Booking, payment, changes and cancellations happen on kiwi.com through the `bookingUrl` in each result\n\n### ETG API (RateHawk) (D)\n\nGood for: A travel company with an ETG contract that wants wholesale hotel rates behind its agent, with a documented sandbox for the build.\n\nAhead on:\n- Schema \u0026 documentation, 85 against 55\n- Maintenance \u0026 community, 65 against 13\n\nWatch for: No self-serve key.

It can't book, hold, change or cancel, and it has no published rate limits, changelog, terms or version. Each search returns 15 itineraries with no way to ask for fewer.\n\n**ETG API (RateHawk).** Hotel search and booking are documented in a public Swagger 2.0 file, an llms.txt index and a changelog with 64 dated entries in 2026. Access is by contract. Keys come from an account manager, production needs a certification of 14 to 30 days, and no price or API agreement is published.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Kiwi.com MCP Server\n\n1. POST to `https://mcp.kiwi.com` itself. `/mcp` returns 404, and responses arrive as `text/event-stream` even for a single reply\n2. Send dates as dd/mm/yyyy and set `currency`, which defaults to EUR\n3. Check the `error` field of every result. A rejected input returns `resultsCount` 0 with `isError` false\n4. Narrow with `price_to`, `max_sector_stopovers` and `sort`. There is no limit parameter and each search returns 15 itineraries\n5. Give the user `bookingUrl` to book. Don't call `feedback-to-devs` with user data, because it sends free text to Kiwi.com\n\n### ETG API (RateHawk)\n\n1. Call `/api/b2b/v3/overview/` first. It lists the endpoints the key may use and each one's request limit.\n2. Keep sandbox IDs, keys and hashes inside `api-sandbox.ratehawk.com`. Sandbox region IDs are limited to 2011, 2395, 2734 and 6053839.\n3. Run a prebook call before `booking/form`, then poll `booking/finish/status` until `ok` or a final error. Treat `timeout`, `unknown` and 5xx as still in progress.\n4. Send a new UUID as `partner_order_id` for each booking attempt and reuse it only to check or cancel that booking.\n5. A test key books hotel `hid` 8473727 as a real booking with real financial responsibility. Cancel it afterwards.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Kiwi.com MCP Server or ETG API (RateHawk)?\n\nETG API (RateHawk) scores 53 (D) on agent readiness against Kiwi.com MCP Server's 51.9 (D), and leads in 3 of 7 scored categories.
