Introduction

Getting started

Search, compare, and book hotel accommodations for corporate travelers.

Welcome to the Hotel API. With BCD APIs, you have the ability to create a white-label hotel booking application for your business travelers.

Credentials

From our engineering team

We provide you with a set of test credentials until you’re ready to go live. You’ll need to obtain these from our engineering team to use throughout your integration phase:

  • Your organization’s API key
  • Your organization’s secret key
  • Your organization’s entity ID
  • An Environment URL

Created by your application

You’ll need to create logic within your application to send these in every request:

  • A nonce cryptographic identifier
  • A timestamp identifier
  • A request signature

For more info, view our Authentication guide, or skip ahead to the Postman setup instructions below.

TLS

In accordance with the latest PCI compliance and security standards, we only support TLS 1.2 protocol connections.

Postman setup

  1. Download the Postman application.
  2. Open Postman and import our Postman Collection.
  3. Import our Environment JSON file and modify with your Environment URL (ASB_API_URL), API key (ASB_API_KEY), and secret key (ASB_API_SECRET).

If you’re new to Postman, view the Postman documentation for details on how to configure a collection.

Ready to go “live”?

Contact our engineering team when you’re ready to go live with your production application. We like to certify all customer applications for go-live with a walk-through of your test application flow to review the request/response in each step.
