External booking channels such as Booking.com, HomeAway, SiteMinder, AirBnb and Expedia have become indispensable in today’s hospitality industry. These best-known channels are connected with Maxxton through their own integration. In other words, the API, is an interface in which external applications can extract, add or modify data from the Maxxton system.
Maxxton can provide API-connectivity to other distribution channels and applications, and will gladly offer an API to connect themselves or construct this specific integration for you.
API allows different applications and programs to interface, connect and communicate with each other by means of a common protocol, like REST and JSON in case of Maxxton. The required connectivity can be established in two ways: with a direct link between your company and the partner or through an external channel manager, which is an intermediate ‘third party’ between your company and the partner or between you and a number of partners. In these situations, we distribute prices and availability, and we receive up-to-date information about new bookings, which we process in Maxxton.
