Odessia

Before you call either
LiteAPI (Nuitee Connect)
- Use
/hotels/rateswith a shorthotelIdslist from/data/hotels; a broad rates call is slow and large - Always prebook before book and read the cancellation policy in the prebook response, since refundability differs per rate
- Send a unique
clientReferenceon book; a repeat returns error 4005 instead of a second booking - Set
marginexplicitly on every rates call. Zero means net rates with no commission to you - Send the key to the MCP in an
X-Api-Keyheader rather than?apiKey=where the client allows it
Odessia
- Don't plan to call Odessia from another agent. It answers only its signed-in owner on the web, by message or by email.
- Check whether the owner has set a standing authorisation before assuming a booking will wait for approval.
