Agoda search

Resolve a hotel name to Agoda's numeric property identifier.

POST/v1/ota/agoda/search
1 credit

This uses Agoda's lightweight guest-facing suggestion endpoint. Add city to disambiguate common brands, then store recommended_match.property_id for room and rate-plan calls. It is null when only weak or ambiguous candidates were found.

Request

Authenticate with your API key in the x-api-key header (see Authentication).
