in the request was not sufficient for a successful authentication check. | To fix a failed authentication request, see the Authentication page. |
HTTP 403 | Forbidden | Possible reasons are, you are trying to send updates: - for a property with the wrong hotel ID. - using machine account that do not have access to the specified hotel ID. - for a property which is no longer in active connection status with your interface. | Make sure to specify the correct hotel ID or check your machine account credentials. You can then follow the steps: 1. Check if the property is connected to you in the Provider Portal. 2. Check if the connection status is active in the ‘Properties’ tab in the Provider Portal, using the property ID. 3. Check if the property is added to the machine account you use under ‘Machine Accounts’ in the Provider Portal. To know more about how to use the Provider Portal for the above actions, take a look at this self-help guide. |
HTTP 500 | Internal Server Error | Possible reason may be that Booking.com systems are experiencing temporary outage. | Try calling the endpoint after some time. |
