Stay

One explicit stay window. rate is the WHOLE-STAY figure — length of stay moves the nightly price, so dividing it out would misrepresent it.

POST/v1/stay

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

Body

JSON object. Unknown fields are rejected with 422.

  • check_instring (date)required

    First night of the stay, YYYY-MM-DD.

    Occupancy: number of adults, 1-8. Children are not supported by the Google calendar.

  • rates_include_taxboolean | null

    Which basis the summary price uses. Omit to take the market convention; pass the property's own setting to override.

  • is_hostelbooleandefault false

    Hostels are priced per bed rather than per room, so occupancy changes the rate differently. Set this and the per-person maths is applied.
