Message Structure
Learn how SOAP messages must be structured when using the SiteConnect API, including formatting, headers, and authentication requirements.
Soap Message Structure
All messages (Requests/Responses) exchanged between SiteMinder and the booking channel must:
Adhere to the SOAP message format.
Encapsulate the OTA message within the SOAP Body.
Requests must include a SOAP Security Header for authentication purposes.
Responses must be returned in a SOAP envelope. However, the SOAP Header should be empty.
Version
SiteConnect is using SOAP 1.1
Header
Content-Type
text/xml; charset=utf-8
Authorization
Basic <credentials>
Security Header
The Security Header structure conveys authentication information.
Credentials
Partners must provide SiteMinder with a single username and password to be used for authentication. These credentials must be global for all hotels using the connection.
