Reservations API Changelog

Removed / Modified / Added to the specification.

Upcoming Change Dec 2024

Addition of: ResStatus=”Redacted”

Impact

Reservations with a @ResStatus of “Redacted” will have all ‘PII’ data removed.

Important: The SMX partner application should be able to accept all ResStatus values and respond with Success (200 OK status). It will now need to handle the additional ‘Redacted’ value.

XML Sample of new ResStatus

<HotelReservations>
	<HotelReservation ResStatus="Redacted" CreateDateTime="2017-09-19T18:02:44+00:00" CreatorID="LINDA-RESAGENT" LastModifyDateTime="2017-09-19T18:13:51+00:00" LastModifierID="651651651651">
		<POS>…</POS>
		<UniqueID ID="BDC-3685569477"/>
		<RoomStays>…</RoomStays>
		<ResGlobalInfo>…</ResGlobalInfo>
	</HotelReservation>
</HotelReservations>

Updated 08-February-2024

Addition of: second AddressLine

Impact

Reservations may include a second AddressLine under ResGuest / Profile and ResGlobalInfo / Profile rather than having the two address lines merged in one AddressLine. LittleHotelier supports two-line addresses and have character limits for each. If there is data in the second line, it will be sent in the XML in a secondary AddressLine as below:

XML Sample of two AddressLine

<HotelReservations>
	<HotelReservation ResStatus="Redacted" CreateDateTime="2017-09-19T18:02:44+00:00" CreatorID="LINDA-RESAGENT" LastModifyDateTime="2017-09-19T18:13:51+00:00" LastModifierID="651651651651">

	</HotelReservation>
</HotelReservations>

Updated 09-January-2024

Addition of: ResGlobalInfo and ResGuests / Profiles / UniqueID / ID

Impact

Little Hotelier reservations will contain a Guest ID under Profiles / UniqueID / ID. This is a randomly generated ID and will not be visible in Little Hotelier.

XML Sample of GuestID

<ResGuests>
    <ResGuest ResGuestRPH="2">
        <Profiles>
            <ProfileInfo>

            </Profile>

    </Profiles>
</ResGlobalInfo>               

Updated 09-January-2024

Addition of: ResGuest / PrimaryIndicator

Impact

Little Hotelier reservations will now identify the primary guest as PrimaryIndicator=”true” to know which guest is checking in. If multiple ResGuest / Profile are sent, only one will be identified as primary.

XML Sample of PrimaryIndicator

<ResGuests>
        <ResGuest ResGuestRPH="1">
        <ResGuest ResGuestRPH="1" PrimaryIndicator="true">
          <Profiles>
            <ProfileInfo>
              <Profile ProfileType="1">
            </ProfileInfo>
          </Profiles>
