Verdicts

Booking.com Demand API

Search, look and book plus order management on Booking.com's accommodation inventory. Managed Affiliate Partner status required; no self-serve key.

LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)

Sandbox key at sign-up, same base URL as production, no card. Hosted MCP's documented setup puts the API key in the URL query string and exposes 111 generated tools.

Before you call either

Booking.com Demand API

  1. Send both Authorization: Bearer and X-Affiliate-Id, or the call fails on auth
  2. Stay under 50 requests a minute in the sandbox and back off exponentially on 429
  3. Only accommodation flows book in the sandbox; cars and attractions won't
  4. Store the key at creation, it's never shown again
  5. Use filters and pagination on search to keep payloads small

LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)

  1. Use /hotels/rates with a short hotelIds list from /data/hotels; a broad rates call is slow and large
  2. Always prebook before book and read the cancellation policy in the prebook response, since refundability differs per rate
  3. Send a unique clientReference on book; a repeat returns error 4005 instead of a second booking
  4. Set margin explicitly on every rates call. Zero means net rates with no commission to you
  5. Send the key to the MCP in an X-Api-Key header rather than ?apiKey= where the client allows it
