The official Node SDK repository (liteapi-travel/nodejs-sdk) carried an obfuscated payload appended to index.js on main, introduced in a merge commit dated 8 July 2025 whose author and committer time zones differ, so the real injection date is unclear. Nuitée removed it in a commit titled \"remove obfuscated malware payload injected into index.js\" on 20 April 2026. The npm package 4.3.2 was published in March 2025, before it, so npm installs weren't affected; installs from the repository in that window were. A similar removal from test.js was merged in June 2025. We found no advisory or notice in the repository or docs. https://github.com/liteapi-travel/nodejs-sdk/commit/80d6d307fe3e82dc7bb448c3a8258e974f070ef7"

Managed Affiliate Partner status required; no self-serve key.\n\n**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.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Booking.com Demand API\n\n1. Send both `Authorization: Bearer` and `X-Affiliate-Id`, or the call fails on auth\n2. Stay under 50 requests a minute in the sandbox and back off exponentially on 429\n3. Only accommodation flows book in the sandbox; cars and attractions won't\n4. Store the key at creation, it's never shown again\n5. Use filters and pagination on search to keep payloads small\n\n### LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)\n\n1. Use `/hotels/rates` with a short `hotelIds` list from `/data/hotels`; a broad rates call is slow and large\n2. Always prebook before book and read the cancellation policy in the prebook response, since refundability differs per rate\n3. Send a unique `clientReference` on book; a repeat returns error 4005 instead of a second booking\n4. Set `margin` explicitly on every rates call. Zero means net rates with no commission to you\n5. Send the key to the MCP in an `X-Api-Key` header rather than `?apiKey=` where the client allows it\n\n## Other comparisons with Booking.com Demand API or LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)\n\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs Duffel Flights and Stays API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-duffel.md)\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs Expedia Group Rapid API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-expedia-rapid.md)\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs Hotelbeds Hotel Booking API](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-hotelbeds.md)\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs LetsFG](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-letsfg.md)\n- [Expedia Group Rapid API vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/expedia-rapid-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [Hotelbeds Hotel Booking API vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hotelbeds-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [Duffel Flights and Stays API vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/duffel-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [FlightClaw vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/flightclaw-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [LetsFG vs LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/letsfg-vs-liteapi.md)\n- [Booking.com Demand API vs FlightClaw](https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/booking-demand-api-vs-flightclaw.md)\n",
