Generate API Key

Generate the API key required to authenticate with the Direct Booking API

This API is only available to hotel groups on Multi-Property with the SiteMinder Platform. Groups on the classic version of the SiteMinder Channel Manager will not be able to access the Direct Booking API.

Initially, an Admin User will see the following screen in Direct Booking > API, where this user will be able to generate an API Key.

If this screen is greyed out, it means your user does not have the correct privileges to view and edit this page. Please have your organisation upgrade your user or have this task completed by an admin user.

Your system will look like the above if the API key has been issued.

• The alternative key, once implemented, should be considered your long-term in-use key, and will function just the same as the initially used key.

• For security reasons, we recommend you revoke the backup key once you have finished using it.
