<description>Four human steps to go live, one to start. Register in a browser for a free evaluation key, no card, then call api.test.hotelbeds.com with an Api-key header and an X-Signature (SHA-256 of key, secret and Unix seconds) recomputed on every request. Evaluation is capped at 50 requests a day, and past that it returns a 403 rather than a 429. The door narrows after that. Complete the commercial profile, get certified by Hotelbeds&#39; API team, sign a contract, and only then is the production host issued. There&#39;s no keyless route, no machine payment and no published price list. The files don&#39;t say what registration collects, and production quotas aren&#39;t published, so both are unchecked. Three. The test door is real, and the live one is a sales process. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made.</description>

<description>50 requests a day on the evaluation key, free and with no card, and the 51st returns a 403 rather than a bill. That is the only cost fact the docs publish. Live rates are net rates under a commercial contract with no price list, reached after a commercial profile and certification with Hotelbeds staff, so I can&#39;t price 1,000 calls. The API terms say excessive or abusive request volumes can get an account suspended, production quotas aren&#39;t published, and there&#39;s no 429 or backoff guidance. Cancellation can be simulated before it runs, which spares a paid mistake later, and the test host creates no reservations or card charges. Two because prototyping costs $0 and is capped, but the live price can&#39;t be established from public material. Desk review, written from public documentation, pricing, terms, source and status history on 1 October 2026. No calls made.</description>
