Hotel API for travel agents: every source, one property, one price
Bedbanks, OTA APIs and your directly contracted rates merged into a single property view with room-level rates, cancellation policies and board types, so agents and travellers compare rooms rather than suppliers.
The same hotel, ten times over
Each bedbank and OTA API describes the same property differently, with its own IDs, room names, policies and price breaks. Without mapping, agents scroll through duplicates and travellers see contradictory prices for one room.
Mapped, merged and priced per channel
Synapse maps properties across suppliers with GIATA and Vervotech, merges rooms into one view and applies your channel markups. Nexus contracts sit beside aggregator rates, and the cheapest or preferred source can be chosen by rule rather than by hand.
What travel agents need from a hotel API
A hotel API for travel agents has to do more than return rates. Agents need one property with clear room options, a price that holds between search and booking, cancellation deadlines they can trust, and vouchers that carry the agency’s brand. Elkanio’s hotel API, delivered through Synapse, covers:
- Content sync and mapping of supplier properties into one master record (property mapping).
- One availability call across every enabled supplier, by destination or property.
- Pre-book price check so changes surface before payment.
- Hold, book and confirm , with supplier references stored against the booking.
- Cancellation policies turned into a clear last-free-cancellation date.
- Your contracts from Nexus beside wholesale rates, with your own markup.
Hotel supply for Indian and Gulf agencies
Most agencies combine a global source such as Expedia Partner Solutions (Rapid) with OTA APIs and bedbanks such as Booking.com, Agoda, Hotelbeds, WebBeds, RateHawk and RezLive, regional wholesalers like TBO, TripJack, TourMind and GRN, and their own directly contracted hotels. Elkanio maps them so the same hotel appears once, then picks the source by rule: lowest price, preferred supplier per market, or your contract first. The connected suppliers are listed further down this page.

Questions about hotels.
How are duplicate properties handled?
Synapse maps supplier property IDs to one property record, merges content and shows one room list with the source and price per room, so the traveller compares rooms rather than suppliers.
Can we prefer our own contracted rates?
Yes. Rules can prefer Nexus contracts by property, market or margin, or simply show the best price with the source marked.
What happens with a cancellation close to the deadline?
Policy deadlines are stored per booking; Pulse can remind the traveller and your team before a deadline, and cancellations and refunds run through the same order model.
Do you provide a hotel API for travel agents and OTAs?
Yes. Synapse exposes hotel search, price check, booking and cancellation in one schema, with sandbox access for developers.
Which hotel suppliers can I connect?
Expedia Partner Solutions (Rapid), Booking.com, Agoda, Hotelbeds, WebBeds, RateHawk, TourMind, RezLive, GRN Connect, TBO, Cleartrip, TripJack, GIATA and Vervotech today, plus your own contracts. Availability depends on your market and accounts.
Do I need my own supplier agreements?
Generally yes. Elkanio connects your accounts and is the technology layer.
Is it a merchant or agency model?
That follows your agreement with each supplier; the platform supports both.
