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### Hotelbeds Hotel Booking API\n\n1. Compute `X-Signature` fresh per request from key, secret and the current epoch seconds, in that order\n2. Budget the 50 daily evaluation calls; cache hotel content and only call availability for real dates\n3. Run CheckRate on a rate before booking when the availability response says it needs rechecking\n4. Read a 403 on the test host as the daily quota first, not a bad key\n5. Simulate a cancellation before running it\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, Hotelbeds Hotel Booking API or Odessia?\n\nHotelbeds Hotel Booking API scores 36.3 (F) on agent readiness against Odessia's 22.2 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
