Instant World Booking XML API Guide
Internet Marketing
New for 2011, HostelTraveler.com has announced the release of version 3.0 of the Instant World Booking XML API Guide. This is a major release, now featuring full XML support for white-label affiliate programs.
Instant World Booking's affiliate programs are suitable for any website where travel and accommodation content is desired, including the ability to host a full-fledged online booking service. For example, members of our affiliate program can access almost unlimited data pertaining to accommodations, their amenities, and availability. Developers can therefore integrate this data into their websites to completely control their users' experience. In other words, a white-label travel information and booking service can be achieved using the XML API.
Our XML API continues to support full 2-way automatic update of availability calendars. This functionality is suitable for individual property managers, accommodation chains, consolidators, channel managers, front desk systems, property management systems (PMS), and even other booking engines. In fact, anyone who is tired of managing their calendar manually, or updating multiple booking systems, can use our XML API to achieve perfect synchronization automatically.

HostelTraveler.com has just released version 4.0 of the Instant World Booking XML API. This version includes several major new features:
1. Create Room Types (API Function: createrooms)
A new function for creating room types will aid in the synchronization between IWB and integrating systems. Previously, room type creation was only achieved by setting new calendar allocations, which sometimes led to creation of duplicate rooms. The new function ensures better control over room types.
2. Change Room Types (API Function: changerooms)
A new function for modifying room type features has been added, allowing simple updates of room characteristics. Previously, changes could only be achieved through adding a new room type, and replacing the old one. This new function greatly simplifies the administration of room types and related characteristics.
3. Rate Changes
Global rate changes (search and replace) can now also be achieved through a new feature included within the above function (2) Change Room Types.
While the new features provide significant added functionality and convenience, the new version is fully compatible with previous versions. So, existing integrations will continue to work as normal. We encourage you to review our updated XML API Guide for more information on these new features, and how they can enhance your integration:
