Managed Affiliate Partner status required; no self-serve key.\n\n**Odessia.** Odessia is a free travel concierge that books as a registered travel agent, watches prices and award seats, and keeps a public status page with a clean record since July. No outside agent can call it, standing authorisations let it pay without asking each time, and no changelog was found.\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### Odessia\n\n1. Don't plan to call Odessia from another agent. It answers only its signed-in owner on the web, by message or by email.\n2. Check whether the owner has set a standing authorisation before assuming a booking will wait for approval.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Booking.com Demand API or Odessia?\n\nBooking.com Demand API scores 38.1 (E) on agent readiness against Odessia's 22.2 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
