Stay up to date with the latest enhancements to the Demand API.

This release introduces a new accommodation status field in the Accommodation API, enhances the Orders API for car booking and post-booking workflows, expands the Cars API with additional car categories, and includes several bug fixes.

|v3.2 | New field | accommodation_status |

What changed?

The accommodation_status field is now included in the /accommodations/details response. It indicates whether an accommodation is operational, temporarily closed, permanently closed, or closed due to fraud-related Trust & Safety concerns.

Why it matters

This is useful when querying specific accommodation IDs, as closed accommodations are returned only for ID-based requests.

The field can contain the following values:

• open
• closed_temporarily
• closed_permanently
• closed_fraud (returned only when fraud visibility is enabled for your account; otherwise reported as closed_permanently)

Available in:

• /accommodations/details

| Beta | New field | special_offer |

What changed?

The special_offer field is now included in the /orders/details/cars/live response. It returns any promotional or complimentary features that were included when the traveller made the reservation.

Why it matters

You can now retrieve this information after booking and display the traveller's special offer in your post-booking or "Manage booking" experience.

The field can contain values such as:

• Baby or child seat included.
• GPS included.
• Wi-Fi device included.
• Priority pick-up.
• Complimentary vehicle upgrade.
• Additional driver included.

Available in:

• /orders/details/cars/live

Also available in:

• /cars/search
• /cars/availability
• /cars/constants

Example:

{
  "car": {
    "id": 803765581,

}

| Beta|v3.2| New values| car_categories |

The car_categories filter now supports two additional values:

• convertible
• pickup

These categories can be used when filtering search results and are also returned by the constants endpoint.

Available in:

• /cars/search
• /cars/constants

| Beta| Behaviour change| payment.timing, payment.method optional |

When creating car orders:

• payment.timing and payment.method are now optional.

| Beta|v3.2| Bug fix| Supplier and depot results cleaned up |
