Search V2 API

Preferred Search Flow¶

List level — GET /api/v2/search (called without the packages parameter) to retrieve a destination / multi-property overview and decide which property to drill into.
Detailed property level — GET /api/v2/properties/{id}/packages to fetch full room and package details for the selected property.

This 2-step search returns mapped rooms, named according to Bookit static content, and is the recommended, load-optimal integration. Keeping the overview call lightweight (no packages parameter) minimizes payload size and traffic. This flow is only allowed for the direct integrations that serve the results directly to the end user. Not allowed for the aggregators or resellers.

If the 2-step flow is not feasible for your use case, the single-request batch endpoint GET /api/v2/properties/packages is a 1-step search that returns unmapped rooms. It is convenient but heavier, it terms of traffic, — it produces substantially more traffic — so use it only as a fallback and keep batches to ≤100 hotels per request.

Aggregators & Resellers

Aggregators and resellers MUST only use the GET /api/v2/properties/packages endpoint. The GET /api/v2/properties/{id}/packages endpoint is only intended for direct integrations that serve the results directly to the end user.

Rate & Room Semantics¶

Topic	Behavior
Room names & categories	Not taken from the hotel's own website categories. In the 2-step search they follow Bookit static content (mapped); in the 1-step batch search they are unmapped (supplier-provided).
Rate name language	For most properties room/rate names are in English. Some properties expose names in their local language, in which case the package name is non-English.
Market Price	Available only for endpoints that return mapped rates (the 2-step search), surfaced via the `marketPrice` field. Not available for unmapped (1-step) results.
Rack price	Not provided.
On-request rates	Not supplied. All returned rates are immediate-confirmation rates, so there is nothing to disable.
Allotment / remaining rooms	No parameter indicates the number of remaining rooms at the same conditions and price.

Limits & Constraints¶

Bookit does not impose explicit limits on the following — they are constrained only by the downstream supplier/hotel. If a requested value is not supported downstream, that property simply returns no results (no specific error is raised).

Constraint	Bookit limit
Hotels per batch request (`GET /api/v2/properties/packages`)	No hard limit; 100 hotels per request is recommended.
Rooms per reservation	No explicit limit.
Occupancy per room (adults, children, adults + children)	No explicit limit.
Length of stay	No explicit limit.
Booking window (time between booking creation and check-in)	No explicit limit.
Children ages	Integers 1–17 (see Occupancy Format below).

GET /api/v2/search¶

Search for available properties with minimal static information and rate summaries. This is a lazy-load endpoint that returns properties with pricing information. The endpoint should be polled until the isDone field in the response is set to true. Use this endpoint when searching for a large number of properties to only see the lowest rates we offer. To fetch detailed data for a property, see the Packages Endpoint

Authentication: Required (X-Api-Key)

Query Parameters:

Required Parameters¶

Parameter	Type	Description
`checkIn`	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	Check-in date. Example: `2025-10-06`
`checkOut`	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	Check-out date. Must be after `checkIn`. Example: `2025-10-07`
`occupancies`	string	Occupancy information for all rooms. See Occupancy Format below
`residency`	string	Guest residency country code (ISO-3166-1 alpha-2). Example: `FR`
`eager`	boolean	If set to `true`, response will only be returned when the search has fully completed

Occupancy Format¶

The occupancies parameter uses a semicolon-separated format for multiple rooms:

{ADULT_COUNT_0}-{CHILDREN_AGE_0},{CHILDREN_AGE_1};{ADULT_COUNT_1}-{CHILDREN_AGE_1_0},{CHILDREN_AGE_1_1}

Each room is separated by ;
Format for each room: {adults}-{childAge1},{childAge2}
If no children, use {adults}- (trailing dash required)

Examples:

# Room 1: 2 adults, no children
# Room 2: 2 adults, children ages 5 and 4
2-;2-5,4

# Single room: 2 adults, 1 child age 8
2-8

# Single room: 3 adults, no children
3-

Children ages

Children ages are passed as integers (in occupancies here, and in rooms[].occupancy.childrenAges at the book step). Supported ages are 1–17. There is no sub-division into categories such as babies, infants, toddlers, or teens, and no automatic conversion of children to adults based on a hotel's own age policy. If the supplied occupancy is not accepted by a hotel, that property simply returns no results.

Residency

There are no residency restrictions on the Bookit side — any valid residency country code is accepted. Availability and pricing for a given residency still depend on the downstream supplier.

Filter Parameters¶

`longitude`	number	Longitude for geo-based search. Requires `latitude` and `radius`. Example: `2.3522`
`latitude`	number	Latitude for geo-based search. Requires `longitude` and `radius`. Example: `48.8566`
`radius`	number	Radius in meters. Requires `longitude` and `latitude`. Example: `5000`

`stars`	integer[]	Star rating filter (0-5). Example: `stars=4&stars=5`

`minPrice`	number	Minimum total price filter (in USD)
`maxPrice`	number	Maximum total price filter (in USD)
`ids`	string[]	List of property `bookitId` values to filter by. Example: `ids=R:123&ids=R:456`. Support for deprecated numeric IDs may be removed in the future.

AllInclusive

Board Conditions

boardType is the board for the whole occupancy you searched. Where the board cannot cover the full occupancy, boardType falls back to None, so a partner reading only boardType is never told a meal is included for guests it would not cover.

board is a more detailed description of the same rate's board, and also includes the count of guests the board covers. board.type uses the same string values as boardType.

{
  "boardType": "None",
  "board": { "type": "Breakfast", "count": 2 }
}

Read together: boardType is what applies to the whole occupancy, and board is the meal plan with the number of guests it covers — here, breakfast for 2 of the guests searched.

boardType is always present; board accompanies it whenever board details are available. Both appear on the package objects of this endpoint, of GET /api/v2/properties/{id}/unmapped-packages, of the batch GET /api/v2/properties/packages, and on properties[].packages[].package in GET /api/v2/search.

Case	What it means
`board.type` equals `boardType`	The board applies to the whole occupancy
`board.type` differs from `boardType`	The board does not cover the full occupancy, so `boardType` is `None`
`board.count` absent	No count is available for this board
`board` absent entirely	No board details are available for this rate — not a room-only rate

An absent board does not mean room only

board is omitted from the payload when no board details are available — for instance a rate quoted before this field existed. That is different from a room-only rate, which is returned as "board": { "type": "None" }. Treat an absent board as "no details available" and fall back to boardType.

count is omitted, never null

When a board has no count, count is left out of the JSON entirely rather than sent as null. The same applies to board itself. Parsers should test for the key's presence, not for a null value.

!!! IMPORTANT: polling is required.

This endpoint uses lazy loading for rates. response.isDone = true indicates that the search has completed. The recommended polling interval is 2 seconds.

GET /api/v2/properties/packages¶

This is a batch version of the GET /api/v2/properties/{id}/packages that allows fetching packages for multiple properties at once. !!! IMPORTANT: This endpoint is optimized for performance and returns only unmapped packages.

Query Parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description
`properties`	string[]	Array of property `bookitId` values. Example: `R:5234099,R:2059144`. Up to 100 properties per request is recommended. Support for deprecated numeric IDs may be removed in the future.
`checkIn`	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	Check-in date. Example: `2025-10-06`
`checkOut`	string (YYYY-MM-DD)	Check-out date. Must be after `checkIn`. Example: `2025-10-07`
`occupancies`	string	Occupancy information for all rooms. See Occupancy Format above
`residency`	string	Guest residency country code (ISO-3166-1 alpha-2). Example: `FR`
`eager`	boolean	If set to `true`, response will only be returned when the search has fully completed
`supplierTimeout`	integer	Maximum time in seconds per supplier. See `GET /api/v2/search` Optional Parameters for details

Responses

The response is an array of objects with the same schema as GET /api/v2/properties/{id}/packages response.
